昨日和準備去詩巴丹的朋友通電, 他說要努力静静地儲錢, 要閉關起兩個月, 因為去詩巴丹的旅費不平宜! 富貴教練怕住地獄, 無辦法啦! 
那套潛水用品又真的價錢不菲? 老友就話, 如果全Resort團, 價錢太厲害了! 
我同意, 於是平均各方, 選了
天堂、
地獄之旅, 
又可以有機會住天堂, 又可以住地獄, 人是這樣的, 如果無天堂、地獄之分, 你就不會懂珍惜? 况且地獄戰神呢 d 儍人, 去到地獄, 隨時仲 free d, 你估佢會否又帶給你一些永不磨滅的古怪回憶? 答案絕對肯定! 
我上次去菲律賓潛水就覺拿太多東西了, 我地係 「瀟灑哥」嚟嗎? 今次一定兩手Fing Fing去的? 
不過想想吓! 這幾年南征北伐, 係喎? 
其實我都染上世紀絕症, 「荷包干硬化」
和「急性發錢寒」 等兩大絕症, 加上爸爸在我未出娘胎前已經知我一定喜歡日本這地方, 為了我行走日本時方便, 就為我多改了一個日本名字, 「長崎良美」和「根本莫財」
, 想吓想吓……. 有句口號好鬼適合我? 飛得越高、去得越遠、死得越快……哈哈!
去遠d, 洗多d 錢, 仲唔死快d…......
年復年, 月復月, 記得在這地方工作了五年了, 由以前八十人一起工作, 到現在三十人, 其實工作量不是少了, 只是公司要 run-down, 人自然就要消失, 有無奈, 有唏噓! 今年工程鐵定完成, 還有的工作真是不知如何處理? 唉! 算啦! 人生無常, 開開心心過一天算吧! 明日愁來明日憂! 昨天又要歡送同事了, 連以往一些離開了的同事也來聚聚。
有時候簡簡單單的屋村食店都會有驚喜,
1) 價錢廉宜, 12 個菜一席, 每人一百多少少, 全包
2) 夠份量, 大大碟, 十一個大漢都吃不完
3) 味道也 OK, 可能我要求低? 其實我覺得人只要要求降低一點, 一切都容易開心滿足?
不過對我來說, 最重要莫過於開心過一個晚上, 就只一張出席名單, 已經可笑我一天?
貓姊, 讀番書的人, 你有冇攪錯?
1) 興哥 = "輕" 哥
2) 肥雄 = 肥"熊" , 你咪笑死人!
3) 係歡送會 = 送別會, 你估"咩咩"?

Sempornaê This mainly Bajau town is on a pretty bay sprouting sprawling stilt villages and islands with good beaches not far offshore. It is also a base for diving and snorkeling trips to Pulau Sipadan, Mabul, Mataking and Kapalai. The Dragon Inn and Semporna Tourism Centre is a large development of thatched huts on stilts over the harbour. The main event here is the yearly regatta called Lepa, where boat racers and decorated boats vie for top honours. This year, the Lepa Semporna will be held on 21st and 22nd April 2007.

Pulau Sipadanêêê The island of Sipadan is voted the top ten best diving sites in the world. It is perched on the summit of a steep underwater mountain that rises almost vertically from an abyss of 700 meters. This small island is fringed by a beautiful white sand beach which takes only half an hour to walk around. More than 3,000 species of fish have been classified here. If you do not know how to dive, you can take a course here. The best way to scuba dive is down the near vertical wall located 25m of the eastern side of the island, called Hanging Gardens. Other popular dive spots include Barracuda Point, Coral Gardens, Whitetip Avenue, Turtle Patch, South Point and Staghorn Crest. Snorkeling can be done near the jetty and around the shallow water around the island. It is easy to spot the variety of fishes and turtles. There are no accommodations on the island. In April 2000, terrorist group Abu Sayyaff kidnapped 20 hostages from the island, including a number of tourist. Since then, security has increased on this island and the surrounding waters. Diving packages and arrangements can be made with tour operators.

