Hawaii 5 Seconds

One of the posts i had wanted to write about for quite a long time now has to be the mat surfer phenomenon. You can see this strange sub culture of youths whenever the sea meets the sand in waveless Singapore. Frankly speaking, being a surfer in a surfless land is rather pointless. You will feel like a bottle of gel owned by a bald man. Nevertheless, these defiant buggers still try.

A surfer would usually have to paddle his way out to sea to have enough space to ride the waves to shore. Following which, he will enjoy himself. very much. Like so.



The mat surfer has a challenge to face. The waves come up to his ankles. So what this poor bugger does, is run nearly parallel to the sea, jump on his board and if he's lucky, catch one of these ankle waves before his board slows to a stop and he literally sinks into the sea. Get up, retrieve plank of wood and repeat. These mat surfers really get to enjoy themselves when a patrol boat happens to zip across. Come on lah, even the bloody wave pool at Chua Chu Kang Stadium makes bigger waves. Bunch of idiots. Why don't you guys do something more useful instead. Like building a sampan from scratch, and then killing swordfish in the sea.


Another fruitless surfless day for Saidon and his wooden board

Diary-x collapsed and all my archives vanished, never to be recovered again. Of course I was a little sad. So after much thinking and much more procrastination, I decided to start blogging again. Campuscapers is back, with the same elements. Me being lazy and inconsistent. No sleazy backgrounds of skinny lesbian models kissing and no mouse cursors farting sparkling things.
