Why Are You Here?

It started to rain very heavily in the afternoon. Thunderstorm, lightning, heavy shower, raining cats and dog but… As a soccer khakis cum good friend for 6 long years, it is a MUST to attend Yuehong 21^st birthday celebration at Coasta Sand East Coast.

21^st birthday signify a major change from young teenager into young adult and therefore the present also cannot be sui sui bian bian or too han suan. As he stated in his blog he wish to have a ipod MINI, we as his good friend for 6 long years decided to fufill his birthday wish by buying an ipod SHUFFLE for him! I sense a few of you are giggling behind the background but hey it’s still not cheap k. Beside I don’t see any possibilities of his friends buying a ipod MINI for him as well..Haha. At least he can still boost he have an ipod product just like me (I use a ipod shuffle as well btw)

Yuehong is a miser. Yuehong sux big time because he didn’t purchase enough food for his chalet (budget constraint). Yuehong make me go hungry until I threaten to take back the ipod shuffle. But I felt pity for Yuehong because his friends made him drink down cups and cups of vodka. I felt pity for Yuehong because all his friends were there to celebrate his birthday but he was really damn piss drunk to notice what the fcuk is happening. This shouldn’t be the case at all. He is the star for the night. He should be enjoying himself instead of having a pair bloodshot eyes, jerky movement and senseless mumbling for his birthday celebration. I don’t think his friend did a right thing at all to make him drunk.

On my way home from East Coast Park, I saw a road accident involving in a motorbike and a car along Jurong area. The motorcyclist’s belongings were scattered everywhere on the left lane on the road. His motorbike was flung into the bushes. The medics were running towards the ambulance to get medical supplies for the injured motorcyclist. I had a glimpse on him when the taxi I was traveling in went past the spot. His injuries are quite serious but still I hope he will survive.

Before I was enlisted, I have no idea of motorbike at all because majority of my friends drove car. It was only during the Sea Soldier Course in Changi Naval Base when I was formally introduced to motorcycles. I had ridden my friend’s bike a couple of time as a pillion rider. The feeling was great. I enjoyed myself during those rides even though the distance is short. It was very convenient and traveling time was reduced significantly. I even considered enrolling for motorcycles lesson in future after my commander course. My parents found out about me riding bike to my base when I took home my friend’s helmet. They were worried. They scolded, bribed me with $$ to take a taxi instead of bike. But still occasionally when there is no shuttle services available to my base, I still hitch my friend’s bike to book in for duty. Riding a bike is dangerous. All the factors are against you. You will never know when your bike will skidded, when the vehicle beside will suddenly cut into your lane. No matter how safe you ride your bike, it always the Rider VS the Traffic. As you read the newspaper everyday, there is 100% guarantee you can find an article stating an accident involving in a bike. My balls shrink. Suddenly after seeing image of that guy on the stretchers with blood flowing down his neck, belongings strewn all over the road, riding a bike didn’t seem that attractive after all.

I saw too much scenes of unhappiness today for my liking. Today doesn’t seem to be a happy day at all.
