zippsy, just give Mike directions to Orchard Towers...

Jovin, great report and pics

Hi Kimuchi head!
he's already thinking about staying at Hotel 81 or Fragrance hotel......so..... NO need to go to Orchard Tower lah!!


Raja ampat is very interesting place. went there over X'mas holidays. viz wasn't great but lot of macro stuff to see, so didn't bother me much.
the highlight was the Walking shark, which actually CLIMBS the wall and stay onto the wall like Gekko!!! so we re-named it as "Gekko shark"!

Hey all, thanks alot for the sweet comments

Pinay Diver: I'm using an Olympus C7070, dual stacked INON macro lens and single INON strobe for most of my macro shots.
