An Everlasting Souvenir

The only souvenir I came back from Kuching with was a kg of pepper, but there's a souvenir I brought back which shall stay with me forever unless I spend some thousands fixing it. It all started when we were in Damai Puri Resort. Its a newly refurbished 5 star resort at Santubong. The resort was not 100% completed yet hence we manage to get a room there for half the usual rate. Half the rate, half the facilities and service too. The adult pool was still under construction and only the children's pool is completed. I wanted a swim badly, so I dragged Kenneth along. Nothing better than a nice dive into the pool.

Step 1: Analysis
The pool looks rather shallow. Is it ok for us to dive in? At the same time a lady was dipping in the pool and the water level reached her shoulders.

Step 2: Conclusion The pool should be deep enough to dive safely. 1,2,3 there we go.

CRASH! Kenneth surfaced with a bruise on his pelvic. I was second to him with my lips throbbing. He was cursing in pain. I thought I was better off with only a bruise on my lips. The earlier mentioned lady, stood up and turns out the water level was only until her belly!
We were like WHAT?!!! After seeing us 2 jackass doing the stunt came over and ask Carina how are we. On a hand we were like fools but we had a good laugh, but the laugh came at a price.


Back in the room I had a souvenir waiting for me. Looking into the mirror, there it was for me to receive it: A crack on my front tooth. Lost a small portion of it from the earlier stunt performed.

My first trip, with good memories and an everlasting one to always remind me of it whenever I look into the mirror. =)
