Life n Death...

Juz got home from "my" house in pasir ris. Been a long time since i last when there...found out that the guards have changed. The nite shift guard is now a frendly old pakcik...no more tat seriuz indian guy haha...niways, did some cleaning up there haha n yah we starved there haha no food there ah haha...

Niways, we went home at ard 4...and while at downtown east, it started raining heavily so we were stuck there for like 2-3 hours...n so we walk towards the intercgh to take our respectives bus home. For those who are familliar wif the area, u'll noe tat there is a big drain very near downtown east...one of those big longkangs that will be filled up wenever heavy rain occur. Well as we pass it, it was lyk damn filled up wif water. N we cld see that the current was very strong. A tot suddenly came to my mind and without hesitation i asked fadhly and ahmad a qns. U see, all 3 of us are cat lovers and so i asked dem, "if u saw a small innocent kitten drowning in there, wat wld u do?" N both of them answered tat they cld not do anything as they both cant swim...

N i duno if it was juz a coincidence or smth, but juz after they answered we all stopped in our tracks coz we saw smth struggling in the water...at 1st, we tot it was a baby seal...coz it really looked lyk one...but after a few seconds, we realised tat it was a small monitor lizard trying to swim across the drain. And although it was struggling, it looked lyk it cld make it...tats wat we tot...we were standing there kinda supporting it, hoping it wld make it...den it did...it claws or wateva u 1 2 call dem touched the side sloping surface of the drain...but....i guess it was slippery...it just went under...n tat was the last we saw of it....all the hard work down the drain...literally....

Wen i reached home, i went online, and a few minits later fadhly came online too....n he msged me. He said he father was on the way to the hosp due to hernia n he was unsure if his dad was gg to be warded...as far as i noe, hernia is dangerous for adults...hope he'll be ok...juz a few weeks ago he undergo an op due to appendix...

N juz yest, i read that azie's grandfather passed away...n i guess all these juz set me thinking, life is really damn short...it can go away at any moment...damn i got to start enjoying it...
