因为陌生,所以勇敢。因为距离,所以美丽


我的处女作。。。认识我的人会很好奇, 什么启发我写Blog?? 而且还是中文版。 他是我高中毕业后就读第一所学院的同学, 读了他的Blog之后, 让我体会到中文是我们的母语, 千万不可以忘记。 也让我明白原来能将我们生活的一点一滴拿出来与认识我们的人分享,尤其如果有朝一日, 我突然失去脑中的记忆,但 至少还有个地方记载我生命中的精彩,其实还不赖。

“陌生”这个词对我来说真的很陌生。。 梦想尤其更是陌生。。 没想过活了二十六年竟然让我踏出勇敢的第一步,迈向我梦寐以求的潜水生涯。 潜水让我克服重重困难,惧高,惧深,惧海。。梦让我学会勇敢, 勇敢的踏出不同的第一步及每一步。 如今的我唯有在那深不见底的海洋, 找到我的灵魂, 找到属于我的梦想; 在那白细的沙滩上, 艳阳光下, 一望无际的碧海蓝天, 找到没有任何烦恼的天堂。Scuba Diving is my soul~ the paradise I can find~ my achievements~ the only dedication in my life~

相信我, 如果你已经克服了你最大的弱点, 那将很难会有什么事情是不能面对, 或者你做不到的, 生命也只不过是如此而已。要记住,别让你的生命里抱着遗憾, 想做就去做。 Live your life with no regrets 。。我的座右铭

勇敢对我来说比死来的简单。我很好奇有些人与其有勇气寻死,却没勇气活下去。要知道有多少在生命边缘挣扎的人,努力呼吸着只为了多活一天。 世间万物的求生毅志怎可以轻易的被挫折打败?上天要我们经过不同的磨练,放才能变得更坚强,变得更能人所不能。 之所以这样我今天还活着,活得好好的,活得比以前更好,而且还要活出灿烂的人生。

距离,让我学会懂得“珍惜”。珍惜生命,珍惜身边的朋友,家人,以及生活中的每一点每一滴。“珍惜”这两个字听起来很简单,但是有多少个人能做得到?过去的爱情让我了解, 男人口中的所谓“珍惜”也只不过是所说说而已。 在面对外界的多种诱惑,难道他真的能珍惜那曾经与他们共同进退,背后默默为他们撑着的人吗?他怎可能记得说过永远的爱我? 守候的结果,换来的却是无情的背叛。 无须苦苦强求,唯有带着破碎的心情离开。以前的那一句话已是我心中的伤口, 过了好久好久没人记得当初的那些温柔, 我和你手牵手说要一起走到最后。如果爱不曾来过,如果梦不曾碎过,如果心不曾疼过,那么我,是否还是你认识的我?今生,我们爱了,爱也走了。来生, 你是你,我是我,即使梦中遇见了,笑笑,然后擦肩而过。

爱来过,也走过,痴过也恨过,伤过才会懂,一切皆是错。泪干了,心也平静了,带着微笑再重新来过,人往往活得比男人坚强。 但是再怎么坚强的人,总有寂寞的时侯,终须要一个可以依靠的避风港。残缺的回忆 并没让我放弃追寻, 寻找属于我的那一个人。我始终相信, 该来的总会来, 该走的怎么留也留不住。也许有如句俗语:众里寻它千百度,蓦然回首,那人却在灯火阑珊处。让懂你的人爱你, 重选一份值得坚持的感情,爱只要一点点冲动就可以,了解却少些默契都不行。

距离,让我看到许许多多的美丽。 家,朋友,甚至敌人。以前的执著变成懂得学会如何放手;放心;放开;懂得放手,人生就会有桃花源。不仅如此, 从来不怎么重视家的我如今却是体会到外面的高床软枕,比也比不上家里的狗窝; 外面的鲍参翅燕, 不比妈妈的家常便饭来得香。每每回到家里, 总是有股冲动想要让妈妈抱在怀里安睡的感觉,如果让很认识我的朋友知道我有这股冲动的话, 肯定以为我烧坏了脑或是世界末日即将来临。然而,还是想说这是千真万确的。 看来还真是要感谢自己有离开家的梦, 感谢这份能让我离开家的工作, 感谢上天给机会让我明瞭 这不算太迟才体会的道理, 感谢我的一班‘猪朋狗友’,即使再忙再久失去联络, 却永远记得我的人。

美丽在不同人的心中有着不同的定义, 对我来说,美丽就是当你将最真的自己表现出来, 用真诚的心对待别人, 内在的美自然美丽。再美的人和事物都有老化的一天, 唯有内在不会随着岁月而老去。 美丽和魅力对我的定义就是,当一个男人全心投入工作时的热诚, 或是穿着围裙在厨房准备早餐的背影,最吸引我这种天生浪漫主义者*.*

距离对我来说很近,感觉对你来说很远;两颗在十字路口流连忘返的星星会在某一天相遇吗?

