Turtle Tomb.

I make it a point to write down the names of places that i want to go to, and putting aside the fact that 8 out of 10 places are at the seaside *ehem*... one particular place i really want to go to, badly, is Sipadan.
Like badly. So badly. I would sell my brother for a trip to Sipadan. Yes, that's how bad i want to go. I'll add in my cousin-brother as a special offer.

I realize one of the paling very super ultra main reason i want to go to Sipadan, is obviously... for the sea turtles.
I'm unpredictable, but i can be predictable too... at times... i guess.

So yes, sea turtles!!
One of my biggest dream is to swim with a sea turtle in their natural habitat!
I adore turtles! I pledged my whole life to conserving animals especially turtles and sharks, two of my favourite (though not suppose to be bias?)!
Do you know all species of sea turtles are actually endangered? Yes, we have actually pushed them to the brink of extinction so badly, and it's crucial to conserve them if you still want to see turtles swimming in the wild!

Anyways, yeah, do you know i actually spend almost an hour to two just looking at the sea turtles in Bangkok's Siam Ocean World?
I was talking (well, more like mind-communicating, if they can hear me - gosh i wish i'm Renesmee) to them, letting them know how i pity them, that instead of swimming in a big beautiful ocean they are stuck in such a small tank and all... and i asked them to "fighting", because they are holding an important task which is to educate the future generation about their kind, so that more people would learn the importance to conserve their kind... and all those stuffs...
I think (and hope) they get me! This Green Turtle (i can actually differentiate 3 types of sea turtles. I must be really obsessed with them) is always swimming at my side and letting me take nice pictures of him!
I look forward to going back to visit them soon (Thank you to the genius who created the idea of annual passes)! I hope they remember me!

Ok... you don't need to know how mad i am that... back to Sipadan...
OMG i've read online that there are just so many turtles there swimming around you, you wouldn't even bother about them during the dive! Imagine that... wow... *dreams*
Like... everywhere you turn you can see huge and ancient-looking darlings i mean - TURTLES... SUPER WOW!!


Another place i would really want to go, which is in Sipadan itself, would definitely be the Turtle Tomb.
But i am claustrophobic. Can it be something i be rid of, should i ever manage to go Sipadan after selling my brother?

There's another fear of me crying the minute i'm in there - never mind the claustrophobic part - i'm damn sure i'll be haunted for the rest of my life by all the images i will never ever forget... the curiosity in me will bugged me to eternity for the one thought which will never be answered... which is the reason to the existence of the turtle tomb.
See, there are two theories as to why so many turtles die there, hence, Turtle Tomb:
One - Turtles swam into it, got lost and confused and couldn't find the opening to the surface, then drown to death there.
Two - Old turtles swim there, and wait to die there.

I choose to believe in the latter one. To me, turtles are smart - albeit they might be senile due to their ancient age - but still... believing in the earlier one is just heart breaking! I mean... poor babies...
Besides, turtles, as animals so in one with the ocean, surely they know their way around by their senses right? More over once they reach maturity, the only things which can kill them are us, so therefore i refuse to believe the first theory, but rather, the second.


Oh well, why should i worry whether or not i should go to (the tomb)? I should worry if i ever get to go to Sipadan first! And i guess the chances of me visiting Sipadan anytime soon is as close the chance of Otsuka Ai marrying my brother.
...
Ok, pretty good chance then! To Sipadan we go tomorrow (Turtle Tomb still in consideration)!


Gosh, i am mad, retarded and delusional.
