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 […]

Last Day in My Twenties

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 […]

Open Water

Day 44: Open Water

Vela Luka, Croatia The whole staffs went to a sea-urchin clean up mission for the day and I was stuck at the dive center scanning. During which, I bumped into this article in a dive magazine about Bobby and Marjolein. Apparently, when they were working […]

Thunderstorm

Day 43: Storm Brought the Storm!

Vela Luka, Croatia It was a regular day today until a thunderstorm came out of nowhere in the evening. Storm, Adam and I were having our dinner in our front courtyard and playing some guitar when it started drizzling. But the raindrops were massive and […]

Facebook Won

Day 42: Facebook Won

Vela Luka, Croatia So…. I don’t know what it was between me and Facebook all these years. I refused to be on it despite everybody’s urges. No particular reason either. But today was the day I finally gave in. I guess I realized that people […]

Summer Fun :]

Day 41: Hot Hot Heat

Vela Luka, Croatia The signs of the summertime had finally arrived. The kids are now out of school, spending the hot afternoon playing in the water. Even this local dog here had the right idea: Croatian phrase of the day: Bilo je ukusno = It […]

Day 40: Compare and Contrast

Vela Luka, Croatia It was rather weird to not have so many divers. Our morning boat launch only contained 8 guest divers so it was mad easy. By 8:45 in the morning, Storm and I already did our boat launch duties (sorting out the necessary […]

Day 39: The Beat Goes On

Vela Luka, Croatia I think the Polish group were still drunk from the night/dawn. Apparently, they had been drinking until 5 in the morning. Throughout the morning, the divers showed up at the dive center to pick up their gear and paid off what they […]

Day 38: Polish Party Animals

Vela Luka, Croatia Boy, did Polish know how to party. Today was the last day they’re diving with us. We were invited to join them in their party at Hotel Dalmatija in the evening. There were loads of singing and guitar playing: tattoo drawing: and […]

Polish Divers Group A & B

Day 37: Ocean Spray

Vela Luka, Croatia Today’s another boat duty and dive leading day with the Polish group. Everything went pretty smooth. I was beginning to get a hang of this. It’s the fourth day of the same routines. Although I found out that finding my way back […]

Books

Day 36: Nothing Much!

Vela Luka, Croatia Day off! Didn’t do much but lazying around the house and went to the cafe to use the internet and update the blog. I finished the Dan Brown’s “The Lost Symbol” that I had been reading. It’s not my choice of book […]

Big Fish Small Fish

Day 35: Big Fish Small Fish

Vela Luka, Croatia I woke up with a sore throat and aching body today. I considered really hard if I ought to ask Bobby to not have me lead dives in the afternoon. I decided not to even bother to ask since I knew we […]
