Smell The Sea

Walking on water

This is the first time that I have returned to the sea since my trip on board the Kaleebso to Pulau Sembilan. Two months it has taken me to overcome.

MUW Moderators’ Meeting

Mods

The moderators of the Malaysian Underwater forum had a meeting at Moderator Hollowman’s house on Friday, 15th February, 2008. I sponsored 60 sticks of satay while Hollowman’s wife prepared Spaghetti with meatballs, cheesecakes, free-flow drinks and coffee.

Congratulations, JIMY

I Fell To Temptation

It was a day when roses cost triple the normal price. But everyone who was courting was out having RM500-dinner somewhere, giving flowers. I even saw one guy on a kapcai with his girl pillion-riding at night; she was holding a bouquet of red roses, while her other hand was hanging on to dear life while he sped through the roads of KL trying to get to his place for a real quickie so her father won’t notice the lapse in her journey time from the supermarket she worked in, back home.

Me, I just bought her this:

Paintball Panzer

I’ve just washed the boots I wore during the last paintball session on January 10th, finally taking off all the mudcakes. This Sunday will be another paintball session that will be played in Gombak. With lunch it’s for RM75. Not bad, actually.

The above is called a Paintball Panzer. It is a custom made miniature WW2 German Panzer and costs USD14,400.

In Russia however, paintball tanks are already part of the paintball world. I wonder when is the Malaysian paintball scene ever going to have anything like it – if ever.

My Old Kindy

I went to Diver’s Den this morning to go pick up my camera bag. Coincidentally, it is located next to what was my kindergarten I went to 36 years ago. Every evening I would look forward to cartoons like Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table and Birdman. My favourite TV series were Giant Robot and the original Ultraman.

Back in 1972, the work to turn the Federal Highway into a proper highway as what it is now began. Prior to that, crossing from the University Hospital to the Saint Francis Xavier church and the old EPF building was done using a traffic light junction. I remember my neighbour, Fazrin Azuar (now the son-in-law of Rafidah Aziz who got famous for a while because of the pink form issue), and I, used to fight for the attention of this cute chinese girl called Sharon who lived in the Paramount Gardens area. The highlight of my time there was when we had to stand by the Federal Highway to wave the Malaysian flag, welcoming Queen Elizabeth II on her maiden visit to Malaysia.

Sad to see it being abandoned like this…

This was where we had our food during recess. They had tables and chairs out here.
