Helpers sa Stanley at Repulse bay na maagang natatapos ang trabaho usually nag swimming kahit mag isa. I know dahil isa na ako sa kanila. Pero one time nag cramp Ang paa no buti na lang di pa ako nakakalayo. Since then d na ako nag dare mag isa. Kaya posibleng nag cramp Ang paa nia kaya sia nalunod.
Nag cramp ciguro Ang paa nia. Ingat po mga kabayan . Huwag mag swimming ng walang kasama kahit magaling pa kayong lumangoy.
Rest In Peace kabayan.. Wag mag swimming na mag isa lalo na sa gabi. Always bring a friend to go swimming with you especially at night where there are no lieguards on duty.
Nonsensical Filipinos as usual???? Can you elaborate what do you mean by this sentence mr. Wei kho? Do u mean that filipinos usually has no sense at all? Watch your word sir!!!