It's Started 我的潜水录 I -Open Water

我和我的潜水好友Toon。My very best dive buddy Toon.

2006年9月,我们决定尝试不一样的挑战。刚开始练习潜水时可以说是困难重重,除了要上潜水课以外最令我害怕的是要在15尺深的游泳池实习以潜水装备跳水。这是因为我本身除了有惟高以外,对于比较深的水池也不太有安全感,更何况穿起了那身蛮重的潜水装备简直就是行动非常不便。虽然如此,我还是咬紧牙关服从教练的命令尽量把因该学习的部分练习及做好(当然少不了挨骂)。可是种种挫折并没有让我放弃,相反的我非常珍惜每一次的操练,那是因为我明白如果我没认真学习的话可能日后会导致不必要的危险,因为潜水是在几十尺,甚至几百尺的深海活动,危险性是高得不可忽略的。而且我也不希望到时在深海考取潜水执照时会落空,潜水不仅是具有极高挑战性的运动且消费也并不便宜。

September 2006, we decided to challenge something new in life. In the beginning of scuba diving course it's really full of obstacles to me. Besides the theory class, the challenging part is the practical training at 15 feet deep swimming pool. Myself have pretty much phobia to deeper water and as well as height cause it's quiet hard to make further steps with scuba equipment, thus I'm hesitate to step into the water during practicing "entering" the water in the beginning. However,i treasured each and every training sessions so that is why i have to grit my teeth and persevere till the trainings end. I knew it very well that scuba diving is an activity that involved high risk which might endanger a diver's life if the knowledge and skills required are not fully take into precaution. Scuba diving is also an activity that carry out under deep sea, thus i feel that a responsible diver should take it seriously towards self and buddy's safety apart from enjoying the dives. Furthermore, i don't allow myself to fail during the open water test, is an expensive hobby indeed.

2007年3月30日,终于出发到大马东海岸丁加奴准备隔天到Pulau Perhentian考取潜水执照。当时的心情七上八下的好紧张,心理负担还蛮重的。丰富的海鲜晚餐并没能舒暖我所承受的压力,唯有早些休息尽量不去想太多的无谓。
30th March 09, Finally departing to east coast Malaysia Terengganu state for our open water test, it was about 7 hours drive from Penang to the destination and we stayed a night at the mainland preparing for departing to Perhentian Island next day morning. We were pretty excited, curios and worried about the activities that we going to do tomorrow. This was the very first experience for few of us in the group of taking the Scuba School Internationl diving open water license. Without thinking too much unnecessary, i went to sleep a while after the seafood dinner.



2007年3月31日 清晨吃完早点 后便开始迁移我们的装备和行李到船上出发到Perhentian 小岛。我们将会在到达目的地途中在 Rawa Reef 做第一个潜叫做 check out dive。Check Out Dive 通常不会太深也不会太难,那是给潜水员们调整水底浮力和适应。由于我们租用的渔船并不是设计给潜水活动的所以唯一能下水的地方就是它的船头,距离海面大约3-4尺高而正刚好是我最大的弱点,不过我还是不顾一切跳下去。

当每位团员聚在一起以后便开始潜下海底,当时的感觉实在难以言喻,七上八下的不知怎么办而且我们也忙着调理浮力,避免和珊瑚还有队员相撞.可是不管怎么努力我们还是像刚学走路的小孩一样在水中横冲直撞.而我也发生了一些小意外,起初原以为太紧张的关系才导致呼吸有些不顺畅,但当我检查氧气计量器时可真是吓得一大跳,因为计量器的针跳动不寻常而我又不明白是怎么一回事,所以只好赶快游到教练身边让他看我的计量器。原来是我的氧气并没完全开启,真是的,当然又免不了教练的训话因为这是不可犯的错误.


