the pacifier

listening to greenday - holiday

watched the pacifier with gwen this morning..

its a movie packed with slapstick humour.. along with a great storyline..

i give it 5 stars!

theres this part in the movie where vin diesel asked one guy to give him a twenty.. this guy hurriedly took out his wallet.. vin diesel had to stop him and ask him to drop twenty..

i know my description sucks.. but watching it in the theatre is really farny.. trust me.. =)

there were only 5 peeps (including gwen and me) in the entire theatre..

no inconsiderate gits kicking my seats.. no ah bengs flashing their modified ultra bright hp lights.. no idiots trying to spoil the show for everyone else by blabbering on and on about whats happening in the movie next..

how nice... =)

a locksmith came to my house today to offer the service of changing the locks of the door and the gate..

we've always been relying on the lock on the gate when we're not in because it looks big and sturdy.. plus the lock costs about a hundred bucks if you were to buy it outside.. so we presume that its safe..

its the kind of locks that HDB fixed for most of the new (around 5 years) flats.. the big and sturdy locks thats stuck to the gate.. the brand name is duro..

looks can be deceiving.. and i realised the danger that we've always been in..

horrifying truth..

the locksmith used a small screwdriver to knock at the metal stick of the padlock lightly..

AND IT OPENED!!

i couldnt believe what i saw so i took the screwdriver and gave the lock a light tap..

it really unlocked.... wth..

the word shock would be an understatement of how i felt there and then..

my family and i would only lock the gate whenever we leave the house.. imagine someone had just come along with a stick or something to open the lock..

hell i wouldnt even be typing now if that happened.. cause my laptop will prolly be gone..

(although its rather sad if someone took my laptop cause he'll go crazy with all the viruses trapped in my laptop.. not to mention the fucking irritating popups.. )

its freaky!

the locksmith took a piece of paper out of his pocket and showed it to me.. its a printout of the straits times forum article.. written by some guy who witnessed the lock being knocked open with a TOOTHBRUSH..

apparently this guy was very upset over what happened.. although the company offered him a brand new lock in exchange..

who wouldnt be.. i mean.. the lock costs over a hundred dollars.. its a given that it should work..

the locksmith proceeded to tell my grandpa and i that most people would have already heard of the news by now..

so we paid a hefty sum to have the useless lock changed at once.. its worth it i guess..

so guys.. check your locks at home.. change it if you must.. its really very dangerous.. you can try to knock it open with a screwdriver (maybe even a toothbrush).. it really will be unlocked..

im still very shocked by this fact..

omg.. *screams*
