Vela Luka, Croatia Remember when I wrote about how there are all sort of animals at the staff house? Well, birds are building nests both inside and outside the house: on top of a lamp, electric fusebox, etc. It’s pretty wild! By the way, I […]

Day 54: The Tangent Universe
Vela Luka, Croatia I was supposed to join Tihana to pick up her new car in Dubrovnik today. But to do so, I’d have had to catch the 5:15am ferry off the island. Obviously, that didn’t work out. I woke up close to noon :] […]
Day 53: Dive Logging
Vela Luka, Croatia Not much happened today besides doing my Divemaster training course (ie. assisting Tom and his students with Advanced Open Water Navigation course) in the afternoon. I’ve been racking up dives lately and I ran out of space in my dive logbook. Was […]
Day 52: Goodbye Charlotte!
Vela Luka, Croatia A lot happened today…. where do I begin? Morning: During our dive briefing in front of the dive center, we heard this loud bang. We turned to see a yacht, a rowboat broken in half, and 4 kids in the water. Apparently, […]
Day 51: damnumosquitoes
Vela Luka, Croatia I have to admit I didn’t really take any picture today. So today’s topic will be something I would have posted two days ago had we not bumped into the grasshopper in the staff house. Ever since two weeks ago, I have […]
Day 50: Urban Explorers
Vela Luka, Croatia We learnt from Billy that there’s supposed to be a long lunar eclipse in the evening. So after work and after dinner at Alfa, Andy suggested that we go to this abandoned hotel and go to the rooftop to take photos of […]

Day 48: This Is Sparta!!!

Day 47: Summer Solstice
Vela Luka, Croatia I was on the evening shift today at the dive center. On my way back home around 9:30pm, I went pass a bunch of people sitting outside their house and watch their kids jumping through bonfire. I thought it was just some […]
Day 46: Thirties Are The New Twenties
Vela Luka, Croatia Andy kept reassuring me that thirties are the new twenties. I think he’s more concerned with my psychological well-being now that I hit the big 3-0. I spent the day working as usual. It started off with dive-leading two New Zealanders and […]
Day 45: For Tomorrow
Vela Luka, Croatia Last day of being in my twenties! I thought I’d take a picture of myself before I became “old.” Hehe. I’m pretty much the colour of oompa-loompas from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Guess that’s what a month of sun would do to […]
Day 56: The Event
Vela Luka, Croatia After a full day’s worth of work at the dive center, I usually came home knackered. I tried to watch movies before going to bed but was unable to even close to finishing any of them. Luckily, I had gotten hold of […]
