the fruit cried....

Recently i cried a lot...tears falling down from my eyes when i see the birth of an Olympic champion in the sports i like....

when i see how Phelps score his golds and keep crunching world records....i cried...i imagine...what has this guy gone through behind us before he can stand in front of the world like today...how intense he has trained?...and now...the world's eyes are on him...he's a star...shining and get noticed..standing on the podium with his national anthem...crowds cheering for him...its just awesome and something to die for....that's something called 'the moment of life'!

when i was watching gymnastics...be it male or female....its just not some kind of sport for tom dick and harry....i wonder how come these ppl chosen such a hard life....stay on gym a30nd train like mad, doing those torturing actions repeatedly....and now...finally they make it to the podium...they are not just gymnast..they are Olympians...an Olympic champion...phewww..

sports is just so great...u can see ppl's endurance, toughness, passionate, stand in from of the entire world...face the challenge, push to the limit, excel, excel and excel...

today, we seen so many successful examples...see how their dreams come true...but what about those have yet to make it in front of us? where do they get the courage and support? will they succeed one fine day?

given a second life....i think i would want to be really serious in sports...

Recreational Club

Today, officially, i became the committee member for my bank's Recreational Club. I do not consider myself an active person in societies or commitees, especially during school time....but somehow i am excited about it now.

With this new role, i hope if i can promote my favourite sports & activities i.e. scuba diving, photography, rock climbing...etc....rather than those normal stuff like badminton, futsal, bowling...

I guess rock climbing & photograhpy is something realistic...a bit tricky to promote scuba diving...anyhow...i will definitely try by best! Gambateh!

Looking forward to August, for.....

New hobby and a new toy...

I have a new hobby now and I've got myself a new toy..Nikon D60.

Moving forward, I will be actively following my fellow photo enthusiasts friends to different places, snapping nice pictures and of coz to learn from them.

This new toy cost me RM2k.... and i guess the investment amount will eventually increase when my skill improves...coz i will need more canggih accessories by then >.<~

Anyhow....i will try my best to snap as many nice photos as possible....must achieve some kind of reasonable ROI (return of investment) ma~~~

Next thought i have in my mind --> would i still be able to achieve my yearly diving goal with this new hobby?? hrmmm.....

Running for Siemens

Completed my 2nd 10km run for Siemens. Have not been exercising since KLIM @ March. Was a bit worried whether i can complete the 10km run + walk.

Luckily...i managed to did it. Timing wise...improved about 8 minutes i guess :P...that's encouraging though....

So now...its the post syndrome after run lo...muscle cramp, aching...walking like an old lady and craw like a crab now...guess this gonna last for at least 3 days....

Next will be Adidas run...double up...22.7km! Let's see....

Glad that my running buddies increased this time...hope 5 of us can make it for Adidas run next month!

MIDE 2008

I went Malaysia International Dive Expo a.k.a. MIDE @ PWTC today. Spent almost 5 hours there and i end up with these....

Pelican Dive Torch @ RM155

guess what? I think i only did 6 or 7 night dives max...and this is my 3rd dive torch! 1st dive torch lasted me only 1 1/2 dive. Its an Ikelite torch...dont buy it! 2nd dive torch actually still can be used sometimes...i've dropped it twice...so the housing become bit loose and sometimes it might fail you...so...i have no choice need to look for another primary torch. 2nd torch is an Apollo torch...quality ok la...can buy. I hope my new Pelican dive torch wont disappoints me...

Sport Diving magazine 2 yrs subscription @ RM180

I think this is a real good deal. The subscription package comes with 2 free gifts! An underwater diving torch + surface marker a.k.a. 'sausage'.

Out of the blue...i suddenly got 2 underwater torch now...not bad huh? The sausage is something i would like to buy coz i've lost mine during my last dive trip at Sipadan....that was a brand new sausage and i haven't even launch it b4...haizz...now that when i think back, it really makes me feel sad. The last trip was an expensive one, not only i lost my sausage, i dropped my 'ding ding' a.k.a pointer and its also the trip that my torch became 'sot sot dei' and cannot be rely on.

By the way, i am RM335 poorer today....

The Neptune Memorial Reef~

Where would you want to rest yourself after life? underground? in the air? or under the sea?

Well, just found out some creative guys at US has this - Neptune Memorial Reef

The Creators of the Neptune Memorial Reef hope it will become a memorial for the dead and a diving site. Instead of a burial funeral, people can pay to have their remains placed in one the reef's structures after their death. I thought this is something interesting....for those who love the sea, they will probably buy the idea....

So....where is the memorial reef? Given a chance, would you want to dive there? If yes, i definitely will :P

The Neptune Memorial Reef is located in open waters 3 1/4 miles off the coast of Key Biscayne - Miami, Florida (US) which means any certified diver can visit. The artificial reef's first phase allows for about 850 remains.

The ashes are mixed with cement designed for underwater use and fitted into a mold, which a diver then places and secures into the reef. A copper and bronze plaque is installed with the person's name, date of birth and death. There is also a line for a message.

The cost of a placement starts at $995 and can go to $6,495, for those who want to be placed inside the base of a lion statue for all eternity.
