The engineering roots are appearing. I notice I am beginning to love symmetries, lines and shapes all over again.

That’s how the trip went. Took a week off in January and headed to Lembeh Straits in Manado, Indonesia for some critter hunting. It was a really wet season as we saw no more than 2 days of sun during my week’s stay. There were less critters, but enough to keep me busy with an average of 75mins underwater each dive. One of the highlights of this trip was witnessing the hatching of the flamboyant cuttlefish. The guide found the eggs under some coconut shells and I decided to wait and watch it for awhile. When I saw one of them moving, I prep my camera and took some shots and when it popped, I nearly screamed into my regulator. It was just an amazing experience to witness it.
Learned a great deal during this trip, in terms of handling of the camera among other things, things that I can apply to my job. It was a fruitful trip and I will be back again. Many thanks to the friendly staff from Twofish divers, good to see you guys again:D Here are some pictures from the trip.

Still on last year. And re-living the experience of 2010.
Something we did last year. Something we will be doing again this year.
It’s been a good day. Worked so hard I forgot breakfast, lunch… and I’m heading back home for dinner. If I keep up with this pace, I will be a very happy man by new year’s day:)
And yeah, congrats again Gerald and Lydia:D See you guys around if I find time to hit the waters.

The first time I was in Shanghai was in 1988. I remembered we were touring China from Beijing all the way down to Guangzhou. The tour guide told us, “桂林看山头，上海看人头”. It’s surreal to be back there again after 20 odd years. Shanghai still lives up to it’s name as an extremely crowded city. Being the final week of the World Expo, I think half the population must’ve descended upon the city. But I have to say, as much as I dislike crowds, I really enjoyed the vibe at The Bund. It has this really vintage charm to it. 23deg breezy weather helped alot too. Kinda miss the feeling of not sweating while shooting.
Seriously, we did ALOT of walking in Shanghai. Don’t trust them when they say, “it’s only 5mins walk from here…”.
