harlequin shrimp...pygmy...wat else...ahha...but so early in e morn...620am...btw where r we boarding? budget terminal?? beta chk it out now..

tis is funny & clever...using pop up book..

WAT...................

i really cannot believe our luck....=)

b4 we set off 2 KL, last min, HN's dad dun 1 2 go up malacca,den his mom had 2nd tots also..so dilly dally here there...den when we were on e roads, 4got 2 take a letter tt HN's dad 1ed HN 2 help get sme uncle in Kl 2 sign (which in e end also never got signed)..

so by e time we were really really on e roads, it was oredi 11+am...so our plan o getting there 4 e lucky draw cldnt b met...

after we dropped off HN's mom & sis at malacca, we proceed on 2 KL, by den it was oredi 3pm...den we got lost in KL central, trying 2 find e hotel...so by e time we rc e dive expo, it was oredi 5pm...so our sat was spent travelling...

den we went 4 e PADI party...nth much, tot there wld b lucky draw like e spore 1...but no...so we had a few drinks, snacks, den we went off 2 "chi chong kai"...

didnt shop much..got new sunglasses (RM15 each)....not bad..;)

by e time we got bk 2 e hotel oredi 12+...shower, watch tv, almost 2am den we slpt..initially we were tinkin o gg 2 e KLCC, cos in e morn can get free tix den go all e way up..

BUT, we overslpt..haha..by e time we got up was oredi 1015am...& bfast stops at 1030!!! so we rush rush go down eat, heng it closed at 11am... w

we asked 4 a late chk-out, so we went 2 e dive expo (1230 lucky draw)...

we missed e 1st part o e luck draw where u juz nd 2 ans simple qns 2 get coffee table books etc..

anyway, i got a free wetsuit fr Pinnacle worth Rm560!!! but since i've juz bot a new 1 at adex, & HN's wetsuit got hole, so i gave him e prize instead...

after e 1230 lucky draw, it was close 2 115pm,& i nded a shower & we nd 2 chk-out our rm...so we went bk 2 e hotel (heng it was juz opp e dive expo)...

HN initially contemplated tt we shld give e grand lucky draw a miss, cos otherwise we wld b quite late by e time we go malacca 2 pick up his family, den drive bk JB... but since we still haven got e wetsuit, plus HN 1ed 2 buy e super cheap regulator, we decided tt we shld juz stay 4 e lucky draw...

e lucky draw took quite a while, but no luck...den in e middle, they gave aways prizes 4 e kids drawing competition..so long tt we went 2 get e regulators...while HN was busy chking his reg, e lucky draw started again..so i went 2 e seats 2 listen 2 e names picked & also 2 rest....

juz as HN came bk wif his reg, he had barely warmed his seat, his name was called out!!!

2nd prize 4 e grand draw!!!! 7D6N at cocotinos resort!!! wif diving included 4 2 pax!!!

but e most drama was tt after he collect his prize, sat down...den e lucky winner 4 e 1st prize: "ANNIE TAN".....

WAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i was quite stunned...HN was even more stunned...he hasnt even got over his surprise at e 2nd prize...

1st prize was a full diving internship wif Air diving Academy (Bali) worth US$8000+...all e training until u bec an instructor!!!!

i had all e pics taken etc...den i nd 2 pass them my ic 2 cfm my details, e organizer told me tt there was another Annie Tan....

i wasnt v sad actually...i saw e lucky draw coupon tt they had picked, it wasnt mine...i honestly told e person, but she kp insisting tt i stay 1st, cos they nd 2 verify e other person...e other person's IC was in her dialect name...no Annie at all...& on e coupon, there was only e name, & 1 other word which was scribbled... e other annie produced her namecard wif "Annie Tan" & also "Ecolab" which was e word scribbled...

i congratulated e other annie...& was gg off, when e Boss o Air Diving Academy was there, & he said 2 give me a free 4D3N diving at Bali free!!!ahhaa....

i really cldnt believe our luck...thro'out e trip, i had been telling HN tt i 1ed 2 go Bali!!! & everytime tt e lucky draw prize was 2 Bali, i kp hoping tt they wld call my name...but no luck!!! den suddenly tis prize juz dropped into my lap!!!

ahaha...it was a truly dramatic & super luck trip!!!

now i'm wondering when we shld go 4 our trips!!! i'm looking out 4 e air-tix promo now...ahha...happily planning 4 my nx 2 diving trips 2 e 2 places tt i've been 1ing 2 go...=P

i'm super happy, cos i had a wonder seminar juz b4 i went on e KL trip....i'm so exhausted fr all e happiness...hahaa....
