Goggle Bye-bye

After close to 5 years, it broke. The tiny plastic thingy that supposed to hold the band snapped. And lost somewhere, so it can't be fixed. Gone. After what we've been through together... Jakarta, Plabuhan Ratu, Bandung, Semarang, Bali, Cubadak, Singapur, KL, Bangkok... Sigh. Now I have to find a new swimming goggle.

I really really liked mine -which now has broken, the tiny plastic thingy that supposed to hold the band snapped, lost somewhere, so it can't be fixed or glued. Simply coz it fits nicely, comfortable, easy to adjust and the most important part: makes the pool (or the sea bed) look bright and nice - at least for me. It has yellow-colored lens, that makes everything brighter and warm and less scary. Even in such a gloomy day in Cubadak's water, it still gave me a nice warm view of schools of pomfrets (and dozens of sea urchins). Gives more yellow on everything. Just like scenes of CSI Miami.

And sadly this model has been discontinued.

I laughed. A happy laugh, not hysterical nor cynical laugh. The laugh you have when you were a boy and you -unexpectedly- have found your favorite matchbox car in side your school bag that was lost for months and you have given up looking for it in the last couple of weeks. That kinda laugh.

Nope, I didn't found my precious matchbox car otherwise the title should be 'the long lost beetle' or 'dude, i've found my car'. No. So, I laughed (discreetly, not to scare other shoppers) when I found this pack (refer to the pics), siting nicely side-by-side with slik-tofu in chiller in Mediya supermarket.
Questions popped out. Could it be the one? Could it be true? Looks like it, but location wise -if it is- it is out of place... but could it be? Maybe, what. Anything can happen.
You wouldn't know unless you try.
So we bought it.
Opened the pack and ate it.
And it wasn't it.
