The Thing about Water-Proof Bags

The first ever bag was created in 212 B.C. The earliest form of bag was made from huge tree leaves that serve as a mean of carrying random items.

Ignore the first paragraph. I was too angry and uttered pure nonsense. Besides, who the fuck would care when the first bag was created?

Bags nowadays are made waterproof. This is apparently a good idea cause well, just like what the name suggests, it prevents water from going in. Water which may probably destroy all your valuable porn collection stored in your hard disk placed in your bag.

Smart idea yeah?

But since water doesn't get in, I think it also suggests that water doesn't get out.

I have this habit of carrying along a water bottle with me to school. And this afternoon, I think the bottle cap was faulty (refusing to admit it was me who forgot to close it tightly before) and the cap actually came off, totally.

So what happened was as I was happily walking from place to place, the water was happily coming out from the bottle and filling up my bag, temporary forming a mini swimming pool. I only notice this when I felt water dripping from my bag.

For a moment I thought I was leaking.

And so, I opened my bag and the moment I saw the bottle cap off, and the supposingly full bottle was now half full, 2 words formed in my mind; "Chee" and "Bye".

As I thought, my pen was happily floating about like a kid hitting the waves with a pandan leaf. My first worry was my hard disk and my calculator. An engineer without a calculator is equivalent to a doctor without his nurse. Both require pleasure.

Ok this sounds a bit humsup. Someone will scold me. But hey, this is just a blog. Just joking mate =)

So now I am, back home, unscrewing my harddisk and calculator, plus many random stuff in an attempt to allow mother nature to take over.

We call it evaporation.
