The old will eventually make way for the new. Its quite a pity that it will be torn into shreds or get pounded repeated by some machine till it takes the form of a metal cube.
We will be scuba diving near/at labrador park tmr. I am pretty optimistic despite the constant taunting of the instructors. e.g. They relate diving in Singapore waters as "diving in milo".
Utterly reassuring, they continue to describe the beauty of Malaysian waters. Crystal clear water, countless schools of fish, delectable BBQs and Top up $160 to end your misery here.
So, why am I not heeding the advice of many and still persist to take the plunge into the murky depths of "milo dinosor"?
1. I am too lazy to renew my passport. 2. $160....... hmmm.... 3. I would probably be too busy trying not to drown. 4. Milo, actually not bad what.
Wu sotong boh?

A dive, then a splash. You realise you like it.
My brother's encouraging my sis to take up music as a career. A flutist, to be exact. I think its great that she knows what she likes. Not sure if she really has the passion to pursue it as a career though.
Me on the other hand, still bobbin' around in the ocean, has to find a part time job instead of blogging all day.
The world's resources are depleting. They will deplete one day. What's gonna happen next?

I will type this in the most placid way as I possibly can.
My bicycle was chained, by me, at the yewtee mrt station 2 days ago. Me, being lazy and all didnt retrieve the bike. I decided to collect my bike today.
With only the key in hand, I walked to the mrt station. There were 2 chains and 2 padlocks on the bike. One belonging to me. The other, was holding my front tire, the metal pole and another person's bike as well.
The other bike had its own lock and chain already fastened to the metal pole. No one would double chain his front wheel and lock another person's bike right?
I thought my eyes were failing me. I took a second, a third and a fourth look. What the fuck did I do to deserve this?!!?
There were billions of bikes parked there daily. why me?
Initially I thought the mrt personel chained my bike for leaving it there. They didn't. They advised me to make a police report.
I did. The officer on the phone must be cursing and swearing that he answered my call. I couldnt prove the bike was mine. They couldnt just cut the chain without that.
I was in deep shit. "ah fuck la.. just leave it and get a new bike?" Then the officer suggested to send an officer down to assess the situation.
A female, Malay officer(whom was quite hot.) and a male, chinese officer came to to my rescue. They took my particulars asked me a bunch of questions and started to cut the chain.
The questions were: "What time did you park your bike here 2 days ago?"
errr... I honestly couldnt remember so, some random words came outta my mouth.
"Do you have any disputes with anyone? Or know of anyone that might have done this?"
wah lan eh...
"Actually we cannot cut the chain for you. Unless, you do not want to take legal action. We will label this under a mischieve act."
Whoa. Please cut the chain!!!
The officers were really friendly and the mrt staff came to help too. I found it strange that the police do not have a power cutter readily with them. Fortunately, the mrt staff had it.
I shooked the officers hands and thanked them. "alamak my hand dirty lar" haha the officer cute man.
I really dont geddit my bike's not new or anything. Its cranky and dirty. Why? Is there a way to deter people from doing stupid stuff to bikes at the station?
Wasted man I didnt bring my camera. I would probably write in to the TODAY newspaper. hahah
