July 16 PersonalityGot to attend a seminar and the speaker asked us a question: how could you descrie yourself?
My immediate pop-up of myself is: friendly, positive, helpful, playful and sunny! haha!
Many people said that i am funny, i dont know whether this is really a compliement. Maybe i would be preceied a bit differnt from other's point of view, but i do have a sunny personality, haha! my lovely friends Jinmin and Miyoun may agree with that. Well, i would be v. charming if i am a guy, i guess, ahahha....pity that i am not a guy, haha. well, somehow i am a bit of full of myself, this is not bad. ho ho ho!
Well, life should be wonderful, and the point is how could you make your own choices!
Today i got tanned again, because i refused to put the sun-screen lotion on my skin, therefore, i am with red nose, red ears and even dark palms. I am such a baka. haha@
Saturday we went for Dragonboat practise, i really enjoyed the break, we swam in the Saikung Ba Sah Wan, the water was clear and weather was cool. finally we also got to play the dragonboat with less fortuned people(with relatively low IQ, mentally ill ), i was feeling quite good that we could help with and gave them encourage for learning dragonboat.
Sunday, we went on diving practice, second time to go on boat dive. yeah "Meet people, go places and do things"
In the morning, i didnt get used to balance the air on my ears, it took a while to get used to it, we saw nemos, quite a lot of fishes and coral reef down to the bottom.
For the afternoon session, after lunch, i felt much more better to apply the skills to stay in the middle of water and balance myself. it was fun! diving principle, relax, breath deeply and slowly, you would enjoy so much under water. It is the sport about fun, just relax.
Back home with great hunger and i ate a lot, we had celebration with Chenny, though it took 1 hour to reserve the seats, but we enjoyed the food and got to finish one bottle of red wine (fruity and smooth Yellow Lable Wolf Bass). Nice! this is why all the diver with big belly. Why do we feel hungry so easily after diving? our skin lost heat very easily from the surrounding cold water, and it is supposed for new diver to learn how to make the movement become comparatively slow in order to lose less heat.
Go dive, eat and sleep - diver's life for boat dive. haha!
July 13 What the hell.haha! today it is funny to gather 6 more people with me and said "shitty" together and yelling for "what the hell is going on?"
Well, things wont go as bad as we think, i hope. but it is always good to share the same feeling within the same group, especially we have that team spirit, haha!
35 emails within a morning. nice! we havent been in such GREAT mood of gossiping again.
FUNNY!
Well, i am sick now. Let's see how is going on for our lunch.
Let it be.
