independence day, the 53rd.

Today is the anniversary of Malaysia’s independence from the British rule, 53 years ago… on paper that is, I’m not quite sure about several other aspects especially the individual mentality and attitude. The actual date of independence probably different and it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s a lot less than 53 years. Anyway, it’s a [...]

near drowning experience

The boat moored for my second dive that day at a site called Midway Reef, a submerged reef known for its continuous currents and lots of pelagics to be seen as one drifts along the endless coral patches. According to the tide table, there weren’t supposed to be any currents or even if there is, [...]

bloody nose

It’s been a while since the last time this nose of mine bleeding out of control without any reason. Usually it’s when I’m having high fever or been out in the sun for too long. Since the WorldCup finals, fever kicked in and I’ve been coughing especially at night but it only lasted for a [...]

carpe diem

On the way back from Tioman, we stopped over Ayer Keroh to watch WorldCup. During the intense match I was oblivious to my surrounding, then I realised that I was the only one cheering for Germany loudly surrounded by a bunch of staunch England supporters. I survived the night without getting myself beaten up or [...]

manic morning

The flight was scheduled for 7:40am and when I woke up it was 6am. It’s like the clock’s number 6 figure was zooming in and out of my vision, a la Hindustan movie to emphasize how late I was. Yeah, no thanks to WorldCup match last night for this. I didn’t even watch the game [...]
