I'm not usually a water person, but since home minister had given instruction, I will not make excuse and purchase ticket for the family for a day getaways at the theme park. The ticket price, still affordable. But, 340 for 4 person(after discount), is a little high.

Whilst I'm not acostumed to swim, some of you may have read my story when I was a little younger, my dad throw me into a fishing boat for a joy ride, and the thunderstorm had me shit my pants through my pee hole. Since then, I wa traumatized and never even try to get into water regardless.

Fast forward to many years, I'm an adult. Used to have a 7 years long term relationship with a girl by the beach. Even that, she didn't manage to see me in the sea or swimming pool. The most we got close to "marinating" in the water, was probably hotel bath tub 🤣

More fast forwarding going on, me and home minister together for couple of years(I know I know, what happened in between. I gotta keep a small secret as I'm still married 🤣). Home minister booked a trip to the east coast, and I was happily accepted without knowing it's a island hoping trip.

I was so darn afraid of the water as I kept myself all time holding to the canopy support. You'll have to use your imagination, the ever so high testosterone Dave got no balls when come to water. I've been skipping all the snorkeling trips until one time.

The boat operator step over and offer me a cigarettes, whilst I was going to take a lite from him, suddenly he pull the cigarettes and had me a taekwando front kick and sent me off the boat 🤣

With a floating vest fasten, basically it's impossible to put me into a "dive" anymore. I struggled shout so loud at super high pitch, cursing and drinking salt water until I'm so darn tired and gave up. As soon as I have up, magically my body become very light and started floating.

Well, it's a good thing that 1 time home minister put me on an island hoping trip, and the boat guy did kicked me off the boat. I must say, I didn't really manage to enjoy snorkeling, as towards the last day I'm still struggling trying to keep my face down. I think after that incident, my body tend to wanto fave upwards so I can breathe. I will have to struggle myself to turn my face down to see some fish. As soon as my lung facing downwards, I will start to lose control and flip myself back up 🤣 You'll just have to use your imagination to picture a fat guy turning himself on the water as if he's pretending himself like a rolling wood in the water.

I can't say I love water, but I don't pretend like "I'm ok but I don't do water stuff". I will just happily say I can't swim, but let's go in there and you'll have to pick me up if I dive more than 3 hours 🤣 sorry the entire post has nothing much to do with the theme park because I left my phone in the locker for 5 damn hours. These pictures were taken after many hours soaking in the water, having my eyes eat ice cream(checking out bikinis), and we refused to go home because entrance fee too high, we will have to stuck there longer to make it feel worthwhile 🤣 I tried to wrap a turban so I don't need to carry a wet towel, but then again it turnout something like this. Doesn't really look like turban, but totally reminds me of super Mario toad.

justinparke@justinparke are you going to make a step by step guide on how to wrap a proper turban? My top is getting a lot thinner nowadays, I may wanna change my hairstyle to turban instead.
