At this very moment, I’m sitting on my bed in a cosy room of a hotel near the Austrian Standards Institute in Vienna. I’ve been bestowed with the task of representing Malaysia as a delegate to attend the ISO (International Standards Organisation) Standards Meeting for Diving, sent by the Technical Committee of SIRIM. Being in the working group of the first standards set, I’d been involved as part of the policy planning at the national level since 2005. I am so honoured to be sent here. It’s amazing how the whole system works when you get to the international level and meet all the movers and shakers of the dive industry around the world. It’s even more baffling that there are only two other females in the meeting and one of whom is an observer (no right to vote).
Again, I was the youngest of the lot and as I thought of something intelligent to say when I was having breakfast with butterflies on the first day, the eventual meeting was only formal until I injected pummkinology into the proceedings. Whenever they had to concur on matters, it would be called as a ”˜unanimous decision of the participants,’ and when they glanced my way, I’d say, ”˜I”“nanimous”¦.U-nanimous”¦? We-nanimous???’ *Nod nod nod* “Ok, we have wenanimously decided!”
Pam oh Pam, when will I ever learn to be serious? Don’t tell anyone but I think I had the most amount of fun in that two-day meeting. I have to submit a few reports when I get back. Even my BSAC instructor, Deric Ellerby, was present, obviously, because he wrote the BSAC manuals and was instrumental in building the industry!
When I return, I would have a lot of work to do. This would mean translating all the effects down to the dive operators and keeping them informed and hope, they will finally come together to a better tomorrow.
Hiya, Pam. Wow! You are setting the ISO standards for diving! Way cool. Do us proud, yeah! BTW, is there a localized website for Malaysians wanting to know more about PADI accreditation and courses here in Malaysia?
Hi Teoh!
Thanks for the support!!! Beneath all the seriousness, they are so fun to be with!!! There are no sites to learn about their accreditation here except their main site, padi.com but you can find out about courses from dive centres that offer them. See you soon!
Hahaha excellent my friend !

Yes, fake tan can look really good when done properly but often by doing it our self’s and even sometimes professionally it can turn out bad and
embarrassing. Therefore, there is no risk of cancer, skin rash,
and many other allergies that you can catch by exposing your sensitive skin to the elements.

Wearing the most elegant fabric which could enrich the beauty in you can be regarded as the best technique for fabric selection. Baby Phat tees were launched
in 1998 and quickly grew to become hot favorites of
the celebrities. Effectively, I’ve discovered
a way to get gorgeous wedding gowns and even designer wedding gowns for a fraction of the original price.

You will probably recognise some or all of these as some as used more
than others with very great success in carp baits:. For instance at a time when anglers where sticking rigidly to the mantra of 3 to 5 milliliters of flavour, plus
1 to 2 milliliters of intense sweetener to a pound of base mix
or more, as measured by 4 large eggs or 6 medium eggs as a
basis of measurement, I tried other approaches and reaped big
rewards against much more experienced anglers. You
can then take your armored vehicle and cash it
in at a chop shop, creating a nice little criminal spree combo.
