Sidetracks; THE DRAIN PEOPLE!!! THEY ARE EVERYWHERE!!!

Well, most of you that weren't there to see it for yourself must be wondering what the hell are those people doing in a drain, well all will be explained shortly. It all started with a planned outing between me and sharmin, (vanessa could have come, but she had her difficulties :S) well, we wanted to play basketball, so I took us to the nearest I knew, but that court was occupied with irritating pros and durians (ah lians). I knew of another court, but it was rather far, but sharmin seemed fine with it, so we went ahead to the other court. To get to the court, we had to go through the park, so this is how the story of the drain came along. We were walking, when we came to this drain, and we noticed that people were in there, I said it was nothing new, as I have cycled past there and have seen people down there before, but I could only assume that they were looking for fish or doing fishing, because I never really stopped to take a good look. Well, this time I did, and what a sight it was. The people there, WEREN'T fishing! They were actually collecting drain water for who knows what. Furthermore, if it were to be for drinking, is it even edible?! Didn't the water come from, let's see, THE TOILET?! Anyway, we even saw some bikers sitting in the drain with the water pouring down on them, whilst they chatted and laughed, my eyes could only grow as large as golfballs, as I was incredulous at the sight I was witnessing. Anyway, that's about it for the drain people, could someone please find out what really happened to get those people there? I have ideas:
1. They are poor people, and have to resort to save water by using the drain's water.
2. The bikers are there because they saw the poor people there using the drain water and thus thought it might be safe to have the same water pouring over their heads and entering their mouths. (The clinic's going to be rather busy...)
3. The water's clean, and the "drain" had become a local pit stop.
Well, I really want to find out. Anyway, the basketball court that we were headed to was empty, except for some guys playing soccer...in a...basket..ball court... ANYWAY, sharmin and I got to play our b-ball, and she somehow managed to get the ball stuck onto the hoop, it was hilarious, but lucky for us there was another guy around for us to use his ball to get mine down, if not I might have had to use my slippers which is rather "tak glam", since we were surrounded by other people after all. Well, after the game, we both walked to the nearest train station, then there was this great field, and sharmin suggested we cross it to get to the station, but it was a good thing we didn't considering that there was a PATH that led to the station cutting through the field, but it was rather hidden so we didn't really see it till much later. The thought of us crossing the great field, with bugs, and animal waste, whilst others took the safe path was quite hilarious too. Well, in the end, we took our train, and got home. It was all in all a fun trip, but dammit, it would have been more fun if 'someone' came along. *looks at that 'someone' really dangerously...* xD Alright, so that's it for this post, and hey, don't forget to give me your opinions on why the hell were the drain people there.
