The most important thing i learned during my brief moment of insanity is that - Fear is a concept. It is not real. It is cooked up in our mind during it's idle time and is fuelled by the media hype and sensationalisation of shark attacks, stingray poking people's chest etc to sort of protect ourselves from ever wanting to come out of our comfort zone and to be safe players of life always. Granted fear is not all bad, as it also keeps us from being stupid 24/7 but in general fear is the reason why people don't learn and don't grow intellectually.
So here it is gang - my journey to become a PADI certified Open Water Diver. Hope you guys get something from this. From my greatest fear , to a growing rush of adrenalin and a blanket of calm at the same time.
Muka CONTROL BERANI gua dengan seorang advanced diver yang baru saja diadvancekan.
Tengah cuba equalizing.
sedang mencari tandas dengan pantas. Seksanya kalau nak kena buang air besar ketika scuba diving.
Alamak, nak buang air ada ikan pulak dalam gua ni..
Holy Cow ! My new haircut cost how much?
Gua yang tengah buang air tetiba ada manusia pulak kat dalam air n tengok gua, ek eleh lepas tu ambik gambar lak kat situ.
baik gua belah dari sini... nanti penyu tu mintak otograf gua pulak susah nanti.
Hi kodok-kodok semua, bila nak buka sama-sama?

Proud of you!!
And love this entry.
You actually have encouraged me to conquer my fear for snow sports.

Thanks.
'conquering fear'... in business it is termed 'risk management', urrghh... yukks! sound so rigid huh.
i think next u r going to do space walk, aight?... nak kena call NASA for them to provide u with 'zero gravity space toilet'.
cheers mister, keep it goin
Awas hati-hati terkena sengatan stingray... Nanti seperti Steve Irwin loh.. hehe... Selamat menjalankan ibadah puasa ramadhan 1427 H, semoga amalan baik kita diterima di sisi-Nya... salam kenal dari Indonesia...
That haircut shot... underwater, you look like one of those Good Luck Trolls that were all the rage in the 80s! :)
bro, sesuai ok u and water and fishes and water and fishes.. eh dah cakap ek?
selamat berramadhan!
Perhaps some movie scenes under water lpas ni? Or sequel to baik punya cilok, as in what happened to those yg jatuh dalam tasik besides Wak (AC). Ade nampak mermaid ke merman ke mernenek ke kan (ok , just drop this idea, too 80s, unless you wanna recreate/reenact something like those Splash (1984) scenes. But prolly save it for some spoof spin-offs).
Good to know all those props are back to where they belonged.
Ajak2 berbuka nih ajak-ajak ayam ker?
OKla bro afdlin, ramadhan kareem, may u achieve the great many rewards and barakah throughout this holy month.

wah .. gwa da lame tunggu nk amek ini license .. insyaALLAH next august will take the course .. susah ke bro ?
er.. bilanya nak buke poser ni?
Congratulations on your becoming an Open Water Diver, and yet another Nizar student. I was there when you did your dive, especially so at Terumbu Tiga. Yeah, that particular dive when my friend (well, sedara mara Nizar gak dia tu) got so excited because you were diving, tried to help you because he thought you had problems descending, when what you really had was problem equalising. We ticked him off on the boat on the way back to the dive center for meddling with one of Nizar's students, no matter how pitiful it may have seen to him. Mamat tu punya malu and terasa semangkuk mangkuk mangkuk that he did not dive anymore after that and just stayed in the room. Sorry la sebab had I, or any of the rest in my group, seen him do that to you, we would have stopped him. Just his usual eager self la...overkill.
The next morning, during dawn dive, there was this big (around 8ft) shark that was feeding and we caught that on camera (http://www.narcaholic.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=39).
To tell you the truth, I am more afraid of the Titan Triggerfish than I am of sharks.
Hope to dive with you one day.
congratulations on your open water certification!
The humphead fish is like saying "what the .... amik gambar aku"...wakakaka...
what camera are you using?
envy envy ;)
zaman muda2 ke bro :)
