Hello Sipadan

In the past 3 months, it seems like I let go of a different lifetime that I lived in and then stumbled onto a new life in which I find happiness and... contentment.

Who knows how long this feeling will last but this is not a post to contemplate the what ifs.

So I went to Bali earlier this year (which ok, fine is not too long ago and only just in end Jan), where it felt like I set myself free (omg I am so dumb'ing down the English Language now...!! Inside joke, sorry)... liberated... It was a great bonding session with my decade-long friends.

And then I decided, it's time to start on that long list of resolutions that I want to do before I die. Hey, one's never too young to start on that list ya...

So one of the things on this list is to get my PADI Diving Certification, and DIVE. Yes.

I'll been planning this (rather half-heartedly) for years now. And it's just that, there were always better places to go, easier places to go to, more safe things to do, and so on and on and on.

But hey, I think it's fate that the "Diving Experience" is going to take place soon.

And it will be at Sipadan Island - a place rated by many dive journals as one of the top dive destinations in the world! It is 600 metres above the seabed. I wonder how deep that is. Will it be scary?

I've snorkeled and swam in Oceans heaps before but I was always at the surface and could always see the seabed from where I am (floating/paddling..haha!)...

So yea, diving's going to be interesting.

I'll be logging all my research in upcoming entries. So keep a lookout!! Meanwhile, you guys can just enjoy the some of these wonderful images I grabbed off the internet to have a feel of how beautiful the marine life at Sipadan is.


Hundreds of Barracudas at the Barracuda Point



Been told that I will definitely see heaps of turtles! Especially the green and hawksbill sea turtles which mate and nest there! :)

Here's a video of what to expect when diving at Sipadan!
