Alien In The Ocean.

  Diving with alien?  I think many of you might have seen this picture thru the local newspaper published somewhere in the month of Dec 2005.  It is a very unique picture captured in Japan.  According to the news reported by National Geographic website, Japanese scientists speculated that the jellyfish are drifting from China's Yangtze River Delta, where unusually heavy rains may have created a flow that is pushing the jellyfish flotilla to Japan. Another theory suggests that seas heated by global warming are better suited for breeding.

  I have been stung by jellyfish few years back when I was participating a local ocean long distance swimming in Terengganu (Terengganu International Swimmathon). It is a 6.5KM ocean swim from Pulao Kapas to the Mainland of Terengganu. The water was as clear as crystal.  In the beginning, there were few tiny jellyfishes floated.  As we swim furhter, larger jellyfishes are encountered until a time where I can't avoid by touching with these creatures.   Seconds after the touch, my body starts to feel the pain.  Immediately I call for help from nearby race-officer in kayak.  They brought me up to a fishing boat.   At that time, the level of pain is at the max.  I was screaming because of pain.  After that, i was transferred to another larger boat where doctor is stationed.  A group of medical officers gave me an immediate treatment to calm me down before I admit into the hospital.  That's my first ever experience in ambulance riding with silence on.  Haha.

  Now, it was kind of nightmare when I meet with jellyfish again.  But it wasn't the fault of jellyfish, it doesn't swim towards me, it's me that swimming towards them.  I think meeting them underwater should be another kind of feeling.

Geisha are professional female entertainers who perform traditional Japanese arts at banquets. Girls who wish to become a geisha, have to go through a rigid apprenticeship during which they learn various traditional arts such as playing instruments, singing, dancing, but also conversation and other social skills. In Kyoto, geisha apprentices are called "maiko". Geisha are dressed in a kimono, and their faces are made up very pale.
