-- My 1st Leisure Dive~ Wow, underwater world is so wonderful ^^ ... And I saw a medium size SHARK!! HAHAH~!!


Night... No electricity suddenly...wtf...And those bugger took almost whole night fixing it... And we?? Terpaksa feed mosquitoes out there, since it's too hot staying in the room...
Well, you know, Malaysia's mosquitoes....Fierce like ciaoz >.<"...

--Recall back when I was in NTU, School of Biological Science, doing my last experiment. Same thing happened, the electricity jump off just out of a sudden. The differences are that, the backup motor run on immediately, supporting those backup-bulb. And, the technicians appeared not 10minite after that, and everything return to normal 15minutes later....
What a difference!!
