im looking to spend lots of money again
1. new boots for ulti. 80 sgd.
2.
epiphone eb-3. schweet. 750 sgd.
3. tusa bcj 2100. light. cheap. just like spiderpig, does whatever a bc does. keeps you from drowning in choppy water. keeps you from impaling yourself to death on nasty sea urchins. helps you hover motionlessly in the water so you can stare at mandarinfish mating. 1000 sgd.
4. tusa xpert zooms. to replace the one fin that dropped overboard in the ph. love them. the buckle's useful when you're encased in a hot neoprene wetsuit with a 10-kg tank on your back that keeps bonking you on the head, 12 pounds round your waist, 4 tubes shoved god knows where, and you're scrambling overboard for the 100th time to mock-rescue idiots who try to drown you by batting your mask off your face, grabbing your air hose, and poking you in the eye. yes. still ---- about the snorkel w-- sent down to the deep brown gunk of pulau hantu. and the split fin gives more power for less effort. black, of course.for the added cool factor. 175 sgd.
5. swimming lessons.
6. the english muff'n pedal by electro-harmonix. won't bore you with the technical details-- suffice to say that two vintage glass tubes run the sound through an analog compressor to give you a meaty growly bass that's supposed to sound like a million demonic bucks. 360 sgd-- ka-ching.
7. clothes and other bullshit for clinics. 300 sgd. shit. i really hate shopping for clothes.
nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight
got to kick at the darkness till it bleeds daylight

to be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best night and day to make you like everybody else means to fight the hardest battle any human being can fight and never stop fighting.
