note by PinkyDevil
- Was capturing ghost pipe fish, but lousy camera cannot capture properly. I gave up.
- Heard tong-tong, I looked up and saw Khairul (young DM) doing flapping his arms.
- First thing came to my mind: MANTA!!!
- Quickly change my camera setting – which one?? Underwater wide 1 or 2? Or should I put Shoot & Select?? Cannot decide, chase first lah.
- Boss who was out of air, quickly chased from 2 O’clock.
- 00 who was bored I think, rush ahead faster than DM.
- I gave chase… still deciding which setting… then Jeniper bukak turbo on top of me.
- Kejar!!! Kejar!!!
- See nothing.
Lunch - was nice to just having lunch on the beach, and we tried shared the food with Dive Masters and boatmen, I steal some of their sambal.. haha.. very nice taste.. must learn how to make it ..:)

I turn off my pc, walk to the dinning area, NitroxDevil there and I just ask : Hoi, I accidently deleted whole trip photos on my pc, how ah? all got shock... FroggieDevil thinking and said, should be ok, we done that before with unDelete Free software can recover it. OK, I follow Vince and FroggieDevil's advice, download the software and try, it work, but not the photos on this trip can recover...:( NitroxDevil said he got friend working is Seagate and HP, maybe they got better solutions, so I cannot TOUCH my u2010 until I got better software from NitroxDevil to do the recovery.(ps: few days after the trip, NitroxDevil sent me a software from his friend, and it work better!! I got all my photos back!! Thanks man.... )
2:45pm - Since waiting the time to pass with my broken heart for my photos, I really no expecting all can be recover, ask Vince, FroggieDevil and Jeslynn to play pools, on the last round, they said we are going to eat Babi Guling, as me and Jeslynn dun like pork, we bet who lost will eat more pork on the dinner..what a bet..:S This is the best way to chill myself up before the outing to the town..:) And we won the game... can see from Jeslynn's face boh song..:S hahahah.. takut makan Babi Guling..:S
3:30pm - Time arranged with other boat man and Dive Masters, we going to pick Angel from his house, we even stop by to visit his house on his own land, really big land with bright orange color house..:) On the path to his house got some nice redish color pineapple.
4:00pm - Visit local zoo, saw their famous Tarsius Monkey, so cute and small!! The zoo just located near some villages, so you still can see some other villager's house in between. Stop with a SWEET drinks, laychee from can + coconut = VERY SWEET. before we leave on the jetty, Dive Master pull a line which tight on the Jetty and we saw a turtle was tighten on this line.. wah lao.. so bad...but turtle for them is very special there!!
5:30pm - Again to Bitung, again all jump in to the van-taxi... and I think the distance is not so far from the jetty, 00Devil shout at me halfway, "Aric!

Day 8 Friday
---------
Well...just a zooomm.... it is time to fly back, trip back was easy, just sleep all the way in the van to airport.
On the queue for group check-in, we saw an ang mo argue with the counter about the weight and extra beg. 00 said: why the gal at the counter so stupid, follow rule until so straight, switch a bit also cannot...
then we check in after my turn, I just chit-chat with few devils and found why they took so long time for 00 extra beg, and also asking us about the check in ticket, so I go kepoh abit, ask them what is happening, TJ and 00 explain to me they wan extra charge for that beg, which we group check in should have enough weight for it.. ooooo.... I felt so sorry to the counter girl, must her bad day, because I always so angry with people never use their mind to doing their job, I think the "stupid" girl who handle our case is supervisor(can see from her face), some more wan ask us move to other counter then can slow-slow kao tim us... I beh tahan, just shout liao(with HIGH volumn): I dun care how long the queue behind us, we are here for long time for check in and your took so much time for it, not our problem, we will not move to other counter until you settle our problem, PLEASE RESPECT US , ok?
Once words out, Teni terkejut... she walks away..:S the "stupid" girl show boh song face... I happily stand there.. all people grep their chair with pop-corn and watch movie, then not even 2 minutes, she said : ok, all no problem now...
Sometimes those people really like people to show the feeling then they only like to work well..
At the airport I saw the shell hanging thing again, and the price is 70k but much simple design, then the other store opposite selling the same with what I bought, but 200K. Lucky found on the street that night....
ps: FuguDevil bought 3 small wooden statues but not enough rupiah, and need collect all rupiah from other devils only enought to pay.. so she hutang many rupiah to many devils..hahahha..
Fly back to LCCT.... end of the trip..... Devils the best!!!
