Indescribable beauty

.Angel and I at Sipadan Water Village's dining lounge - BBQ night.
.Haggard is how you look after being underwater for 5 hours.


Hello from Paradise on Earth,

It's absolutely beautiful here. Yes, they have internet access out here in the middle of the sea lol and the router is just under my room. I've so many stories to share yet such little time at hand. We've clocked 13 dives since the afternoon we arrived on Thursday. Today, we woke up at 4.30am to catch the bumphead parrotfish at sunrise. In this entire year, i've never had a reason to wake up so early, and it was well worth crawling out of bed in the dark. We went on a 30 minute boatride to Barracuda Point at Sipadan, cruising under a full-moon... cruising beside a lemony-orange horizon. We arrived slightly after the Bumpheads have woken, we got lucky!! :) The sight and size of them really left me dumbfounded. Totally drowned in awe and wonder, i fumbled for my camera and managed to get a few shots. What's great is Andy from Scubazoo filmed our entire dive, so i have more than just memories and pictures alone to keep.


.Amazing bumphead parrotfish.

Our dive-in time today are 6.00am, 8.00am, 11.00am, 2.30pm and 5.00pm.. 5 friggin' dives, each dive amounted close to 1 hr or more. We've already been labelled crazy/hardcore divers here.. they just dont understand, we simply wanna make full use of our time. : ) At the end of the day, i feel like i'm floating on air.. and in the middle of dinner, i would tell Angel "gawd, i feel like i'm elevating off my seat" Muhuuhuu. Then we realised it must be the excessive nitrogen escaping from our body.

It's 12.11am now and i'm calling it a day.

2 more days left... and i've fallen in love with this island.

2 more days left... and it simply isnt enough. sigh.

Hopefully in my next post, i can blog about fish porn. So wish me luck!