Getting There
Boat trip for Semporna to Pulau Sipadan is included in diving packages. Hiring a fishing boat for the 45 minute trip to the island cost RM250.
Pulau Mabul êêê Mabul Island is reputed to be one of the best places for underwater macro photography in the world. Located in the clear waters of the Celebes Sea off the mainland of Sabah, it is surrounded by gentle sloping reefs two to 40m deep. Covering some 21 ha., it is considerably larger than the nearby Sipadan Island and is home to the Bajau Laut tribe, one of many ethnic groups in Sabah. Diving is the main activity on this island, and it can be done all year round. Marine life that can be seen here includes sea horses, exotic starfish, fire gobies, crocodile fish, pipefish and snake eels. There are over eight popular dive spots, each with its own specialty. Three resorts cater to scuba divers - two are on the island itself while one is on a converted oil rig platform about 500m offshore. The offshore resort is called Sipadan Water Village Resort. Sipadan Water Village is a resort beautifully constructed with Bajau architectural design. The entire resort is built over water on stilts made of Belian Wood commonly called ironwood, laid in certain points so as to minimise damage to the existing reef. In its design, Sipadan Water Village has achieved near utopia in its over-the-water layout, splendid water cottage accommodations with flowered sidewalks, wonderfully prepared Asian and Continental cuisine, and impeccable and personable service. All of the resorts provide day trips for their guests to the nearby Pulau Sipadan and Kapalai Island. To reach Mabul Island, it is a 30-minute boat ride from Semporna and 20 minutes from Sipadan Island.
Pulau Matakingêêê Mataking is an island not far from Sipadan. Located to the north of Mabul, Mataking is three times the size of Sipadan and is only a 40 minute boat ride away from Semporna on the mainland. The size of the island is about 40 acres. Indeed, it is the promised island with majestic treasures for divers, holiday makers and honeymooners alike. Back on land, the night life can be exciting watching fire flies. Green and Hawksbill turtles come up to lay their eggs in the sands of Mataking Island. During the day, bask on the snow white sandy beach and enjoy the sight of the island’s coconut crab scurrying up a tree. You can also take a walk while listening to the bird’s singing in exotic garden. If you prefer a bird’s eye view of Mataking, climb up the King’s Watchtower and enjoy the breathtaking sight. If you are more adventurous, grab a few friends and explore the lushness of the tropical island vegetation or have some fun playing beach volleyball & beach soccer. You can also stroll down the 1km sandbar that connects Mataking and Mataking Kecil at low tide. When the crystal turquoise waters of Mataking beckons, it is an offer that cannot be refused. Suit up and explore the 30 or so dive sites in and around Mataking and the surrounding islands of Pandanan, Bohayan and Buhai Dulang.
Pulau Kapalaiêêê Between Sipadan and Mabul Island lays a sandbar that sits on the reef known as the Ligitan Reefs. The reef, a very extensive stretch bordering the deep and vast Celebes Sea, is the foundation of a best-kept secret dive destination called the Kapalai Island. With all the wonderful muck diving opportunities available in the South Pacific region, Kapalai is not just another place to do it. It is where discerning divers come face to face with amazing marine creatures and skills at spotting minute and cleverly camouflaged oddities are well rewarded. Rare subjects such as cuttlefish, blue-ringed octopus, sea moths and mating mandarinfish are seen on a regular basis. Other frequently sighted creatures are the crocodilefish, lionfish and scorpionfish. Giant frogfish, ribbon eels, harlequin ghost pipefish and crab-eye gobies are seen on many of the dive sites. The jetty dive itself has plenty to offer including leaf scorpionfish, pink-eye gobies, ambonian shrimps and the comical antics of the mantis shrimp.
The sole resort occupying the island is the Sipadan-Kapalai Resort. Protruding above the water, it is elegantly built in a traditional water village style. At one end of the resort boasts a rather long sandbar of blindingly white sand where one can sunbathe in total recluse during low-tides. The resort serves great food at the open terrace and offers twin-sharing wooden chalets with en-suite baths. Guests are also able to observe the antics of squids and needlefish swimming below from the roomy balconies.
Although Kapalai is just a few minutes away by boat from Sipadan, one can expect a completely contrastable dive. Diving in Kapalai can be considered ideal for the beginners, yet diversely exciting to satisfy the most experienced diver.

上星期六去了看旅遊展, 不知是不是好久沒看過? 看了後的感覺好像大不如前, 是不是我年紀大了, 要求看的東西不一樣了, 還是真是辦得太濫, 沒有驚喜?
不知是不是香港人太忙或是習慣不守時, 約了1430在灣仔地鐵, 由於我坐隧巴, 1420打電話說我在天橋等他們來, 朋友說還未到, 在北角地鐵站, 我想他都是遲些少? 誰知另外大伙兒1440給我電話, 問我在哪? 我就說己在天橋上等他們, 叫大家再等一回, 遲到的朋友馬上就到, 結果1450大家離開, 到天橋上會合我入場了, 唉! 到了場館, 才收到電話, 那朋友說到了, 正是差不多1500! 首先真係大家要檢討約會朋友的守時態度, 如果只一兩個朋友, 我了解你為人, OK, 你都不是第一次這樣遲, 但集合的人一多, 你在場朋友壓力多大, 你真是毫不了解? 一面有人說快打電話找他, 一面又有人說不如走罷, 其實如果你預算遲多少, 不如早點叫你朋友先去入場, 在那裡等? 總比一班人無聊地等!
今次其實很期望可以找到波羅的海四國和俄羅斯的資料, 可惜! 伊朗, 突尼西亞, 俄羅斯, 塞浦路斯個 counter 冇嘢, 得幾個 staff 自己吹, 波羅的海就冇 counter 添! 帛琉, 詩巴丹又冇展, 下次真係先找人去看看, 有口碑有需要才去。
張Poster 仲靚過真的風景, Photoshop 你係得架!
有民俗舞表現
係唔係張Poster 靚 d 呢?
我就真係無無聊聊行了 3 hrs. 好累!
結果都有一個南極講座吸引我罰企 1 hr. 講者係 Pro-trek 老板, 去咗 4次南極, 真係不是一般人可以做到, 對我來說, 一次都不容易, 要飛去Argentina, 30 hrs飛機 + 20K fare, 登陸 St. Georgia 再去 Antarctica, 要坐 18 days + 40K, 嘩! 
咁玩法, 十皮八皮走唔到? 怪不得咁多 7-80歲公公婆婆去啦? 去南極果然冇年齡問題 ........... 只有$$$ 問題!
係就係有點失望? 真係要一次過中南美 + 南極, 冇半年都攪唔成! 雞叔上次幾年前去3-4個月都 7皮, 仲冇上 St. Georgia? 唉! 努力 d 賺錢.......... 早日上床發吓夢先! 
9個 x 都有 1個生, 起碼都有一線生機?
