Life Under the Sea

Hello People! I'm back. I know I've been missing in action for quite sometime. I got so lazy and didn't update my blog...hee...sorry. Now even my chatter box is gone...OK..I'll install a new one.

Yesterday I borrowed a friend's camera for our diving trip at Talang-Talang. It's been a while I go for diving, this year we didn't get to dive much because everytime they organized a trip, we always have something else planned earlier...or last min changes. Luckily I got to do at least one more dive before the season end... which is in a few weeks. Monsoon time, so no more diving until next year. That's for Kuching.

For this last trip( hopefully there'll be another after raya) we went to Talang Talang. The water is not as clear but still I get to see some real big fish, which really surprised me. I also saw a lot of Fugu fish, they're not afraid of me at all...I went so close yet it just stay still...I wanted to scare the fugu so I can see how it blow up..but, too bad.. I'm not scary enough. Then I spotted this Blue Spotted Ray hiding away...I wanted to go more closer to take picture, but when I turn back I thought I lost my dive buddy so I quickly swim and look for him. It's kinda scary when you're alone underwater...I get creepy feeling. It's worst then being alone in a dark space, at lease you know you always have air to bearth & scream for help. But underwater, if something go wrong, u can't call for help..and your air will run out...OK..I'm not gonna freak you out...afterall life is short, Diving is FUN! and car accident is more the underwater accident...



In this trip I also get to try on catching lobster, which is really fun. I nearly caught one...yah...nearly....but it escape when I was too happy wanting to show it off...OK.. next trip..I'll catch one and show off here! not when I'm still in the water,...

The most important, I got a pretty good experience with taking underwater photo, thou the camera is not so advance and I didn't use flash because I worried the battery will run out fast especially in the first dive. Tat's why all the picture came out very blue. I think next time I know what to adjust to make the photo more colorful.... OK I Need to start saving for my Nikon 70s housing & underwater flash...(>_<) Pssst...my Birthday is coming soon... in 3 months.

It was quite a relaxing trip, I feel energized & charged. After we came back from the sea, We also had some great fresh fish for an early dinner, the guys took one of the red snapper they caught & all the lobster to a restaurant at the Cowboy town of Kuching, Tondong to cook up so everyone can enjoy it. Then at night we go for 2nd round dinner, my favorate,...Sashimi. This is not tuna or salmon...it's Blue Spotted Grouper, The chinese call it "Seven Star Spot"...very good fish. I think to eat it with Sashimi style is the best way to taste the fish, it's so fresh, tender and... Oissshiiiiii!
