Psych

Psych is a WhoDunit comedy TV series about a man named Shawn Spencer, who has the ability of exceptional observation skills and photographic memory, but he attributes his abilities as being psychic and is hired by the police after a member of the rich and influential McCallum family, Camden McCallum Jr. is kidnapped. Shawn, using his memory and "psychic" abilities theorizes that the kidnapped man may have kidnapped himself in order to get the 5-million dollar ransom. When the SWAT team and local police arrive at the isolated woodland cabin where Shawn "sees" that the McCallum is, they burst in to find Camden and his accomplice shot dead. The police, noticing the pistol in the accomplice's hand, says that it was suicide, but 

Shawn thinks otherwise. Once again using his clue-gathering skills and photographic memory, he visits the McCallum family mansion where he confronts the head of the family, Camden McCallum Sr., father of Camden McCallum Jr., and has a vision of McCallum Sr. accidentally killing his son and intentionally killing his accomplice after discovering their woodland hideout. (Of course, he already figured this out using deduction and evidence at the scene of the murder, but he had to keep up the facade that he was psychic in order not to be arrested) McCallum Sr., outraged and scared by Shawn's revelation, orders Shawn and Gus to get out of the house. Gus, Shawn's partner, shows Shawn some medication for a dog bite. Gus theorizes that after that murders, McCallum Sr. was bitten by the dog that mcCallum Jr. owned, but stopped biting him after he recognized who his victim was. Then Shawn calls the police, and acting like McCallum Sr., says to the police that "there's an intruder in my house. Please come and arrest him." As Shawn is being arrested he pretends to have another vision, this time about the dig bite, and tells the Chief of police to check McCallum's wrists. After this, McCallum finally cracks, and Shawn is pardoned. At the end of the episode, Shawn shows Gus a piece of property he recently bought, and says that this is the site of their new detective agency.

My SCUBA Diving Adventure

“So I can really learn SCUBA diving?”

I was at the bowling alley in Plaza Senayan and my 10th birthday party had just ended. I was getting ready to go home when my dad pulled me aside and said “Do you remember what I promised you when you were 8?”
I furrowed my eyebrows. I couldn’t remember the major events that had happened two weeks ago, much less two years ago. But then the memory came back to me like a long lost story. I was sitting down on the couch reading a book. It was a normal day for me except that my parents were getting ready for their first SCUBA diving lesson. When I had heard about it, I started whining.
“Why can’t I go?” I asked my dad.
“Because you’re not old enough.” he replied. “Law requires all SCUBA diving students to be at least 10.I promise on your 10th birthday I will set up SCUBA diving lessons for you.” The memory ended and my mind shifted to the present and I said “Yeah, I remember. What about it?”
“Well, it’s your 10th birthday, isn’t it?” Suddenly I got really excited.
“Did you call him?”
“I’ll call him now.” Him was Joi, my dad’s diving instructor. I was elated. I was going to learn SCUBA diving!

The first lessons were in Joi’s dive shop. I learnt basic hand signals to communicate with other divers underwater and I also learnt the name and function of every piece of equipment a diver needed to have. The next lessons were pool dives. We went to a huge Olympic-sized swimming pool and did practice dives. The dives were truly exhilarating, because when you’re down there, you feel fifty kilos lighter than you should be and for one blissful hour I was gliding across the pool with not a care in the world. More pool dives followed and although they were fun, I longed to venture out into the ocean and see nature’s underwater miracles.

My dream finally came true when Joi announced that we were going on an ocean dive at Kotok Island, just one of the thousands of islands that make Indonesia’s vast archipelago. The boat ride to the island took an hour, and when we arrived I was eager to get into the ocean, which from the pier looked like a calm blue sheet, stretching into the infinite horizon beyond. First I donned my wetsuit. This garment kept me warm in the sometimes cold waters of the ocean. Next I attached my air tank to my BCD or Buoyancy Control Device. I then attached air hoses, air pressure gauges and compasses to the top of my air tank. These were critical pieces of equipment, since they told me how much air was in my tank, where I was and they allowed me to breathe underwater. The last things I put on were my dive boots, fins and mask which helped me to swim and look at underwater life. I waddled to the edge of the pier and looked down. My dad, my friend Adri and Joi were behind me. I stepped off and plunged into the ocean. I panicked at first, but then I relaxed. I started to swim to the buoy that marked our descending point. Three splashes behind me told me that the others were in. I reached the buoy and waited for the others to catch up. When they arrived, I started descending using a rope attached to the buoy. When the rope ended, I let go and swam around the reef. Hundreds of fish swarmed around me. They came in different colors and varieties. It was fascinating to watch them. I lay down on the sand and stared eye-to-eye with a huge fish. After more exploring, I relaxed and leaned on the ropes. Joi motioned for the others to come to him. He was holding a starfish which was pentagon shaped and was the color of roof tiles. This is perhaps a game of catch that I will never forget. We threw the starfish to one another, until the air in our tanks was low. We ascended to the surface and I looked around and instantly knew that that there were more dives to come.And when they came, I would be ready.
