This Old House

Farhan inside the little hut

This house was completed early last quarter of 2001. I did some renovation to it, then did some DIY stuf like putting up the wooden panels, lighting etc. All bulbs, save for the lounge and kitchen, are energy-saving bulbs…even outside. I see a reduction from the usual RM5xx electric bill back at Bukit Rahman Putra using conventional lighting and two airconditioners to just around RM50 per month with the lights outside remaining on for the whole night every night and three rooms using airconditioner.

My next project is to complete the fence lighting, and another pond behind the bonsai tree.

You can view more of the house HERE.

Love Plus One

Where to dive?

What’s with the title? It’s actually the name of a song from 1982 by Haircut 100 called Love Plus One (what else could it be?). There’s a part, a bridge if you like, in the song that goes like this:

Where does it go from here?
Is it down to the lake I fear?

I was singing that part to myself when wondering where to go diving.

Yes, it’s mid-January and the question that I am getting frequently is: “When is your next dive trip? Where will you be going?”

The short answer would be: Port Dickson.

Other than that would be Pulau Payar…or an LOB trip to Pulau Jarak. Another interesting place would be Roach Reef as there’s a special package offered for 4D/3N – 3 boat dives a day, unlimited shore dives, food and accommodation included. And it’s cheap.

Come March I’ll have to go back to Pulau Bidong, after that maybe an LOB trip to..wherever because the whole vessel has been chartered by a friend.

Maybe I’ll do just that. Organise an LOB trip every month and get people to pay cheap.

So where will you be diving next? And when?
