AWWW~!!! It's AUR!!

Welcome to my web page on Aur!!  As you can see that this place looks cool on the outside, superb on the inside and delicious to the tummy.  This is called the Diver's Lodge where divers, young and old, green horns and un-green horns, beautiful and handsome gathered together.

You won't believe what you can find here.  Cool fresh water from the springs of the island.  Water heaters, electricity, cool breeze and an IKEA furnished look (no joke, all from IKEA, except the bed.  Even the concept is IKEA'ish).  Wahh~~ when the customer is a Singaporean, business owners do miracles.  Kudos to Friendly Waters the are the operator of this place :).

The Sotong Look after a 10 hour Journey from the South

This is the picture just before we went to the first dive (I think).  New found friends, Wong and Belinda (Sorry if I spelled wrongly!!) are lonely souls like me eager for a dive but got caught in the infamous trap of kakis betrayal.  Bo Bian lor.....go alone.  But one thing about diving, you get to know people.  No wonder is a great sports for Singles. hehehehehe.

The Ultimate In Satisfaction: A Storyful Dive

Choppy waters indeed!  Even Belinda has to fork out the sausage.  As you can see, the sausage is errmmm...LIMP, and we are about to search for the Sausage VIAGRA.  Thank the heavens the boat got us before I need to sacrifice my share.  AHEM.  Not that I'm that useless but just in case you need it in the water :P.

One of the Boats Used To Ferry Water Devils errr....Divers.  With Mazlan doing the Titanic, Gilbert looking aimlessly and Gideon looking hunkish.

We had a total of 6 dives, 5 day dives and a Night dive.  We saw a variety of Coral fishes, Napoleons, Belinda's Fantastic Octopussy, nearly got crashed into a MAN SIZED Sea Turtle and a kiss to its face all thanks to Francis and of course Barracudas, rock fish and the works.

Definitely worth every penny.

BBQ Time at the Sun Deck.

But of course, to cater to the infamous Singaporean tummy, the people at the Lodge are so kind to feed us the best kampong style sea fare after each dive.  The food is of course VERY delicious that I think the cook should start a stall in Singapore.  The whole event is of course rounded off with a full range of sea food BBQ which is the apple of the eyes of hungry divers.  Hmmm...wish we could have turtle soup though. :P....or maybe BBQ'd Belinda's Octopussy. YUCK~~!!  

Come to think of it, did I just ate the fish I saw a while ago?

A little Water Splashing After the BBQ

Belinda, Mazlan, Tab(itah), Ole, Muah, Hans &....& .....&....?

We of course went for the last two dives on Sunday and at 1.30pm, we are off to Smoky Singapore.  On the way back, the Sun was so nice to bid us goodbye after it's reluctance to shine when we are diving !@#!$!%!#$@^%!.  My sun tan plans are finally salvaged with a great red tan during the ride back to be shown back in Singapore.

Last Supper (:P) with Wong, Gilbert 'GILO' Wong, Tab, Dirk, Ole, Belinda, Wilson, Hans (Mazlan taking pic y'see?)

As all Singaporeans might say, all starts well ends well with makan. I agree as much.  Imagine a 8 dish Chinese Dinner at 150 ringgit per table. 

That's all folks~ My first trip to Aur.  Hope you guys get more saliva (more from the dive I hope) out of your system by now.  If you want to see a bird's eye view of the sea from the highest room, please click the word click (duh~~~).
