Finally got the chance..


... to blog!

Right at this very moment I'm browsing through the newly developed photos from the underwater camera we brought to Tioman. You'll have to wait some more for the pictures, cuz' I'll have to scan them in one by one.

Anyway, you wouldn't believe how beautiful the scenery in Tioman is. The photos I brought back doesn't do it justice. Imagine waking up in the morning and the first thing you see is the endless sea, up to the point where the sky touches the sea.

Every morning as you stand in the balcony feeling the wind on your face, you'll see that to the East is a lighthouse on a bay, meant to guide the small boats around that area. To the west is a tiny part of the island, but in that tiny part you can already see mountains and forested area. Straight ahead is the jetty, and if you're lucky you'd catch a couple of divers already up and preparing for their underwater escapade.

Periwinkles and kittens scatter throughout the island. Yea, you heard me right. Periwinkles and kittens.

And when you travel around on a tiny fishing boat, it looks as if dolphins are jumping in the far, far distance. The water is so clear that you can see the bottom at every single jetty on the island. Visibility for divers and snorkellers on a sunny day is far, far away.

It's an awesome place.

Back to the present, something weird happened a few days ago.

These are my hermit crabs.

I have four of them, and one fine morning my sister asked me to count them.

"Eh, how come left three?"

Then she pointed at the side of the altar.

What the...?

How did it get there? It's nowhere near the tank, there're no wires or anything for it to climb up with, and of all places, the ALTAR?!

This should be the journey it took.

Can somebody please explain?

Things have been great for me and Lazychoo since I got back from Tioman. Lazychoo's been so sweet to me and we've been enjoying each other's company since. We're entering a period of bliss now, and I do so hope it lasts.

Depression has lifted, although my chest has been hurting like mad. I'm kinda' worried; I don't want to see a doctor until I got my life insurance covered.

Regarding my blog post made directly before I went to Tioman. There have been people expressing their concerns for me, and I appreciate that. Thank you guys.

Then there have been people who were jealous, who prefer to remain anonymous to protect their immaturity level in my comments section.

Then, the worst, there have been people in WLNY whom I hardly know trying to scold me, using the tone Mr. Anonymous used. Like hello? Do I even know you? Did I give you the right to scold me? Who are you to me? I can just delete your message with just a click and you'll never hear from me again. *click*

To the morons in WLNY: For the last time, READ MY PROFILE. I don't add people whom I don't know well or personally in msn. IF and WHEN any of you ask me for my msn address again, I'm going to start flaming people.

IF and WHEN I add you, do NOT ask me TOTAL RUBBISH such as "schooling or working? u how old? what's your name? stay where?" or prepare to get flamed and blocked. You will get to know me better through foruming, or daily msn-ing (if we have a common topic to talk about, so to speak) and NOT asking rubbish questions.

It's okay to be straightforward, it's a free country. But remember: like you are entitled to straightfoward-ness, I am entitled to accept/not accept your comments. Like you are entitled to post your opinions on the forum, I am also entitled to shoot you down with my opinions. Understand?

Gawd, some people are dumb.

Jasmine.. hermit crabs can really climb for nuts, they have extremely strong legs that can cling to almost any surfaces, not to mention they climb almost every live rock with different terrane in the ocean. So if you are keeping hermit crabs under captive, please use something to cover up your tank, preferbly something heavy enough to out weight them.
