Around 8 months ago, I was told that I am being too hard on some of the decisions, people or friends. So I made a decision, if I am hard on people then I rather make it a point to lossen up. However, I used the most powerful tool “Trust” to ensure everything runs well.  Its a rare commodity, that no one would dare to just give it away.

Well, I did. That decision proves to be disaster.

Not only was it broken, but an abuse of privilege on the freedom granted. The twist was so far backwards, only time will tell. One might say, oh, too much relaxation or perhaps the responsibility wasn’t there.

But the funny thing was, it a decision which one makes, internally. Be it friends, collegues or by person of authority. We tend to find reasons(more of an excuse) for it or perhaps an action that justify the means. For the sake of comfort, then again, everything happens for a reason. True character of a person can hide when facts are there to prove otherwise.

The truth be told, that most of us knew about it. We chose to keep it away from particular person(s). Is it betrayal? You decide. The worst crime, we chose to do nothing. Not one, nor two but all. Sounds familiar? Perhaps it sounded like … well… politics…

Politics can swing both ways. Its a double edge sword. The environment we create, irrespective how we find reasons and shift blame, will never wash away for who we really are! Shocking isn’t.

Today, someone told me, if we have the wrong color in the wrong place, its no surprise how everything turns out the way it is. It took me a long time to think about it. So long in fact, the whole morning wondering if reality hits me.

Funny thing though, tonight, I put this same question to another person. Its the wrong color, what are you going to do about it?

It has been nearly a month since I did my last post. Not that I lost touch with blogging nor did I felt so lazy. But these past couple of weeks have been such a sweet challenge, that not even pain could put me into a dent anyway whatsoever!.. I will keep you posted in a couple of months.. when its cleared for approval.

Speaking of challenges, first, the SI came from Indonesia to finish off some creation for our 1.5 years project. Then, there were certain workflow issues which needs sorted out which took nearly two weeks to finish off. Its more of a mental block rather than the process. Then of course, a roadshow in Hua Ho Manggis which needs to tie lose ends. Out of it all, well, not anything cant put a dent on my spirits lately.

Anyway, I did find some Sunday to do some photography. And no, I didnt make time for scuba diving since there is not much time at all. Anyway, enjoy some of the pictures which I taken. Its quite funny when your subjects is monkies.

As the header said “I couln’t bear to see….” when two baby sharks will end up on someone’s dinner table. Especially when they are alive. Too bad I didn’t have a salt water tank or it will end up in my tank till they’re fit to jump back into the sea. Seriously, the taught did came into my mind to use my brother’s tank.

The fisherman was kind enough sell to me for $5.00 bucks for two, so I ended up purchasing them, took them back to the sea, help them breath again for the next 20 – 30 mins until they’re fit to go.. Hope that they are ok though.

Only to realise that, I nearly taught my iphone to swim together with my soak wallet. Luckily wifey was there to take these items away from me as the waves kicks in.

Later in the night, around 10pm, I went back to check if the sharks were push back to the shore. Just to check so I could sleep better at night.

If you ask me if I’ll do it again, Yes!!, I would purchase any sharks if they’re alive. I haven’t see sharks for a long time during my dive but this time, I get to touch live ones!!!. Not that I am an expert in them but to see these beautiful creatures on a dinner table, I could just lose my appetite.. So guys, don’t ever serve me shark fin..

hehehe…. Discovery Channel and Nat Geo channel do work for my brains. Once I saw that you can’t throw a shark into the water straight away after being out of the water for a long time. You need to help them out until they start kicking.

It was an honor for me on Sunday, to be able to see, touch and help these two baby sharks..

I have always taught running was never my forte.. Water, definately. I always felt the sea is where I belong. Swimming, jetsea, diving or any sea sports, you’ll see me there.

In my most recent deep dive, my body began huffing and puffing since my last 4 months. So here I am, what should I do? Crash diet, wipe carb out of my diet or challenge myself in another new thingy….

Nearly a year ago, my wife purchase this nike+ for the Mac.. hmmm… I joined her too. Anyway, Husband and wife doing the same thing together. It would be good.. She can do her other stuff while I jump on the runing bandwagon..

Its has been challenging though. First, the old sensor conk out. Next, I had to re-calibrate a couple of time. My calories haven’t been calculated after a long run.. but finally, everything worked out fine. Finally!! I can see my progress. Too bad this site don’t have an add on for wordpress.

As normal human being, consistency is now crucial. Can’t let my stats come down all the sudden. No carb intake.. boy.. there goes my lovely bread!

Oh yeah, Aaron… start laughing.. Even I laugh at myself..
