how can i sue Tag?

I am so pissed off with Tag-Heuer. I dive not deeper than 30 meters and its leaked!! So much for 'Water Resistant 200m Tested' eh?

So I brought it to Time International to get it repaired and they gave me a 3,5 million ruphs quotation!


I said to the Service Assistant ‘What the heck?? It supposed to be water resistant 200m, and I only dive to 30m and its leaked; now I have to pay that much for the repair? I think you owe me a technical explanation here Miss..'

And she said
‘it might be water resistant 200m but it might not resist 200m pressure'

!*&^?!*#$%?%^?
So i said of course it's not dear, by the way its bar for pressure not meter, secondly with 200 bar pressure I would’ve been dead by now, exploded.. leave alone this f*ckin watch. Depth rating of 200 meters or resistant to 21 bar pressure whatever, the fact: it’s leaked at 30m!!'

Oooh this girl is driving me nuts.
Anyway, if you open your open water manual page 102 Dive Equipment chapter, there is a picture of this watch as a sample of water resistant watch. Just be careful with your scuba diving timepiece whatever the brand is, don't trust it just like that in a snap of a finger as it might not be THAT ‘tough’.

With you i'll always share

Finally i’m back after few weeks disappearing from the web, where have i been ya haha?
Was in Pekanbaru then Bali. And this month has got to be one of the most fed-up months at the O.

Pekanbaru was bloody hot, the ‘work was pretty satisfying, the branch has a pretty cool new building with the whole 5 STAR CC standards.

I flew to Bali on April 30th and spent most of the times surfing. Well, went to several clubs few nights, blended into the crowd. I also went to Tanjung Benoa as Indra wants to try flying fish and parasailing and she also tried discovery diving which she hates a lot hahaha. Baru masuk 10 menit udah bete, jadi deh gw bajak itu BCD, mayan deh.. kapan lagi bisa diving gak pake wetsuit haha, it was a nice day in the sun and underwater ;P

Here are some pictures we managed to take:

Paddys


Sea Snake. Too bad this one is not the highly venomous one.



Anyways I lost my camera when I was surfing. I know I was being completely idiot bawa2 camera pas surfing, tapi itu long story ya sebenernya.. yang nyebelin I lost few good surfing pictures, hiks, mana itu Olympus Mju UW Cam sudah menemani hari2-ku for like three years or so..my heart was broken :'(

Langsung deh telp2 my dad ngabarin that I lost my cam and he said ‘Innalillahi. That’s ok, I lost my brand new laptop few weeks ago, banyak2 istighfar, things happen for a reason you don’t need to be overly sad, its just a camera anyway so cheer up and don’t ruin your vacation’. A minute later I cheered up.


with James, local surfer

I’ll fly to Bali (again) next Friday (16/05) just can’t get enough of surfing now, i’m head over heals with it, and this time i will also say hi to those Nudibranches beneath Tulamben and Amed!
To those in desperate need of holiday, do check my blog regularly. Will feed your eyes with gorgeous pictures!! Now where’s the camera again?
