Tioman Diving Trip 08




With Suzanne, Dessy & Hendra, Genn, Hensley st August- 3rd August

We left Singapore at 630am. the ferry at the ferry terminal didn't leave till 1pm. First mess up from the tour agency.

it wasn't a coach we took, it was a mini van, crowded and bumpy and just unpleasant.

All the timings on the voucher for ferr and coach were wrong! We missed the boat, the boat had to turn back for us. We had no place to sit?! hmmm? so we took the upper deck, it was alot of splashing and sun on us! the ride was 90 mins mind you. Even till now, im feeling groggy.
After reaching the jetty, we missed the bus back home! after changing into 3 forms of transport we finally caught up with the bus and was on the way home.

So anyway, i was shouting at the rude guide who could just leave with the bus with 6 people missing from her list?! what? gosh, and that irritating bus driver from another tour bus who 'helped' to catch our bus.. He couldn't stop complaing. i had to tell him off in front of the whole bus full of about 50 people. Argh..

The Dive was fantastic! wow, i will upload the pictures when i fix the scanner to the comp. Kewl pictures! Corals, hills and hills of them. fishes, lotsa swimming and fun! the pictures were from a disposable marine camera, but the pictures turned out well! Guess it's because it was noon and the waters were clear, in fact, because i was such a air sucker, we only managed to go a 8,9m dive. So sad.... it's the first, but probably the last, unless someone can really convince me to do it again. Hee.

We also saw 6 dogs attacking a cat. by the time i ran there, the and scared the dogs away, i saw the cat drop down from the dogs jaws and lay on the ground motionless. Sigh.... So sad..... I wished i got there earlier, but i was so tied down with the whole business of trying to find out where the bus went! Sigh.... it's so sad, to see a life lost in front of you.
