Random Thoughts

I didn't sleep well last night..maybe I was too excited to dive in Bohey Dulang..Not maybe..I was actually very excited..I was the first one who woke up in the morning..Haha, sempat lagi berpoco poco sambil senaman ringan..1, 2,3,4 empat lagi...That was funny, I'm sure, the next door guests pun tebangun juga tu..well, dorang si Tompok juga bah..so teda masalah juga kalau dorang tebangun..

We checked out around 7...It was sad to leave Dragon Inn (hehe), or, it should be called 'drag em in'..coz since it pulls in and spits out the backpackers..anyway, smua kelaparan, so we went to uncle chang's but it was closed..only one restaurant was opened early morning..huhuhu...Kedai melayu, tapi makanan dia sedap..Niceee...

eee..ok la..turus sa cerita la masa mau pi Bohey sudah...Hehehe..Can't wait...we left the jetty around 9 am..Initially, those non divers in our group we supposed to go directly to Mabul, and divers pi Bohey Dulang, but...last2, smua pi Bohey Dulang...Wonderful..See, it has been such a blessing..Kalau nda, we would be separated and that won't be as exciting..

The weather was quite bad..It was drizzling...and of course la bah, I was a bit worried that the rain might cause poor visibility underwater..on the way to Bohey, we saw water spout/twister..? whatever you call it..amazing!!! I've never seen anything like that before..I tried to take pics but..you can only see a straight line..Jauh bah tu..and my lense pun..Kit lense only..Huhuhu...Well, lucky us, Soo has his zoom lense..


Upon arriving Bohey Dulang, we were greeted by Micheal..the friendly dog and its other friend Angelina...(guess who gave them the name? Junior la...but, then..everyone called them Micheal and Angelina...hehehe)...Our divemaster Mr.Sandrix registered our names and then off we go for our first dive..Looking at the crystal clear water, I knew we're gonna have a great dive...

Junior and I did only 2 dives in Bohey..huhu..supposed to be 3 dives but I was really dizzy..I got really bad headache and Junior injured his toe...Damn!!! I can't recall what I saw in Bohey...seriously...Maybe I was concentrating too much on my headache and I didn't quite enjoy the dives in Bohey..but..It was beautiful there..Ow yeah..we saw spotted ray..and lots of fish, some of them were aliens to me...teruk ow, none of us has underwater camera...When the rest went for the last dive, I only snorkeled..that was when I saw turtles...I was excited, I saw two of them...Wow..

After the dives in Bohey, we went back to Semporna to return our gears and take our bags...stayed there for a while and off we go on the boat ride to Mabul..The boat ride took approximately 45 minutes, tapi langsung nda sedar coz, everyone was very excited..especially me...Well, I have been to Mabul before, but not on the island, coz last time we stayed at the oil rig...this time, we stayed at Uncle Chang's backpackers lodge...


Finally we reached Uncle Chang's diving lodge which is built on stilts we were greeted warmly by the staff and all the other guests as well..They were singing the Sipadan song..hey hey hey...(Tu ja sa ingat..ow..la la la la..Baracuda Point not so far away, hey hey...)..Looking at their smiles and happy faces..I felt sooooooo welcomed...of course we were..and I knew, the next couple of days would be filled with lots of fun...

Right after we checked in, put our bags inside our room...(ow, the room is nice and comfortable..perfect..It might not be even 3 stars, but..that's all we need..we were not there for the accommodation anyway...) we had our quick tour around the village..meeting the locals..The ever friendly locals who love the camera very much, and after we take a shot, they will ask to show how they look like on the camera screen..That was a great experience, they are by nature very photogenic...I could still hear 'alo..alo...one more' in my ears..hehe...

Well that night..we had a great dinner..BBQ dinner to be exact..really nice food, and shortly after that the party started..first they played the Sipadan Welcome and Farewell Song...This time they have real set of drums..complete...aside the legendary home made drum they have...and the place was burning..I mean..Imagine yourself in Shen on Friday or Saturday night..yeah..Something like that..Everyone was having fun..we don't need the disco light..we don;t need no DJ..we danced, we sang along with the band, and we got really crazy...Junior and Tompok were the guests singers...Ow yesss baby...We Rocked Mabul...

We realized that some of the guests were from other nearby resorts, they came to Uncle Chang's to party with us...That was a blast..I've never imagine that this trip was gonna be soooooo happening...and ow yeah..Uncle Chang gave us 8 bottles of Rum...crazy man..and we have our Chivas and wine to finish..Oughhh...Imagine la..how oleng2 we were...and Si tompok just don't want to let go of the mic...As time went by, everything seemed be less and less sensical..well, things don't have to make sense all the time bah.. like for instance...

Sabas say : Bagus ow kan Uncle Chang...
Tompok : Iya..sejuk tu kalau kita duduk sana..
????

see...hehehe....That was one of the greatest parties I've ever been...Rocking all night long..ow..until the wee hours..and the song ..Tanggal 31 bulan 8 51..emmm..Yeah 51 aa..hehehehe...Still linger in my head..We slept around 2am, when the band has stopped..and that was the best night sleep ever, I mean..I just closed my eyes and everything just shut down...the next morning we woke up to the sound of Kupi's cock a doodle doo..Very effective ow...hehe...

okay la...now enjoy the pics ya...banyak ni gambar ni..Kalau rasa2 mcm mata mau juling sudah, buli sambung nanti2 lagi, kio...Sepatutnya kamu tengok gambar yg paling last duluan..Termixed up sudah ni..huhu..Anyway..tingu ja la...hehe

I really love this pic...

Cantik kan tu Mabul water village...but, it's tooooo exepensive

Backstreet boys and 2 chicks...hehe

I wonder how would it be without our cameras..
