Once again, the mighty spartan is back, to blog about his trip to tioman, Malaysia (Truly asia). Well, i have to admit, i was pretty much excited even before the trip started, haha, i went wiki-ing tioman. Guess what i found out, its suppose to be the top 10 most beautiful places in the world according to TIMES magazine(How reliable? i dunno) . Anyway after the trip, yes i can say its really beautiful, except that we were greeted with cow shit every morning, LITERALLY. well thats cause, we stayed in these huts (which was due to unforseen circumstances, coz all their NICE-resorts were booked, so we had to settle for that. :( despite the poor conditions, battling with a scorpian in my toilet, showering with cold water(i mean REALLY cold), sleeping on a bed with crappy springs (and getting poked by the springs in the middle of the night) and many more, IT WAS STILL FANTASTIC, cause the food, the frens, and of course THE DIVE!!! ZOMG. IT MADE UP for it.... 
view of the beach from one of the "hawkers"
Jiayi and aloysious
the beautiful waters
haha, aparently this fish which looks like a pomfret kept following us around the dive, it was damn cute la.
The legendary seal team 6 (jia yi, alex, nicolette, choon hong, aloysious and myself)
A bunch of half naked guys and 1 girl
sharks, i can't recall this dudes name, lets call him choon hong 2, for obvious reasons. well on the trip he had so much similarties with choon hong, so much so that on the last day, choon hong even mistook his bag for his. They looked alike, have the same bad boy seh, skinny and tall, talk alike, same style etc. u get the picture dun u.
The legendary seal team 6 in their BCD and other gears
Haha, everyone is distracted, well thats cause the bottom of the sea bed was littered with sea urchins (incase you have no idea wads an sea urchin, well its something like a black soccer ball with spikes, and i really mean spikes, really long spikes), it was indeed freaky, after all, we managed to get our photos taken under water, haha, they won't call us seal team 6 for nothing right?
The curious "pomfret" (actually its not a pomfret, its really much larger than a pomfret, i'm just calling it a pomfret cause i dunno what to call it)
The shagged out seal team 6 after 3 dives
Our dive masters leading us on.
The errie eel hiding under a rock.
alex and his gf , well for them to get down to the bottom is really a miracle. For alex, he has a major problem equalizing, so much so that he even started nose-bleeding, while his gf had problems getting down (either too light or too heavy) , not forgetting equalizing problems as well haha..
Ready to lock and load.
aloysious with the, 'i can't wait to get into the water' look
Alex: what cha looking at? i'm ain't no dog, i'm ur cat.. meow!
somehow this picture looks abit wrong, i think i'll leave the captions out
Your probably looking at the underwater "Bedok central" .
I dunno about you, but i have this werid fetish, well i get this urge to push people off the ledge and into the sea when they sit like how he sits..
alex and this old man
me, jiayi and nicolette
the ball to the top of the sea
i have no idea what this is
looks like we're playing billi-ban-ja underwater
The dive instructor, oh yeah.. speaking of that, in the diving hierarchy, the dive instructor is of greater level as compared to a dive master. But i think a dive master sounds way cooler than a dive instructor. It sounds like a jedi master and we are probably the young padawans... zomg, i shall take my advance diving cert to become the jedi warrior i was born to be!
Half the time under water we have no idea what the other guy is saying, 
Well, thats all, on our way back to mainland by taking the speed boat :(

Half the time under water we have no idea what the other guy is saying, usually a conversation using handsignals goes something like that under water:
GuyA: Decent (means going down to the bottom of the sea bed)
Guy B : okay
Guy A: I need you to grab this line
Guy B: okay
Guy A: I need you to remove and wash your goggles.
Guy B : okay
*guy B starts doing some random thing and starts pointing at a random fish
*Guy A looks
Guy A: !?!
GuyB: ????
Guy A: ???? wth u doing?
Guy B: ???
Guy A: Remove your goggles !
Guy B: okay
*guy B starts pointing at another fish behind guy A
Guy A: Remove your goggles !
Guy B: okay
*guy B starts pointing at another fish behind guy A
Guy A: wth u doing?!
Guy B: ????
Guy a: ????
Well, thats all, on our way back to mainland by taking the speed boat :(
