Klutz!

My friends were asking WHY I never join them for diving. They went last weekend to get certified and had a blast.

Firstly, I don’t think I want to sprain my brain worrying which wet suit would fit me. Secondly, I think I will look like a beached whale in a wet suit. A friend who is quite fit lamented that, she needs to lose her tummy to fit into a wet suit, otherwise, she would look terrible in a wet suit. I stared at her and then shook my head. I need to lose HALF my body weight to even get into a wet suit. Hahaha! And, I feel very "geli" when it comes to fishes and things under the sea. I don’t even eat sea cucumber ok! Haha! So I jokingly told my friends, no.. I am good. I think I shall "dive" by switching on Nat Geo HD on Astro and wear goggles in my living room. Now my Astro got HD ok.. don’t play play! LOL!

Well, actually, I think I didn’t want to go diving mainly because I am such a klutz! Super clumsy! I remember going for an orientation on the first day of work, I almost knocked down a filing tray while extending my hand for a handshake! It was quite hysterical! Luckily, I managed to salvage the tray before it toppled over! The people there must be thinking my surname is Klutz!

I remember vividly when I was walking to the bus station after tuition with a friend, my knees suddenly went limp when getting down from a pavement and I actually fell on my face! It was a lucky thing that my friend was there to help me! I was so embarrassed that I decided to skip tuition for a week!

Once, I accidentally put in my credit card bills in my boss’ incoming documents folder. It was a lucky thing that he didn’t ask me.. and merely passing it out to me.. Hahahahaha! Maybe I was thinking, how nice it would be if he offered to pay my credit card bills. LOL! Dream on!

I could even banged my elbow on the glass partition when I was getting out from my boss office carrying a pile of documents. *Shake head in disbelief!*

I was lucky though when I went to Taman Negara. I was NOT the klutz.. but somehow, being labelled as one because of my size. Hahahaha! When we were all stalled from proceeding further in the cave – the participants behind us kept cursing me for holding them up, when there was actually a skinny girl in front of me, too afraid of the dark and was crying when negotiating the narrow paths with gaping dark ditches… If I were a klutz when going through Gua Telinga… I think that’s it lah.. I won’t be here writing this!

So, to save everyone from worrying about me, it’s better for me to sit this one out. Haha. Glad you guys got certified! Woo hoo!

    LOL … Hi Klutz! Talk about caving …. Fat Dragon and I were in Gua Tempurung aeons ago and we were supposed to absail down this rock face… So there were this bunch of guys who stationed themselves at the bottom to help those of us who swung furiously or who had the jitters… Then when it was Fat Dragon’s turn to come down … .. I was at the bottom (they didn’t know we were together) & I overheard one of them say “Wah!…Ani Tua Jiak Orr!!!” ……& they parted their stations like Jesus parted the Red Sea …. in case Fat Dragon came crashing down on them! Sorry to disappoint them … Fat Dragon did no such thing!

      LOL! I guess Fat Dragon knows how I feel lah. Always kena blame one, for the things we didn’t even do.. I remember doing flying fox also. The instructor told the other person on the other line… ini… berat ni… kena hati-hati! Cilakak betul! Luckily, I managed to hold on tight to the rope and didn’t go and hit a tree or something, managed to stop in time with my very big inertia!

      Also, we were lucky, we took another route out, and avoided abseiling.. otherwise… habis! Yes.. I also went to Taman Negara aeons ago.. I think back in the year 2001? Haha!
