Freedom is the right of all sentient beings...

So i've spent my Christmas night watching Transformers....its such a great movie and no matter how many times i've watched it...it wont bored me...

I know its a bit of out-dated but who cares? Uuuhhh...i so love this...every time i hear this, my tears rolling in my eyes..

Jazz: "What about Bumblebee? What can't just leave him to die! And become some human experiment!"
Optimus Prime: He'll die in vain if we don't accomplish our mission. Bumblebee is a brave soldier. This is what he would want.
Ironhide: "Why are we fighting to save the humans? They're a primitive and violent race."
Optimus Prime: "Were we so different? They are a young species. They have much to learn... but I've seen goodness in them. Freedom is the right of all sentient beings...... You all know there is only one way to end this war: We must destroy the Cube. If all else fails, I will unite it with the spark in my chest."
Ratchet: "That's suicide! The Cube is raw power—it could destroy you both."
Optimus Prime: "A necessary sacrifice to bring peace to this planet... We cannot let the humans pay for our mistakes. It's been an honor serving with you all. Autobots, roll out!"

—The Autobots discussing their next move

I want my freedom too and i deserve it too...so i'll be heading to Phuket, Phi Phi Island & Krabi...in search of freedom...

Timberland hiking shoe - expensive and its causing bruises at this stage

Reebok running shoe - purposely bought this for marathon...but i have no idea when is my next marathon

Rock Pillars climbing shoe - thanks to Nomad Christmas sale which left me no excuse not to get myself a pair or climbing shoe + harness

P.Weh Diving (24-28 Oct 2008)

Came back from my 1st oversea diving trip to P. Weh @ Acheh, Indonesia.

Been lazy and slack recently and by right should have already updated this blog 1.5 months ago!

I went with the heart to see whale shark and manta rays....and of coz came back empty handed coz its not the season...i'm just trying to be wishful. Many have asked me is there anything interesting in Weh....somehow i dunno how to answer. How do you define interesting? Different ppl have different standard and definition towards it though...

To me...seeing a yellow box fish in a dive can really excite me....i can stare at an ordinary octopus or minutes....even huge sea fans consider something interesting to me...how about u?

OK...apparently there's some: -

1. underwater hot spring
-Its special coz u wont get it elsewhere....imagine u are soaking yourself in cool water and can feel the warm bubbles around you? and with fishes swimming around it? Its a new experience i would say....

2. volcano mud spa with wet suit + bikini top
-we really have fun digging the boiling volcanic mud from a hole and blow it cool so that we can apply it on our face & body. Also enjoyed helping each other to apply volcanic mud...
-too bad that to date i still havent get the photos captured in Rebecca's camera...else i've sure share with all :P

3. on board with a special 'VIP'
-the special 'VIP' i meant : VIP = corpse! How special could it be? We shared the same ferry from Banda Acheh to Pulau Weh. Luckily no smell detected.

4. get to see a boat that rest on top of a single storey house and surrounded by many houses nearby
-thats the post tsunami scene that u dont get to see it at like anywhere..
