exactly a week ago....i took e bus 2 transview.....all ready 2 go 4 my open waters.....i dun really my feeling then....i guess i was in a pretty much concussed state then cos i had 2 wake up really early 2 do publicity at orchard hotel....which wasn't part o my job actually....
when we reached, doremon was there....saw e list o pple who were gg.....all their passport no. start fr 80+++ much much younger than us.....then there was tis whole bunch o NS guys (same crew cut, same poser pattern....) coach ride 2 mersing was kind o uncomfortable cos i kept swinging here & there.....but it was still ok, at least i wasn't having any travel sickness....ferry ride was also smooth but rather cold......
reached e resort ard 6am....we had 2 wake up at 8 4 breakfast then e dive.....i ko almost immediately when i reach e bed....
i woke...still sleepy but excited....breakfast wasn't tt gd actually & i didn't 1 2 eat 2 much else i wld puke.....moses gave a little talk under e coconut trees then we had 2 change & get ready.....
1st dive, giant stride......wasn't tinking much...juz doing.....snokled a bit while waiting 4 e others 2 jump in....fishes...reefs...i was happy......descend.....shit, i hit e reefs....i bent my knees but i hit e reefs wif my knees 2....sorry coral reefs!!!!! a run o e skills tt we learnt....finished...
2nd dive a bit chaotic....every1 was floating here there everywhere.....haonian & victor were having trouble contolling every1....moses was helping pam equalise her ears....but tis dive was where i saw e most beautiful things among all e 5 dives.....i wasn't as frightened as i tot i wld b...mayb becos i saw e others who were much more KC than me.....hhahaaaa....
3rd was ok....but e current at e surface was making me a little scared actually.....but underneath it was peace & quiet.......
end o 1st day's dive.....had dounuts 4 tea...btw e lunch suck big time...but again i didn't take much cos i was afraid i wld get seasick....
sat at e beach...looking at e sunset....relaxing....even though i knew time was short....i felt gd.....climbed e bridge...wobbly at certain parts....not much o an adventure....but fr e brige, e sunset was even more beautiful....
e nite was e best.....e stars.....i was totally absorbed in it......it was beautiful.....tt momentous blackout was e highlight.....stars.......wow.......
more fun wif e other open water divers.....all youngsters fr SP.....young men...or shld i say boys becoming men.....cute...innocent...gentlemenly most o e time....
2 more dives then we were on our way bk 2 s'pore......kind o sad actually.....i knew time was short but it was really 2 short.....
e last meal o tt day, at fong seng....prata wif teh tarik.....took cab home wif haonian....he asked...y did u 1 2 dive.....i paused.....i 1ed 2 overcome my phobia.....u did well then! congrats....yes i did it....& i'm glad.....
i'm sure many times we have many different phobias & we choose not 2 face them.....but when u do, they may not b as scary as they seem.....i tried & i succeeded.....
