This title is an inspiration from Mervyn. LOL.

Yesterday I went to watch Forbidden Kingdom (Loose plot, but a few smarty pants plot twists thats quite good) and then I went to have lunch at Red White and Pure (Duck Breast $18, Royal Orchid Tea $7.50, Pure Mineral Water $3.20) I swear I cannot take too sweet a thing. Plum and apple just isn't in my palette.

My journey to NP was the peculiar one. As my best friends would know, I make decisions based on the throw of the dice, as always. I asked for the guidance of Fate, when I was at the bus stop, whether I shall go to the washroom anot (I have drank lots of tea and mineral water beforehand). The coin flip says no. And as Fate has decreed, the bus 61 came almost immediately after the coin flip.

As you guys may not know, 61 from Vivo to NP is a very, very long journey, maybe 1 hour. As the journey goes on, my bladder gets fuller and fuller. My alter ego taunted me, saying that I will pee on my pants any time soon. As the journey goes on, I was looking for a place to alight, for I cannot hold on much longer: the bus driver's driving was erratic, not very conducive for pee holding. I looked for a place to alight, but to no avail: It was wilderness and construction sites, or HDB holdings.

Finally, salvation! I was at Bouna Vista, Holland Village area, and there was a kopitiam! I eagerly pressed the bell when I saw the place, but the bus won't stop. It continued on for 300 metres, reason being there was no bus stop there. I cursed at my bad luck. I looked from the bus and saw, 200 metres infront was the charactristic Holland V shopping centre with Cold Storage. Is there a toliet there?

I walked 100 metres in front, but the more I walked, I felt the well is gonna overflow. I felt the feeling that even if I reached the shopping centre, there is no guarentee that there is a toliet. I decided to head back to the kopitiam instead. That's almost like 400 metres of excruciating walk with a bursting bladder. I almost died I tell you.

I came to the conclusion:

Actually, its better if I put it in Poem form.

By Lu, Ancient Chinese Stipendiary Scholar of Sung-chiang, used to free a suicide ghost from lingering in the world.

In the wide world
There is no let or hinderance;
Die or come to live again.
Why look for a substitute?
If you want to, go!
What could be easier?

The poem so rang in my heart during that painful times. Every step I took I thought I couldn't make it.
A painful lesson.
