Freedom

I've never appreciate fresh air and the greens more than ever.
Or wild thunderstorms. or whatever nature has to offer.

Being in f****** dull and boring place suck life out of me.

Please dear friends, meet me often to keep me sane.

p.s. Meet me where there're windows. Best if it's out in the open.

p.s.s I think I'm claustrophobic.

Diving trip!

But there's absolutely no pictures of me diving! hahha! It's mostly pictures on board. My cousin and the instructor had special cameras to bring them underwater. Till I get the pictures from them, here're some on board ones!

It's a really cool experience living on the yacht. I was there since thursday evening till sunday evening! 4 days on-board. It's not that boring. But basically, all we did was sleep, dive, eat, dive, eat, dive, eat, dive, sleep, dive, eat etc. See the pattern? haha! Yes I slept a lot! It was damn nice to sleep! With the yacht rocking, just like being in a cradle. And I love how small and cosy the cabin was!

Here's a picture of me! Looking happy but I was very very tired.
My smile looked fake.
My bed! The amazing sea view!
Sarah's bed.
She's so smart to take the bottom bunk. It was so cold on the top!
On the top deck. Sarah with yuen yin, my cousin.
I looked bald. haha!
Some of the others!
There's my uncle, and the rest are my cousin's cousins and uncle.
Nice view of an island!
The tiny toilet. But it was rather clean.
An interesting fact: Things flushed in the toilet goes out into the sea! hahhaha!
There was once when Sarah was still down in the sea when she saw something brown drifting towards her. Pretty obvious what it was right? hahaha! Gross shit. Literally.
Me! At the diving preparation area. Quite cool right?
It gets chaotic when we're about to dive.
Everyone crowds around that area.
The very friendly crew on board!
Tip top service!!!
They were so happy when I took this picture of them!
They helped to take a picture for us!
Me and the island.
Sarah resting!



Whale or tortoise?
More of whale right? Since it's in an ocean.


I love to dangle my feet at the side of the yacht!!!
And emo like mad, with the breeze against my face.

Plus can occasionally spot sea fairies! (This weird little creature that will fly on the surface of the ocean, then will disappear into the waters. That's sea fairy to me!)


No I'm not copying huijia's famous princess shot. hahaa!
Sunset view!!! Love it!





We had BBQ at night!!! Damn nice food!!!
The crew did the cooking, and we did the eating!


Dave, the instructor, reading out a love letter from Kim's bf.
Kim's bf passed a letter to Felicia, for her to pass it to Kim on the Saturday. It's supposedly there're anniversary. No idea why she let Dave read that out loud! I felt so embarrassed for her! Gosh. Lots of lovey dovey mushy stuff.
We had light sticks! I wasn't that fascinated.
Full moon!!!
And a storm was brewing.
That night, the yacht was soooooo rocky.
And it rained very very badly.

Love it!
Sarah with her sun-kissed cheeks!
This should be Pular Aur.
See the resort?
It belongs to my instructor!!!
Cool.
And he has a bar on the island, called Narcosis. (It's some diving term)

Okay that's it!!!
8 dives over the weekend.

I'm quite glad I did suba diving!
An exciting journey for me.
I was quite grumpy for the first 2 days cos I was very scared.
But everything turned out fine!!!!! In fact, it's better than just fine! Awesome!!!

I might wanna do more someday. (as in advanced diving)
But should feel more comfortable doing normal dives first.

For now, I should just pass the exam.
Yes, 1 more final exam and I'm done!!!!

Wish me good luck!!!

Diving. omg.

I'm going for the diving trip later. I wished it was sky diving. haha! Sky diving seems much safer than scuba diving. I'm seriously scared.

Okay just stay calm and have fun!!! My last getaway before work starts. Better enjoy!!!

Mornington Peninsular

I must really thank Jiaxi for another wonderful day! She's so nice to suggest us going to Mornington together! And yes, she drove us there!!!

Mornington is another highlight of my trip! It's so scenic! If only I've lots of time there.

Sam and I!!! We were super happy on that day. hahaha! Like we're high on drugs. haha! But we're high on something else! hehehehe!
So lovely!!! Yes, there were not many people there. Another reason why I love this place!
Shuling, Hui Jia and I!
On the boardwalk.
The kid was in his superman outfit! So cute.
Taking a stroll with his grandma!


This was taken from the restaurant. The food was so ex!
Sam and I ordered carbonara pasta. I feel like puking at the thought of that. hahaha! Way too creamy for my liking. We couldn't finish!


Arthur's seat. I forgot what's so special about this seat. hahaha!

It's way up the mountain/hill. haha! Dunno what's it called.
The view was magnificent!!!


Next, we went to Ashcrome maze. It's like a garden made up of many little mazes. The mazes were not the main attraction. The view was!!! So beautiful!!!!! I can just stay there all day!!!

The 5 of us stuck in a maze. hahaha!
But it's quite easy to navigate our way out.
Obviously, I wasn't leading the group. haha!
At the rose maze!!! I love roses!!!


A very nice pic of Sam and I! I developed this for her!!! hahaha!

Like this pic! It's like the rose among the thorns( white boring flowers in this case)



See the view!!!



haha! Huijia looked like she's trying to take a pic of the squirrel.
But she's taking a pic of jiaxi! So cute.


There was a lake hidden behind all the mazes!!!!!

Sam's sitting on the very wobbly platform. haha!
But this pic is so amazing!


Reminded me of mario! haaha!





Lavender field! Smells nice!!!

I was sooooooooo sad when we had to leave the place.
The sunset made things worse. Plus listening to Muse and another very emo song.

I miss Melbourne days so much!!! Staying with Shuling was like a sleepover party every night. I rmb one night when we gossiped about JC days. haha!

And travelling with Sam was like a dream come true!!! My very first friend in hall going on a grad trip with me! How cool is that?!!!

I dare say not many people in NTU made true good friends. I did! So good for me! hahaha!

Wish I can be there right now with the right company.

Someday I'll be back!!!!
