Lim Todd Joo's parents are jolly happy people. For the last thirty years, they always have something to laugh at.
Their son's name.
His chinese name is lin2 zhuo1 yu2. Read in chinese it means "to catch fish"
He is one of the divemasters, currently undergoing training by the guru.
This is him.
And his blog page.

And his web. (which is a load of crap)

Still, Todd is my brother.

I came to realise that running a blog about diving is boring.
Cos there is not much to bitch about the diving industry without stepping on people's toes or getting a brown nose. Also, there is not much to blog about, its always the usual, who's boat have just sunk, which instructor is sleeping with his students again... yada yada...
So i'm writing about something more useful, sharing my experiences that will, hopefully, make a difference in someone's life. How noble.
Recently i did the unthinkable. I proposed. With a fat-ass (i think) diamond ring.
The diamond is the 2nd most expensive purchase of my life so far, so i did a hell lot of research. I'm gonna share it here.
1) The diamond story. Stumbled on this website that basically post this book about the monopoly of diamond supply to the whole world by some Jews. Bottomline, the price of diamonds is manipulated a single company, and they are also responsible of brain-washing all the women of the world to believe that diamonds are forever, thereby creating this vast market for the diamonds that they sell, burning a hole in every bloke's pocket. Damn those Jews.
http://edwardjayepstein.com/diamond/prologue.htm
2) The Cs, thats something very well known by now. So i'll leave you to read it from the websites.
3) Which is more perfect? Lee Hwa Destinee, Gold Heart Hearts on Fire, Soo Kee Brilliant Rose, Larrys Lazare, Diamond industries...
There is no commodity in Singapore that is marketed with more BS than diamonds (well, except for those MLM shit). Everybody claims that their diamond is the most perfect, more perfect than the one next door. So who's the fairest of them all?
Well, my 2 cts worth:
There are generally 3 categories:
a) Cheapskates - Those from SK, Taka... certainly not for proposal rings (btw, for marriage proposal, please get a solitaire ring, meaning a ring with 1 x big-ass diamond. Why? Cos those fugging Jews said so..)
b) Fancy Cuts - All the BS cuts that is suppose to be more "perfect" than the perfect-ideal cut.
Marketing gimicks.
Example the Hearts on fire, Hearts and arows, Gabrielle... These are cuts that are actually a slight deviation from the Marcel Tolkowsky (another Jew) original Ideal Cut. They claim to be more brilliant, more sparkle... and therefore they can charge you an arm + a leg. To me, its like telling you that the water that comes out from the Diamond Water Machine is better than Water itself cos the H2O molecules are further apart and thus make you healthier... ??!!?? which is cheebyeabsolutemotherfuckingbullshit x 10.
c) The Real McCoy. Ideal cut, 58 facets. These diamonds are available everywhere, with certification from GIA, AGS, Lazare.
Except Tiffany, they do not believe in certification. The salesmen said to me:" What cert? Tiffany diamonds got class, no need cert one". Since then Tiffany is regarded by me to be in the same league as MLMs...
Back to the ideal cut, its a formula laid down by this 21 year old kid, his formula outlines the ratio of the dimensions to achieve the most internal refractions. I believe him, cos he was an engineer, so am i.
Among the different vendors offering the ideal cut, the Lazare cut (carried by Larry) is suppose have the tightest tolerance for the cut proportions. Which was what i bought.
Bottomline, any certified IDEAL CUT diamond should do the job.

Ok i suppose this is the next evolution in Clubnarc's history.
I have been toying with an idea to start a collection of dive logs of our guys. This collection of logs has 2 purpose.
1) to create a library of dive locations and type of diving for others to reference
2) compile a series of logs of a same place thru time and using it to understand the detoerations and/or changes to a particular place : eg, tiger reef, lembeh, sipadan.
A task like this could be quite mamoth consideration the sheer amount of dive's we have done thru the years.......
The submitted logs do not have to follow a specific format. just what we wrote is enough. submission of the scaned pages, faxed or otherwise would be compiled and posted somewhere in the net.......
if this gets on, maybe one day we can have all the stuff printed into a book.....
let me know your thoughts?

Okie.
I'm not some freaky pinky chick, neither am i some Jap wannabe (with many links to chio babe photos)
What i would like this blog thingy is to be..... a place for clubnarc people to talk shit and screw each other, bitch out loud, organise blading sessions without being screwed by the tip top executives with either very limited mailbox space or very low mental band width to process a few additional emails.... ahem, beg your pardon
So this blog is for everyone. yup yup clubnarc member can use this blog. To reduce memory storage space in your brains, the id and password is simply "clubnarc".
Simplicity is beauty.
