Today's sunday was super sunny! That made me perspire like mad for the whole day.

A well spent sunday nevertheless.
For the first time in months, I went back to the usual place between the goalposts. Cant say I'm pleased with myself but still rusty after handling a soccer ball with my feet instead of hands. Guess I'll stay in that position that I've been playing for since secondary school eh? =)

I went down to the Lee Kong Chian reference library (National Library) to look up charts for this Saturday's fishing trip. Kinda nervous about fishing in the open sea especially when the yacht club is near the anchorages. So anyway, other than browsing through the charts, I found the report on the commission of inquiry on the drilling ship Eniwetok that tangled up against the cable car lines back in 1983.

The report stated that a cable car was oscillating so violently that it did one complete somersault and three people were flung out of the car.

My God....two of them were killed but the third, a 22 month old baby survived. 

Somehow that report served me as a stark reminder of the danger that boating/shipping possess. The fact that we should always never compromise little things that could endanger anyone including ourselves. 

Goodness, the thought of that report is still stuck in my head. I felt so different after reading it.

God willing, nothing shall arise from Saturday's trip even though we'll be just off the coast
