Day -365 to 1 (Non-Diving) PART ONE<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n
November last year, Tiger Airways fixed a new route from Singapore to Male. And here’s where the story starts. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Me being me, flight promotion has always been my weakness and I just had to share this deal. Though I didnt expect my virus to spread like wild fire, I am honoured to say, in 3 days, flights were booked and our chartered boat was 90% full. And that’s where we started our 1 year count down. <\/p>\n
By the way, my name is Michelle, or commonly known as Mitch and here is a story of my buddies and I in Maldives for 10 Days! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Starring a couple of divers from everywhere,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Back Row : (Left to Right) Tony Wun, William Lim, Ashley Tan, Joy Ling, Jackie Ng, Xiu Fang, Guo Qiang, Siew Hwee, Melody Chong, Florence Wang, Robert Tan \nFront Row : (Left to Right) Mitch Chong, Thomas Yap, Eddy Moey, Roy Koh, Desmond Chew, Tan Vee Lee, Ng Ying Ran, Felix Chua, Jackson Ting \nOn The Floor: Nurul Huda<\/p>\n
And the countdown starts! 365 days… 262 days… and finally 5 more days!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The last 12 hours of any countdown is always the most agonising. 10 days worth of packing wasn’t fun at all (no laundry, mind you)! And finally, by 11 Sep 2014, we are all packed, ready to go and talking about breakfast at the Airport before leaving for Male!<\/p>\n
The night crawled by as I constantly checked the time to make sure that it was ticking by. Before I knew it, my phone was buzzing at 0530 and it was time to wash up to get ready for breakfast! <\/p>\n
Met up with the early folks at Singapore Changi Airport for Burger King.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You won’t find me often, smiling at 0600. But I was genuinely excited to see everyone ready for Maldives. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
One last… before checking in!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And that’s William, Roy, Jackie, Tony, Florence and Robert entering Gate E4. Tiger Airways TR2509 SG to MLE! Thank you Tiger Airways for this flight promo!<\/p>\n
We were all seated separately, but first, let us take a selfie!<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
And one more ultimate one. Spot the non-diver!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The 5 Hours flight on Tiger Airways isnt the most comfortable one, especially if you have longer legs. Remember to get the extra leg room! Lucky for me, I was knocked out from the all the excitement the night before. I was sound asleep and woke up to a pleasant surprise…<\/p>\n

YES! This is Maldives! It is true when they say, MALDIVES IS BEAUTIFUL! Our liveaboard dive wasn’t starting till 13 Sep 2014. So after clearing the Male customs, we made our way to check-in at the Hulhumale Inn.<\/p>\n
