Scuba Diving

Around 2 months ago, my buddies and I went to Lang Tengah Island to get our open water diving license. You all must be wondering~~ Why Lang Tengah?? And where the hell is the place? You should just go to Redang or Perhentian ma~~

Actually, I have been to the two islands before. But it was just pure snorkelling trip. I didn't go for diving. But, we chose Lang Tengah because it is cheaper than other places(we are poor-ass students la~~). After getting our license, we can just go to anywhere to dive. Not only Redang, Sipadan even Gold Coast, Great Barrier Reef as well..

Anyway, these are my dive buddies.. The first one, Kenn, the idiot.. He was there to get his advance diving license. He got his open water license a year ago.. Can read his blog as well about him showing off his advance license.. Grr..

Then, Kien Yee, one of my bestie, the future dentist(I will be having free treatment from him, hoho)..

Then, Aaron, the bloody guy.. I call him the bloody guy because after the forth dive, he actually had nose bleed and eyes bleed. There are some photos in his blog about eye bleed. It's kindof geli-ish to see.. And he was my dive buddy as we need to go down in pairs and take good care of each other.

And the gang..

This is my diving sifu, Ah Tee.. A funny guy and he told us many funny diving stories.

Here are some photos in the water. I was wearing a white mask and a pair of light blue fins(fcuk the fins, darn low-quality one).

Then after finished our lessons, which were 4 shore dives & 4 boat dives and learnt all the necessary skills like prepare our equipments, breathing control and buoyancy control, all of us went to have fun with our obssesion, which is 'Ball'.

We did some stunts and had a lot of fun on the last day.

Below are two photos, they are quite similar but I found it very funny.. Haha.. Let the photos do the talking.. Hahahahahahahahahhahahahaha..

And then, our beloved friend, Kenn played with a sea cucumber.. Well well, compensation of having a short dick. Suits him well.. Haha..

And I can't stop laughing when I see the picture below. Hahahahahaha, this guy is hilarious right??

At night, we found some plankton on the shore. Apparently, when we touches it, it will shine in blue but can only last for a few seconds. It reminds me of the 'Blue sand', something similar with this where we found at Redang Island.

After having some alcohol, we need to reply call of nature. Well, the most natural toilet in the world is none other than the sea. Hehe.. We were still sober but Kenn was having sugar rush, as usual.. Haha..

Finally, after waited for a month, the real license arrived. Hoho.. Let me present you my open water diving license.. Hoho..


P/s: There was a time when sex was safe and diving is dangerous.. What an enlightenment~~

Unbelievable~~

A friend from a local college asked for my help today. She needs to prepare a speech for her public speaking assignment. The title is

Students are required to present a persuasive speech on topic of sex or violent influence in the mass media.

When I saw the topic, I was like 'Huh??".. 'What is that??'..

I tried to figure out what the title is about but I was not sure about it. Thus I asked Kenn.

JJTan
do u understand this whole thing?
JJTan
i don really understand..
JJTan
gt grammatical errors rite??
Kenn
not really
Kenn
just that they put it in a kinda....er hard to understand way
Kenn
it means u have to write a persuasive speech
JJTan
it means influence of mass medis in the related topics?
Kenn
persuade ppl to believe/ or u give examples of how contents of the media mass influences sex and violence
Kenn
erm the sentence does have a little grammatical error here and there...

I agree with him and told my friend what the question wants. Then she told me, according to the lecturer's explaination, 'mass media uses sex and violence related topics to attract readers nowadays, state your arguement'. When I heard that, I stunned. The question and the lecturer's explaination are totally different.. According to the explaination, I believe the question should be something like this.

Mass media is using sex and violence related stuffs to attract readers. Prepare a speech and state your arguement.

Unbelievable.. His england is unbelievable.. How can a person like that became a tutor?? A public speaking tutor summore?? What's wrong with the academic personnel department of that college located at Cheras?? Sigh~~ Speechless I am..

A job I would recommend

I went back to the place where I worked previously to settle some things today. When I stepped into the school compound, I stumbled. What should I do when the pupils call me? What should I answer when they ask where I have been? Sigh~~

Although being a teacher is troublesome, hell loads of work, never-ending books to be marked, excessive reports and being bullied by some teachers, still, I kindof love the job.

It feels great when the pupils call me Teacher Tan, Cikgu Tan, Mr. Tan or mostly 陈老师. Whenever I walk pass the classrooms, or anywhere, there will be pupils calling my name and trying to 'manja-manja' with me. Sometimes, I even play with them, make them run around like mad cows. The feeling is so undescribably great. During Teacher's Day, the feeling was so phenomenal when the pupils actually made me some cards and some even gave me some presents. I felt appreciated. Kids are monsters, they can make you angry yet at the same time, you feel sweet in heart.

But too bad, whenever I feel pressured, stressed or in a bad mood, I will kacau my pupils. They don't really dare to talk to me when that happens. Well, undeniable, sometimes(only), I use caning to release some of the stress. Pity them, haha.. But most of the time, I play with them. Hehe-haha here and there. Seriously, I like to have conversation with them and get to know them.

I just love kids, probably due to the paedophile-ness in me. Only if I can have my own kids without needing me to be responsible to the mom of them. I am way too young to get married.

But sadly to say, teaching is not a job for me. The salary is way too little. I need hell a lot of money to carry out my plans and dreams. Only if Malaysia is some countries like Japan where they give a lot of financial support to the teachers. In Japan, they need to sit for exams in order to be a teacher whereas in Malaysia, to be honest, most of the teachers suck in their studies, be it in uni or in secondary school. They became teachers mostly because they do not have much choice, especially primary school teachers. They might seem knowledgeable but many teachers in my school can't even speak normal english and some of them even use broken BM. It's a sad truth.

Anyway, if anyone of you are trying to get a job, added on that you like kids, I would recommend you to be a teacher. It's a good experience and the paid is quite good for a part-time job with excessive leisure and entertainment. Haha..
