Just to pass time
I’m tired. Just gone on finsonline to check out the latest gossips. Read thru 2 newer posts “Dr Mike’s quitting the Forum” & “Quality Courses”.

I’m waiting for time to pass before moving my tests to the next step..

Dr Mike’s quitting- something that was previously discussed but still there’s peeps adding their views to it. Nothing too interesting, unless you like to read abt power struggle in words, just like the way kids will fight to be the leader and the other members get upset with the restrictions placed on them.

The other one on “Quality Courses” was quite a read. Well, a member on fins brought in an article saying a person got his/her Divers’ license over a Bali trip with no clear knowledge of diving.
S/He was ensnared by fears of losing visibility and disability to stay calm in face of uncertainty. S/He wasn’t given enough preparation on what to expect hence panicked in situations, and that cause her/him to do dangerous things like shooting up to surface and removing reg UNDER water.

This brings me to think about my open water, which was pretty smooth but I was taught pretty basic thing that got me to be a safe open water diver. Then let’s look at my brothers’ open water course, at the end of their course, controlled mask-removal. In trim and buoyancy, VERY nice!

We have the same instructor which is Hus for them and then-boyfriend for me. We’re so safe and so sleek. Thank you instructor.

Wat's upsetting me?
I woke up feeling down. It’s a Friday. The usual me would be Jubilant, excited and enthusiastic… Nothing like that today.

I was busy with housework and marketing last night. I went home, cook, ran and did marketing at Clementi Central. It’s a good 15-20mins walk from my place. I bought so many things and I walked back despite the load I’m carrying. It’s approximately 8 to 10kg of stuff.

I got home be 9pm and got dinner ready for Hus to be back. He came back and had to go out to pass his colleague the shop’s keys. I thought to myself, “yet another delay”. I still waited for him before we complete the soup (bah kut teh) and fried vege (kailan).

At night, just before we sleep. We chatted for a while. Then he kept quiet to send signals that he’s already asleep such that I wouldn't try talking to him(he has done this umpteen times), I won’t disturb pple’s sleep and suspected sleep. He sleeps with his boaster(dun how to spell it) while I sleep with Higgle. I dun use to have Higgle around since we got married, but I get a “un-needed” a little too much with Hus & boaster. I feel like the “3rd party” on the bed.

There were so many things that went through my mind before I fall asleep, one is that my specialist course is only starting in April 2008. I felt discouraged and impatient. All along I thought was sep 07 latest, blame it on the wrong info fed by Joyce, our HR who has left. BOO! *big sigh*

This morning, I woke up and hugged Hus. He wouldn’t even return a hug. BOO! He just told me about his colleague who wants him to take her for a ride on Mr Superfour. Well, although it’s nothing too big to get sensitive about. It’s not easy not to on a low “boo-ey” day…
