Tioman

Yes,it's a trip to Tioman last wk for me again,this time a 4D 3N trip.After since the incident on the shuttle boat which caused 2 or 3 deaths,the ferry was much more cautious with a manifest with our names. Went with my aunt,dad,brother,little cousin n ah ma.Tioman has changed a lot,with more stalls being set up,roads paved.Yea,talking abt road,I drove from Johor to Mersing...138km hor,ahaha..is nt abt the distance actually,it's tat the road are so curvy left n right.1 qian pian question,hw many turns are there from Johor to Mersing,answer right below...
Went boat outing,nt much changes,however,corals maybe due to inexperienced divers appears to be spoil to a small extend,drift was exceptionally strong,making snorkelling a bit headache..Went fishing the next day on a boat,current this time was exceptionally strong.and when the current is strong,the boat doesnt moves,it rocks...ur stomach starts to churn..and out came breakfast and a bit of last nite supper n beer.Used hand reel line to fish using squids as bait,my aunt gt at least 20 of the fishes,is light red in color,forgot the name n 2 or 3 ang kor li..while unlucky me n bro managed only 2..Went to this waterfall tat I never been to,at a fairly deserted jetty,tracked ard 30 mins b4 reaching,the waterfall was spectacular,think a pic says a thousand words..no pic nw,will try to post the link..
A new duty free shop had opened at a spot near the mnarine park,saw a gigantic chivas...look at the pic which i will post..

There are........2 turns to Mersing.......Left n right..haha

Bridging classes has started,on offs nw so has nt been so tired...will see when camp resume.Moreover,my maths n econs lecturers r 2 funny guys..esp my econs lect,joking with a serious face,doesnt laughs...tats the ultimate of a joke..haha.

Running quite a bit the past few days,between 4-5 km each time,longest ran is 45 min non stop with kian n Kia lip,Looks like the target of completing the half marathon is closer to realisation..ard 1mth n 20 days to go,next target will be to run non-stop for 1 hour...no matter the speed.

This Euro cup has been fairly exciting,with Portugal knocked out by Germans and the dutch by arshavin n gang,fairly surprising.Watched Spain n Russia last nite,Torres had a lousy game,missing plenty of chances,while inestia n juan ramos were the engine behind spain.Puyol commanded the defence well.Credit to Russia to making it this far..their coach,Gus is still amazing for bringing them so far.

This has been an exceptionally long entry,because I have not blog in how many donkey weeks..

Will try to post the link soon for my pics.

SIM has yet to reply me for my request on the changes of my timing classes,frustrating.

Went for a run with HZ yesterday,the 1st since the wisdom tooth extraction,felt very comfortable running. The new Nike Air zoom structure feels comfortable but it's heel was a mere too high,which makes lifting up a bit tiedious but overall it is quite a good shoe. Was thinking between Asics n this pair but gave up after tat asics pair din had my size after gg down to queensway twice. I think it has smthg to do with brand loyalty as my previous pair was a Nike too.

Went down with my dad to his wheelchair basketball practise on sat,saw quite a few familiar faces which i did recognised.Perhaps it's their jovial and sporty character,time n age seem to have not taka a toil on their faces.Played a mini game with them,and dudes...it is really tiring...haha,wheeling frm 1 end to another...getting into formation b4 the other team gets to you..The pt where u try to shoots is tough as u are at a lower height,bt my bro was able to got one in..haha..Fun game..

Gonna go for my extraction for the stiches inside my mouth.
