election daay .... -.-
it's 08.03.08
what a nice date.
it's also election day for Malaysia. Not only that, it's my first day of scuba diving traning. YEAP! This morning we went to Sophiya's house in front of SKBD for confined water preview (??). Mak and Aunty Sabria actually planned for me to take only the first section of confined water preview and that means only one dive when I get to P. Perhentian. I've been protesting that for awhile cause Mak thinks I can't handle the pressure of doing lots of stuff at once. She thinks I'll get tired doing this scuba diving shiyts and handball traning stuffs and probate memorizing things. All that la. I kinda agree on her NOW cus, HELL I am tired.
Anyways, I begged Mak for the last time when she was signing off some papers about my safety, rules and regulation, and coincidencely Abah called from Bangkok. It's like he "KNOWS"... I asked him whether I could do the full course and he said YES! YES!
All Mak did was write the total for 2 bubblemakers (for Arina and Hanna) and one open water course on the blank cheque that Abah had already signed. Lol. After that I had to sign my parts of the forms. I had to read everything on the form. Asked my lots of random questions like "Are you pregnant?". Lol. The scary part was the form stated about the risk of me ending up DEAD. I'm like WHAT THE SHIT! Uncle Ian (will come back to him soon) made me feel more scared by saying "you're actually signing off your life.." WHAT THE HECK!
Uncle Ian is this English man who smokes alot and have a hugh tummy who is one of the Instructor. He is the long lost brother of Simon Cowell. He's not afraid to throw blunt and insulting comments about you IN FRONT and AT you. He's makes me laugh most of the time. Makes everyone laugh too. He's known as the devil by all the kids in the club. Lol :)
He was not my instructor today tho. He was teaching this 23 year old lady who is training to be a dive master. Damn cool, but damn hard looking.
Aunty Sabria (Sophiya's mother) taught me the whole day. The first thing I had to do was swim 200m. I'm like what the shiyts? I haven't been swimming since last year and that showed cause I was merely didn't make it. Lol. Next, float for 10 mins. Lagi laah. Haha, but completed it.
Some of the skills I did today:
Confined water preview 1
-identify all parts of equiptments.
-how to assembly them
-how to breathe underwater.. *that was cool, my first breath underwater*
-what happens if the regulator *the thing you breathe with* comes out of your mouth and how to recover it
-exchanging of regulator with your buddy
-taking out water from your mask.
-diassembling of equiptments
Confined water preview 2
-assembly of equiptments
-buddy check. BWRAF
-that jump you do when standing up from land which I forgot what it's called.
-something swim.. the swim which you do just above below the surface of the water
-5 metre drop (?)
-exchanging of regulator at lower depth
-what's gna happen if the pressure thingy doesn't work and you need to orally blow air at that pressure thing. Lol
-how to exit the water to the boat properly.
I think that was about it. Still have alot more ahead of me.
I'm half regretting that I decided to do the full course. Maybe it's because:
-I have to memorize SO MUCH FREAKING STUFF. Which btw, Am if your reading this, I'll be needing help with that confusing table thing.
-Heidi and Shez called me just now and asked to go out but I can't cause I have another training sessions full day tmr :(
-I am very tired now. I hope I can recover.
-But mainly cause I don't think I have time to go out with friends.
