how to get caught by MRT staff

This is how to get suspected to be a terrorist at the MRT station (particularly those with the 'STOP- Security Check' thing where they check your bag)

1) Carry a medium-large -sized bag.
This is almost a must, otherwise it's hard to draw suspicion to yourself. Alternatively you could wear a big jacket, and pretend to have something hidden under it.

2) Wear a cap
Thanks to the overplayed MRT bomb advertisement, youths wearing a cap (and white shirt) are automatically classified under 'suspicious'

Ok step 3 you can do either a or b
3a) COMPLETELY avoid eye contact with the security guard standing at the bagcheck counter, looking everywhere else except for him. Make this as obvious as you can. Do something like go through the nearest fare gate to him then SWERVE to the other side to avoid walking in front of him.

3b) Stare at the guard cautiously as you are approaching the fare gate, then when you are about to pass him look away.

GG you confirm get caught.
(on a side note, there's a shop called GG Flower Services or SOMETHING like that. saw it when i took 80 from payalebar to kovan)

Today after playing mahjong at dan's house (DAMMIT I ALMOST SHI SHAN YAO AGAIN. ONE TILE AWAY AGAIN. Overall made $2+, only didn't win overall cos i threw cheryl's 4/5 dai winning tile twice so cheryl&dan both made $6. think cheryl won by 20cents. darryl lost ALOT. ha. )
i took kovan mrt home. Then .. i was wearing a cap (and a white shirt) and was carrying my blue converse bag which was relatively large cos i had a big towel stuffed inside. Then just for kicks i stared at the guard at the counter as i was walking there, and maintained eye contact for about 3 seconds (which is quite long) , then as i went through the faregate i looked away.

'dui bu qi, ke yi lai yi xia ma' he says. (sorry, could you come over?)

hahaha. kena checked.

He was this old man, probably in his 50s or 60s?
Then the stupid thing was.. he never even check properly! If you have seen my converse bag before you'll know it can open on both sides. (diff compartments for each side) it's a pretty weird design, unlike the normal one where it's just one zip and it opens the whole bag.
So what i did was place the bag on the counter, then open one side to show him my non-bomb stuff. Then he ASKED ME: 'you mei you se me dong xi' (is there anything (suspicious)? )
and i obviously said 'mei you', pulling that compartment open abit more to show him.
I'm telling you, he barely looked, and said:
'OK KE YI LE'

What the hell?! He was just asking me if i had a bomb? oh i SO would say 'yes i have a bomb' if i actually had one -_-
furthermore, he didn't even check the entire bag.

Anyway, i think this security check thing is super flawed and ineffective. Firstly because of lazy guards like that (hey sure you may say he's a pitiful old man blabla but HELLO! BOMB THREAT!? have young vigilant man to do the checks la!)
and next, i can easily think of how to beat it if i ever wanna bomb the train (which i never will. so dont arrest me please )
All i have to do is carry the smallest bag i can that contains the bomb (hello bombs are not all gigarnomous, i'm sure with latest technology they can be pretty small) , then wait till my train is almost arriving. Then just as it says 1 minute or reach already, i quick run towards the faregate and quickly tap through and run down the escalator pretending to be catching the train.
Guards confirm wont stop you la. like what can they say: 'OI STOP I THINK YOU GOT BOMB COME YOU HAVE TO MISS YOUR TRAIN SORRY.'
no right.

That aside, i went swimming today!
Went to bestie's condo in payalebar. As my mom said, the security is quite lousy, both in that condo and basically in many condos in singapore. I think only those condos which need you to tap your card to open the gate have decent security (e.g. Chiltern park, cheryl/yvon's condo)
Otherwise, all you have to do is walk confidently through the main entrance, and if the guard stares at you just smile at him and maintain your stride!
Alternatively, you can act damn pissed off with the world and just walk straight through. (one of my tactics to play pool when i was underage)

Wa i almost drowned in the first 5 -10 minutes.

In case you don't know, i haven't swam in 12938612 years. i never completed any medal/cert when i learnt swimming last time (in early primary school), and when i stopped swimming then i probably swam less than 5 times in the following years (since i was primary 3/4)

So yea, i was pretty much newbie. At first i don't know technique and all, can't even do frog style (breaststroke) . So i was just like. kick legs swing arms, ah shit underwater , quickly grab the side. kick legs swing arms shit underwater already quickly grab the side. repeat.

Then i started to be more adventurous and try to do breaststroke. So i pushed myself off (diagonally, i dont dare to swim across, must stay near to the side) .. swing arms to bring myself above water, take a breath, go underwater.. kick.. GASP WATER ENTER NOSE SPUTTER CHOKE AH HELP DROWN.
-quickly grab the side-
After awhile of this i was quite tired from all the kicking so i just rested at the side for awhile. The guard appeared to be staring at me from his post a distance away, i couldn't tell (wasn't wearing specs), so i just pretended to be relaxing and tanning in case he came over and asked me if i knew how to swim.

So being the strategic planner person i am, i started to think about what i was doing wrong. I figured it was because i wasn't breathing out! i was just breathing in and holding my breath and only releasing my breath above the water, which allowed water to enter when i was underwater.
So this time, i took a breath above water, when i went under i breathed out, then when i came up i breathed in, went under breath out....
omg it worked!

So i happily began to swim longer distances (earlier i was covering about 2 metres and stop, 2 metres and stop), and i even tried to swim across the pool and succeeded =D well of course first i tested the depth, and found a spot where the entire breadth i could comfortable stand up and my head was well above the water. So i swam that breadth.

Then when i went to check my phone cheryl asked me about mj, so i went dan's house to mj lor.

gah gotta prac swimming more.

new bluetooth dongle!

rawr. went to simlim today to buy a new bluetooth dongle (the USB thing that you plug to your com so that your HP can send things to the computer and viceversa)
the old one snapped. Cos my CPU is at my feet, then the dongle sticks out, so sometimes my legs anyhow move then kick it, then at first never break, but after awhile it started to break. It was still working for awhile after it first broke abit, then i kicked it again then it completely snapped.

but i have a new one! so i'm gonna just post all the photos that i've taken . they're quite random, but.. oh well. just SPAM.



super blur pic of me john teehao. cant rem when this was taken, was around when john got his new purple phone. teehao was gonna snap a pic of me and him, then john was like 'eh why you all take pic without me' or something like that. ha.
