Face to face with mantaray in Maldives - 在馬爾代夫邂逅魔鬼魚

This was the 3rd time we spotted manta ray throughout the whole week of LOB in Maldives but this time it came so close to us. It was our last day of diving in Lankan Manta Point. Meeting face to face with this giant creature, it was just exciting and thrilling! Well, managed to capture the video from the top of it somehow revealed my poor buoyancy control but anyway I am still proud to present this for sharing as well as for record of precious memory in the paradise island (with some flushing of shyness on my face of course)! Haha!
這一次，在印度洋的海域和魔鬼魚靠得那麽近，看著這身型幾乎比我大上三倍以上的龐然大物恬然地擺動身軀，在我們身邊一圈一圈地來回環繞著，呼吸也急促了， 中浮力也搖擺不定了，無法形容的雀躍和激動！
如此這樣的親密接觸，總算為這一季的馬爾代夫之旅，划下了不盡完美卻仍屬美麗難忘的句點。

搞笑得来某部分略嫌过于无厘头，
隐喻的不少课题颇讽刺却让人会心一笑;
传达的讯息引人发躆却更发人醒思。。。
诚意十足的本土作品...

It's a film truly for Malaysian...
worth for support!!!

Malaysia Day @ Crystal Hill aka Bukit Tabur

距離上一次攀上水晶山迎接2010年元旦的日出到這次慶祝馬來西亞日而再次舊地重遊，
已經過了500多個日子。
路綫有些改變，
艷陽取代朝陽，
山岩卻依舊險峻！

2nd visit to the Bukit Tabur (Klang Gates Ridge), the view is still spectacular but the sun is hot as we got up quite late.
It gets the name of Crystal Hill as it is a quartz ridge and recognized as world class geological site.
The rocky way is steep and need to be extra careful therefore not recommended to go if the weather is not good.

Maldives LOB 天堂之岛26/8-3/9/11

Finally, landed on this dream island and experienced my first Live-A-Board with MV Maha and 15 crazy divers gang.
Didn’t really get chance to enjoy the sandy beaches, but the sky and sea never stay apart from us with different colour tones throughout the 9 days and 8 nights.
Highlights:
-The life on board was never get bored, thanks to the crazy divers gang and MV Maha’s crew for all the memorable moment that we had spent along.
-The total of 18 dives that we did revealed the ‘over-expected’ disappointment but the moment when we spotted mantaray which came so close to us was just thrilling and exciting. Perhaps, the whaleshark is still waiting for us somewhere sometime.
-The night party on beach was mesmerized by the effort put up by the 4 pretty ladies in making up ourselves and the crews in making up the whaleshark, but the shower of rain added to our dinner was definitely the ‘climax’of the night!
-The starry sky above the Indian Ocean was so stunning and even the galaxy could be seen clearly. First time in my life, as much as 22 meteors were witnessed within a night and triggered the shouting of amusement!
All these made up to the enjoyable vacation in conjunction with the celebration of Hari Raya and Independence Day 2011.
9天8夜,遠離塵囂,徜徉于印度洋,有連綿不絕的笑閙聲乾杯聲,有練習浮力抗急流的經驗累積,更有生命裏的第一次流星盛會和第一次和魔鬼魚的親密接觸。

感謝你們在這一座天堂之島上豐富了我的旅程。
Many thanks. 'Shukuriya'. (thank you in Maldivian language)
Still planning to go back?
Maybe yes, maybe no.
Under-stand?! :p

Aerial View of Maldives + Male City

Come back to work from the paradise.
My body is still feeling like floating on the sea,
My mind is going to doz-off,
My photos are yet to be shared out...
The main point is, I missed the chance to take the aerial view of the coral islands and capture the Male city from such great angles and complete documentary as my buddy did...
so, please allow me to post my buddy's album for sharing to take the first glance of Maldives!
Many thanks ;-)