到达Perhentian岛,分配好房间后便是午餐和小休时刻,大约2点钟又继续第2和第3个潜水在 Sail Rocks 和 Sebelia Rocks。大致上也没什么意外只是浮力还不是控制得很好,所以我和好友尽量与其他团员保持一点距离,因为当中也有好几个也是和我们一样没有经验,不是我们去撞他们就是给他们踢到,真狼狈.我们的考试除了要控制浮力以外,还有就是要在水里脱掉潜水镜又穿回后将里面的水清除,拿开呼吸器又带上等等,而我也庆辛自己没再出错。晚餐后的自由活动时间,我只想静静的躺在白细的沙滩上欣赏漂亮的满天星空,聆听海浪涌向沙滩的声音,在人烟稀少的地方寻找一点宁静。
难得能脱离繁忙的工作岗位,当然是要好好的享受这偷来的休闲。耗不了多久就得上床休息因为明早又是一个劳碌天,我们必须很早起床再出海潜水。


31st March 2009, Early morning after breakfast, we started to transfer our stuff to our "dive boat", well it doesn't really considered as a dive boat but more like a fishing boat. On the way to Perhentian Island, we're going to do a check out dive at Rawa reef. Check out dive is normally the first dive, for divers to adjust their buoyancy, getting used in underwater and it's usually not deep (around 60 feet) at dive sites with less challenges.
Again,i found it scary to entering water from the front cause it was like 3-4 feet from the surface but i still managed to do it without hesitation (yeah, i did it!). We went down together once everyone entered the water,i was really nervous during descending to the bottom, we were busy adjusting our buoyancy and the skill. Nevertheless, we were banging each other and the hard corals though we tried not to and avoid it. It's really funny when we recap the moments, other than that i encountered a minor accident whereby my breathing through the regulator is abnormal, at first i thought it might be due to too nervous and panic but when i checked out my air gauge, the needle was moving irregularly that i don't understand what's happening. I therefor swim towards my instructor and showed him my air gauge, he stare at me for a second then he helped me to twist my air opener, alright it's because my air didn't completely open and this is such an unacceptable mistake for a diver during buddy check before go diving.
After the dive, we had lunch in Perhentian Island and rest for a while after settle down our stuff in the room,we went for 2nd and 3rd dives again at
Sail Rocks & Sebelia Rocks around 2pm. We getting used to entering water and a bit organized during the dives, me and Toon tried to stay a distance from other divers as not only us that banging other people but others also kicking us sometimes unintentionally. The open water test not only on our self buoyancy control, we need to do mask clearing underwater, remove and put back our regulator and i'm glad i did it ok. At night after dinner, me and my buddy were laying on the crystal clear sands beach watching stars, beers, and chatting while enjoying the silent night with only the melody of the waves pushing sands. It was such a great moment when we stay apart not to thinking of how hectic at work and steal the time just relaxing at the beach. We went to rest after a few beers and preparing for tomorrow dives.



200741清晨早餐后便收拾行李准备出发。我们将在回去陆地途中在Twin Rocks Susu Dara Pinnacles完成最后两个潜水才算合格。虽然我的浮力还不算称得上很好,但至少我已经能够欣赏海底世界的美。 第一次看见镇真正的活珊瑚,第一次接触电影"Finding Nemo"里的小丑鱼,第一次看见鱼儿交配,第一次看见小鲨鱼,第一次体会到原来能随心所欲的在海地遨游是件多么快乐的事。我们考试里的最后一个项目便是我们将会经过海底里的一个小山洞,在穿越过去时必须顺利通过,如果任何一个潜水员的氧气筒不小心被卡住的话那考试便会宣告失败.
还好,我并没让自己失望,当能够成功穿越过去时真的好有满足感,活了那么多年终于感觉到我真的是没有白活了。然后教练便在船上宣布每位考员过关经,过了这一次,我更下定决心要继续追求我的潜水梦想,永不放弃!

1st April 2009, Early morning after breakfast, we packed our luggage and get everything transferred to the boat. While sailing back to the mainland, we will be doing last 2 dives at Twin Rocks and Susu Dara Pinnacles in order to complete total 5 dives to pass the practical test. Although my buoyancy is not considered good, but at least I’m able to start enjoying the scene and beauty of underwater world.
My first time seeing life corals, my first time touching the clown fish as in "Finding Nemo" movie, my first time watching fishes mating underwater, my first time seeing a baby nurse sharkm and first time i realized that how amazing it is to swim underwater freely. The last part to be done in our practical is that every diver will have to pass through a small cave at Susu Dara Pinnacles and if anyone's tank get stuck when passing through, he will considered to fail the test. I'm glad that i made it and didn't disappoint myself in any cause. It was very satisfying when we all can successfully go through and thus when we all get back to the boat after the last dive, our instructor announced that everyone of us has passed in our open water test. Yes! We are a qualified Open Water diver now :). I will never give up in scuba diving and will pursuing my hobby until the end of my life.
