All in a Day's Work

Just came back from my introductory WaterWays Watch Society Boat patrol. It was a rather good experience, coupled with chairman Eugene's generous lunch contribution. :P Am looking forward to the first bicycle patrol and the camp at the end of the year. Oh, and you get to come REAL close to the Merlion. Heh... It's amazing how much trash the Singapore River can take, but then again, it was exceptionally dirty today due to the downpour yesterday afternoon, which washed out the waste to the Lifeline of Singapore.

Chlorine Gas Leak ["54 hurt in chlorine gas leak at Safra Club" The Sunday Times, July 10, 2005, Page 3]

Wah, a tear gas attack on SAFRA? Not exactly. Apparently, the contractor 'accidentally poured bleach into a drum filled with hydrochloric acid'. Phew, it could have been me, as I was there just the previous week with Yao Shun. My heart goes out to the affected victims of the harrowing episode.

Now I know why so many Singaporean Muslims wear the Tudung, which is not an indigenous Southeast Asian religious attire, but that of many madrasahs.

There was a little discussion on Zouk and clubbing just now (as we were on our way to lunch). My two cents worth? It spoils your lungs, liver and kidneys. 'Nuff said.

Will be away for the 3D/2N SMU CIRCLE Experience from tomorrow till Thursday.
