was GREAT!! wasnt regret one bit ~ i got my tempo card as a diver... keke sounds cool huh?
well it started months ago when a fren of mine ask me to join him take this diving course... i just said... "ohh.. redang diving? okie ! i'm in" ( 5mins of thinking... i sign up O_o was kinda bored w/o plans since 'someone' cancelled the langkawi trip)
so yea... 4 days 3 nites as promised abt 6~7hrs bus trip from kl to kuala terengganu
set of on wed nite abt 830pm my hse to train station ktm serdang to ktm putra
there's a bus terminal there near 'the mall' and 'pwtc'
the bus to kuala terengganu set of at abt 10pm ( if not mistaken) .... the seats was quiet ok 3 seats per row. i couldnt sleep in the bus =S... play my DS for awhile and pass to my frendz to play lan games... and... keke... i fell asleep till the bus got its pit stop at some point at abt 2 or 3 am no idea wheres the place is... kinda blur at that time. so... dun bother abt that xD reached kuala terengganu bus terminal at 5am++.... a bit earlier than expected, waited till 6am+ some bus picked us up and went for breakfast at some Chinese shop. after that we went to some jetty to catch our boat trip TO REDANG ISLAND... keke finally to the main part of the whole story
the boat.... or ship... =_= ok.. tiny ship... the ride sux.. the seats... sux... the wave... @_@.... 50% of the ppl inside vomited... me? i slept... hahah xD funny... i can sleep in the ship while most of the people struggle with the shaky ride... i got no idea how long the ship ride takes... when i open my eyes its near the shore to the island already~ yaya~
oh yea.. almost forget my friends tat join me, let me intro a bit who is the divers XD

get off the toopid tiny ship and walk towards my resort... pelangi beach.... i guess or issit pelangi resort... STM!!
throw everything i hv into my room ( 4 person per room; sharing with winter, stery n huay boon) went for a light lunch and diver's meeting....watched the beginner's video... sign some application form and then got a demo on how to set up the eqs (by 2 pro instructor KC and Desmond)... and "GEAR UP! lets go into the water" woot~ my 1st day of diving training begins right away~
getting my hands on those eqs was kinda fun.... but it ends soon after i got to carry the oxygen TANK... OMFG... 10 or 15kg... +_+ wth... ok next eqs ready... get my wetsuit on... -.- not my size but hv to wear it coz no more others for me T_T... got the mask... mask w/o power.. i cant see "clearly"... but since mine is abt 350+ both eyes nearsighted... they said is ok to go in... oh well... just grap my fin and ready to go underwater... so.. here goes my day One. practice some skill and trying to breath thru mouth w/o sucking water into my nose... +_+ wasnt that great... pretty scary too... and as i said my wetsuit wasnt my size... water got in ... COLDD!!! T_T
clearing mask make me choke in the sea water alot... day one... i guess i drank few bottles of sea water already... lol... ok.. i miss something... weight belt.... omfg... adding another 1.5kg x 4!! walk towards to water and water towards the divers area... +_+ i can feel i sink into the sand when step into it... ahh tired day one; went bak to my room take a shower and hv BBQ dinner~ ( food there not bad... eat-able xD) later at nite we went for a walk on the sandy beach with the starry nite~... basically walked towards to the end of the line.. and reached reef ( a resort at the end)
heard of some plankton.... glows in the dark near the rocks.. O_O we went to search for it near the shore... and found a few... its called " blue sand" O_O glows in blue... as big as a dot... +_= very nice~ but i cant hold it for long... after sometime it will fade and stop glowing.. hv to throw it back into the water =/ bak to my room rest up for day 2; 9pm dive
8am+ hv to get my butt off the bed to hv a light breakfast... +_+ gotta go dive... cant sleep well the previous nite.. coz theres TWO 'soh poh' ( aka siau char bo ; crazy woman) in my room dint sleep and start talking funny things. +_+ i hv this problem with my ear.. i cant equalize the pressure within my ears... T_T and worst is that i keep suck water into my nose and panic went straight up to the top to breath.... on that time.. i tell myself i cant back up now... i wanna dive!! i wanna go deeper into the sea to see more... was pretty down at that time... coz i cant do those skill that kc and Desmond taught me the day before. =/ i went back to shore... nearer to practice it myself again... others was abt 5~6m deep i guess... i just cant do it. adam was with me helping me... then we went back to hv a short rest and change tank. had a short meeting... abt our weakness... obviously mine was keep breathing thru my nose... =_= started to feel a bit tension and stressed... y do everyone can do it and i CANT?!?!!? i dun wanna fail.. i wanted to dive badly. then we went back into training once more... same thing happened... they went deeper... i just cant do it.. i guess i hv already drink lots da sea water thru my nose already... again i went back to shore.. nearer i can "practice" it... then rina(divemaster i guess) came to save me... T_T kinda scary too.. she guide me... by... forcing me to suck the water thru my nose when i choke... keeping me underwater... is like a feeling of drowning xD well.... i did it.. O_O she let me use some other mask she brought along which is much clearer and cleaner than the current one i was using. i'm glad that i made it... all those dam salt water went into my nose +_+... she should hv come save me earlier...
again we went back to shore to change our tank.. i was requested to went into the water again once more 30 mins earlier... to show KC i can do it... everything goes well and the problem with my ear come again -_= dam!! i need time to equalize my ears
