We arrived at RSYC around 11am.  With our barangs, we were all ready to board the ferry to our first dive site, Sudong Wreck.  My feeling was filled with great joy when the ferry departed the jetty.  Alas!  It's diving time! 

Upon arrival at our first dive site, we were all geared up and ready to go!   The minute i got to the waters, i wasn't feeling comfortable with the water condition.  the vis was totally unacceptable!  my discomfort level increases with the depth of my descend, as i couldn't see a single thing.  To being with, I was never a fan of wreck dives, let alone terrible vis wreck dives. A minute into diving, my ears doesn't seems to be cooperative, i couldn't equalize.  It was the turning point that i decided to excuse myself from the dive. 

Non divers were given an option to stay on Pulau Hantu while the divers head for their dive#2.  I chose to chill out at Hantu, while waiting for the divers to be back here for a BBQ lunch.



Altho this trip turn out to be a non-diving, i was happy as i am out in the sea once again!

the minute when the nurse pushed my dad to the operation theatre, i could feel a stone crashed down my heart.  I was scare. very scare.

Each time i looked at my watch, it seems to have gone few minutes slower.  Each time the mobile phone rang, our heartbeat increases.  Tick Tock, Tick Tock, 4 hours later, a staff from the ICU telephoned us.  Phew!  The operation was a success!  This was the sentence everyone had longed for~  SUCCESS!

The day after, many relatives came.  It is a heartwarming day!  I wondered why are we so ignorant bout our lives and people around us?  They care and Yes, they do!  I guess it is time like this when we slow down our pace, stop, have a look around us and learn to appreciate our lives and people around us.

2005



Our first Christmas party at the Roxy hotel.  Plenty of Alcohol with a complimentary bottle of ice wine from Chucky.  Games were fun and AB was once again our human target.  Everyone was happy with their Xmas present except for Enna, who had received a plastic container of handmade burnt cookies with lots of 'love' from a unwelcomed guest. :)  Thereafter, a string of email war begun.  You would realized that this bunch of kids is full of pride!

2006


Red and Green were the colour for the night!  A good deal from Roxy Hotel - two bedroom service apartment for a junior suite!  In order to further stretched our dollars, roasted chicken were ordered to replace the turkeys.  Everyone got high forcing each other to take turn squeezing into Sylvia's Christmas present - a PINK panty.  hmmm..  or was it the overdose of Mojito drink.

2007


The deal to rent a place for the party just got better as the years gone by.  It's FREE chalet at Downtown East with compliments from Dan. Game masters make the night filled with laughter by, flicks on forehead, human stacko, paper panty superhero, through the long forgotten passing the parcel game.  It ended well with our all time favourite Xia Yan Mao game!

Oh no!  i am missing the office already. Ya right!  that would be the last thing on mind.  Much as everyone love to do with their life.  We plan.  For me, I plan.  I mean I plan for my holidays.  In fact, i had my holidays pre-planned way before the announcement.  Holiday above all! :)  MJ and I had planned to Ko Lanta over the long break.  I just can't wait to wave and say hello to Mister Manta.

After all the unfortunate happenings in the family, I had decided to forgo my plan to Ko Lanta.  Somehow, i felt that the office closure was a blessing in disguise!  I do not have to bury myself in work for the year end close, and I will be able to spend more time with my dad during his operation period. 

It appears to me that God have his plans too!

As my dad is still not in his best shape, I had decided to take MJ's car to ferry him to and from TTSH. Kaoz!  Driving has never been fun for me and i have never enjoy a bit of it.  Stress is the only word that best decribe my feeling each time my hands are on the steering wheels.  With my dad's guidance, we managed to arrive in TTSH on time for the appointment. :)

The Specialist at TTSH is happy with my Dad'a thyroid level. In her profession opinion, Dad will be fit enough for the operation on boxing day. Phew!

It was almost time to fetch MJ from office when i sent Dad home from TTSH.  I exchanged a few sentences with Mum, waved goodbye to little Javier, and left the house. Now, i am all alone in the vehicle.  *sweat*  I turned the engine on, let go the brakes and just when the car moved, a motor cycle came from my right. Opps!  did i say that i forgotten to check my right?  Damn!  the motorcycle swivelled slightly to side and continue the journey. Not to far from where i left, the motorcycle made a stop.

A malay uncle alighted from the bike. I stopped the vehicle and walk towards him.  I did not know what is the protocol for accidents, and initiated to pay for the medical reimbursements.  He shooked his head and told me that he sprained his ankle and some oilment will do.  I was at loss and decided to exchange our telephone numbers.

Upon meeting up with MJ, i told him the story and insisted to make a police report.  We arrived at a police station.  Guess waht? i saw my polytechnic classmate, Alvin.  He explained to me that there is no need for us to make any police report unless the person is injured.  "Injured" in their terms, means that doctor have to certify that the person is unfit to work for 3 days or more.  Besides, traffic accidents falls under Traffic Police jurisdiction.

Chey!  i shdnt had initiated hte reimbursement and exchange of numbers for he didnt look he needs 3 day MC for that. He is not"injured" afterall. Thank god! He did not haunt me after the incident.
