More Sipadan Pics – Part 9 (Project AWARE)

On the 4th day, we organised a kampung and beach clean-up with the local school kids (well, not many of them actually go to school), the kampung security and development committee (JKKK) and the mosque committee. The turn-up was good and overwhelming. At the end of the do, the resort provided free food and drinks for the participants.

I’ll Never Neglect A Sea Cucumber Anymore

Unlike how women neglect me…

Remember how uninteresting sea cucumbers are? Well, not anymore. Not for me. There are super macro stuff on them. These are shots I took at Kapalai:

Long Shot: Long shot

Close Up: Super macro

Even this macro stuff looks big now:D

Shrimp

All on one sea cucumber…of course after that I got lost as I was alone…and decided to surface after my dive computer beeped an alarm and I could hear people speaking Tagalog (I must have been real far from the others 😀 )

The sea does not give me headaches
The sea does not give me heartaches
The sea does not make me hypertensive
The sea does not make me have arrhythmia
The sea does not make me pre-diabetic
The sea does not whack me with Thermos Flask
The sea does not double-cross me
The sea does not shut me out by keeping silent
The sea does not make me an emotional buffer
The sea therefore gives me life…
