Boring day.

Didn't do much today, now my weekdays will start to revolve around M6 book till the exam is over. Make my way to Toa Payoh swimming pool around 12pm in order to catch the sun. Not bad when i was leaving the house, it's very bright and sunny. Should expect a very good tan for bout an hr.

Board the bus & suddenly it's like the sun has a mind of it's own & wan to "tekan" me. As the bus was reaching the pool nearer by the minute, the sunny slowly changed to cloudy. Damn it, it seems like the sun pull the clouds over it's head like a blanket.

There goes the tanning i said to myself. Made my way inside the pool & as soon as i was ready to jump into the pool, the sky has a big spread of grey clouds. Siao liao, later cannot even swim if the lifeguard ask me to get out of the pool due to lightning. Bo chap, swim first then say. Manage to clear around 20 laps before it started to rain. I should say drizzling & the lifeguard let us continue which i presume there's no lightning. A very different experience to swim while it's raining. It's very calm while u are under the water & chaotic once you surface up ( wonder tat's what the fishes feel as well )

Decided to get out of the pool before the rain gets heavier. Not because i'm afraid my getting struck by lightning but more concern of how to get back home laterb because of the rain.

Burger king for lunch ( l love their ice lemon tea!! ) & M6 book to accompany me till dinner. Read the newspaper for a while & there's an article on the incident about the trishaw uncle + 3 ang mohs.

It said that the 3 ang mohs had apologized to the uncle ( which should be done long ago )
I should say they got wat they deserved for jeering & making sarcastic remarks on the uncle.
I'm sure if people recognise them somewhere let's say orchard, they will not be able to get out alive judging from all the comments and swearing on their actions.
The uncle is very old but i give him thumbs up for earning his own meals. To all those abled, younger & stronger but choose to beg instead, pls see the uncle as a role model for yourselves.
