Actually the 'big' and 'heavy' stuffs are all baby's diving equipments so not much of a choice too...
and for me,i brought along a few magazines,books ,my IPod touch to self entertain myself while he's diving... hehe
At 9pm++,we set off to the Dive shop at bedok to meet up with the rest and i saw this super huge but cute Husky-like dog . Shadow(Yes,that is the dog's name) is super friendly!
isn't Shadow a pretty dog? (i know i look bad,but i'm really super tired lor)
So we all set off for Mersing jetty at 10pm and by 2am we reached... traffic was kinda smooth so we reach quite early too...
The ferry came at 3am and soon i was sleeping like a log,so this time no seasick. haha
Early morning at 7am,we reached Dayang Island...
Pretty and clean with clear waters!
baby went for his 1st dive at 9.30am,for me? i went back to dreamland and finally woke up around 12pm.
Guess wat woke me up?
The heat!! its was so so so hot and the power supply for the aircon was cut off at like maybe 10am? talk about power conservation! i woke up covered in sweat lor...
i actually preferred Tioman to Dayang cause i like to have my own toliet. Guess my horror when they showed me my room,its was like nearly a nightmare.
First its just a room with no toliet (toilet is far far away!), Secondly no power supply till evening (which means no aircon), thirdly i cant lock the room cos the lock is spoilt! (i can only lock it from the inside,so all the time when i out i got to carry my valuables belongings. stupid right?)
The Room... (Sobz sobz)
Jus a small tiny basin outside the room to freshen up
The walkway leading towards my room
Actually apart from the lodging,the others is still pretty ok..
The food is nice, the scenery is fantastic, the water is clear and its a nice place to relax and do nothing (that's for me only cos everyone who is here comes for diving... haha)
Just love the sea here...
look at his exhausted eyes... Poor baby... (but he's enjoying all the dives) :p
Relaxing for awhile before the next dive...
After lunch i decided to accompany baby out for diving...
Edwin(baby's instructor) told me that he'll bring me down later to take a look (snorkeling i guess...) and for that moment i thought he was joking.
But guess wat,he really meant to bring me down.
I wore the life jacket and slowly went down to the open sea and i panicked the moment my feet left the ladder steps.
i was floating but i just couldnt help but worry i'll sink into the sea,guess this is wat happen when u donno how to swim,just feel so insecure...
i was grabbing on the edwin so tightly and finally after awhile my uneasiness slipped away...
i was given a mask to wear and the moment i look down i kinda freak out.
The seabed was like so so so far away from me (but edwin says its only a mere 5metre) and its so huge! i only manage to 'enjoy' the view for maybe a minute then i request to go up to the boat...
Don get me wrong, the view is really fantastic but i guess for a non swimmer like me, its kinda hard to digest the fear out in the open sea...
After that i went back to the "land",sat outside my room,enjoying the sea breeze while watching my Sex and the City..
baby went out to dive again and the last dive ended around 9pm, Dinner was great with all those bbq food, very meaty~ my kind of food... hehe
The next day, i skipped breakfast in exchange for my beauty sleep...
baby went for his dive again and he saw a turtle... how nice...
around 2pm,we left dayang island for Home sweet Home...
:P
Really enjoy the weekend getaway~
