on bali, diving and car rides.

2nd night in bali but felt like I have been here for more than that. Spend the first night in Sanur, accomodation was about 35sgd per pax. Nice and cosy enough with a delightful French owner. Went to their night market to tabao back some dinner after booking our tours.

The place looks and feel even more laid back then krabi but their people is as nice, if not better.

It's interesting to talk to people when we start off on the same topic then each went each way and leaving each other to laugh. Then we say good day and good bye. No strings attached.

Went diving early today with the intention of swimming with mola mola but was not lucky enough. But some mantas decided to show themselves over our head. Again and again. Everytime the divemaster points up, I will look up, hold my breath and say a silent "wah......" while the mantas glide past, oblivious to the tens of divers underneath. I'm sure most were holding their breath or letting go in small breath in case the bubbles deter the mantas from gliding over. Loving diving still.

Den we went down towards the sea bed and I could see nothin but sand, dull corals and some fishy. Until my fm picked up a metal stick and tap on some sand. Woosh.. check up that hidden stingray getting away in fright. Reminded me of darcy when I will purposely slap his butt when he's sleeping with his face facing away from me. Haha. So fun. I saw a few more rays trying to camouflage themselves, unsuccessful. All the while shivering in my wet suit. My goodness. It was 20 degrees in the water.

After we surface and went back on the boat, I was shivering very badly until the kind Holland 叔叔 handed me his towel. Den I felt better. I sleep up my 2nd dive as I really couldn't take it and I was feeling super tired. I heard from the dm that it was due to my body losing too much heat. Anyway, I slept. I reckon I was and still is very tired from work, short sleeping hours and heat loss.

Took a pre-arranged transport to Amed. Took us about 2hrs to reach this supposedly sleepy fishing village but is slowly becoming another tourist attraction.

Now, after dinner and showering under the stars (which is not such a good idea when the cold breeze blows), waiting for the hair to dry while listening to the waves falling onto shore and checking out the blinks blinks hanging in the skies. Will I be able to own a house like this next time?

Diving tmr@ 8am. Wish my luck for my sunrise quest tmr.

Goodbye 27!
