O Happy Day~

Had a tiring but fun & exciting dive at Semakau today. First dive was to help epoxy some corals to the reef, where i saw a big, fat nudi (I think it's the Ceratosoma gracillimum)! :) Too bad I didn't have my camera with me. Then during my 2nd dive where i was trying to take the GPS readings for my transects, I saw... a big BOO BOO! :( Really upsetting. During the previous dive (last week), I'd seen the same (I think) boo boo, with a big fish (dunno what it is), a medium-sized fish (also dunno what it is, haha), a couple of butterfly fish and 3 catfish!! And today, this was the last straw:TWO huge cuttlefish!!! :(
So I made a bold move and got my dive buddy, KB, to help tow this big boo boo back to the boat to get a cutter...
The creatures were still a lil' stunned and not sure how to get out..
So we had to shake the boo boo a bit to help them out. Job well done, KB! =)

Then we stopped by SJI and I got to see the new pair of kittens that has been charming everyone's hearts - Troy & Spunx. They are soooo cute.Aren't they, aren't they!! :D I can't stop gushing over them. My heart has melted and melted again.
