My neighbour has this siamese cat. The other day I was reading my book on the porch when this slinky beauty came walking by. My neighbour (which is a thai woman, and does not speak very well english) started up a conversation about cats, which I happily joined in on. She told me that the cats were hers, and that she didn't really like dogs. This I could readily agree on. And then she told me that the cat's name was Pussy. At this point I was still into the whole 'agree on everything she says' mode, and for a while I was expecting her to laugh and to tell me that it was a joke. After a few very silent minutes I dawned on me that she did not joke, and the cat's name was in fact Pussy. Now I don't know whether I should tell her what that word to mean in english, whether she already know and don't care, or whether I shouldn't really care and just accept that there is a siamese cat here named Pussy...

I went out diving today on the morning dive. It was bloddy fantastic!! The visibility wasn't all that, but we went down to 35 meters, and got to see sharks. Saw a 3meter long reef shark, and do trust me when I say that seeing a shark on telly is somewhat entirely different from seeing a shark swimming by you 30 meters underwater. Suddenly one realises how totally ungraceful and slow one are underwater. Not to mention how utterly vurneable one r. We might be on the top of the foodchain, but I think someone neglected to tell the sharks that... Anyway, it was SO kewl, and I can hardly wait to go down again. Unfortunatly we overstayed our limit (refers to nitrogen level in blood and tissue), which means I shouldn't dive for 24 hours.
