I get to sleep in the same waterbed as Eric Cheng? I must be the envy of hundreds …no, THOUSANDS of women!!!

stinky tofu? I almost gagged when I ate that last. I a bad Taiwanese boy.

and, I sometimes feel that papaya smells vaguely of feces. does anyone else get that sense? :)

kenny — i think i have to try to cancel our banana plantation room, because i’d MUCH rather not sleep together in the same full size waterbed… hehehe. plus.. it stinks in there. the sheets are really musty. i miss my 400 thread count sheets.

oh! i saw 600 THREAD COUNT sheets a few months ago. I almost bought them. they were even in my shopping cart. but… i exercised restraint. i probably wouldn’t even have been able to tell the difference. :)

retired? :) nope. (temporarily) lost? maybe. :)

oh eww!! i didn’t know sea cucumbers had butts LIKE THAT!!! nasty. hehe… baby got back!

so eric, is it the power of your camera, the photoshop retooling, or the natural beauty of your subjects that give your photos such oomph? how can i make my placid life stand out in such radiant colours?

"these people are trying to kiss your ass…"

uh, hope you’re not talking about me, dardy.

andrey, i didn’t post the first comment, it was some other lamer who posted that, as i wrote in my previous post.

so, i wonder if that person was trying to impersonate me or simply somebody who’s also called dardy. i can’t be sure who would impersonate me, but i know some possiblities. maybe someone mischievious who wanted an early april fool’s day.

on the other hand, it might simply be another person who’s named dardy. i have met some people who are also known as dardy.

i have different thoughts about kissing ass. eric’s pictures do look good, by and in itself. some of the praise might be exaggerated, and what would be wrong with that. it gets me thinking if it is right or not.

i don’t have time to think about this, because i’m at work. i wonder what other people’s opinions are about this.

i just went to the comments section for the last few 5 entries at this site. in the past 4 entries, a lamer pretended to be me and wrote some nonsense… i guess he is trying to make my reputation bad. arghh i have a reputation?

he wrote some things like i stuck a chopstick into my ass and other stupid things like that. he must be fucked up in the head like i was last week.

if you see entries by "dardy" it’s him. if it’s me, the name i go by is "dardi!"

E: I don’t think I’d even sleep in the same ROOM as you. Oh wait, I already did… rats. Anyways, different beds would be nice. Otherwise, maybe I’ll just make friends with the mosquitos and sleep on the floor. Your pictures are fucking awesome, by the way.

beautiful photographs, Eric! (not that this a surprise in the least)…

i find it’s particularly fascinating to look at photos taken by someone i (sort of) know — there’s the added aspect of realizing that this is how he sees the world from behind a camera lens. not saying that i understand how your mind works based on your photos, but wow, it sure notices cool stuff. :)

those turtles are so cute!

how sad! the injured pufferfish from 4/6 looks like it’s crying! =(

HS! Beautiful photos from your last day. The filefish, shark, and squid shots are awesome! How in the world did you get so close to the squid? The detail and colors are fantastic. Even using a huge lens, I’d guess you still had to be within 18 inches.
