PADI-ing hard!

Thursday, the 31st of August is the Malaysian national day, called Merdeka (= independence). Of course Thursday is public holidays. I took a day off Friday, so that I can make it to the Perhentian Islands over this 4 days week-end. Great opportunity to go for my PADI OpenWater certification. Purpose: being able to rent diving gear and dive by myself!

This is for the fun part. Now, the PADI exam requires a lot a reading ahead of time. Nitrogen pressure, thermocline, Archimedes principle, buoyancy control... WTF?? Reminds me of my Physics classes a loooong time ago! So definitely I can say that I am paddling hard with it...

Grand Opening

It's Saturday morning, around 2p. No special plan to spend the day. Beautiful weather, you want to enjoy the (rest of the) day. The typical question raises up: what to do? Then you wonder "let's see, what did I do last week-end?... Huh I can't recall. Two weeks ago? Can't either!" Pfff... So sad to spend great moments and forget about them right away! So, why not starting a blog? Not a diary, just a log to keep track of all the fun I got...
