Shit Transformation
Posted in Been There Did It, Now I Know, Outing & Event, Sustainable on September 30th, 2007*The following post contains gross images tat might enhance appetite for cool ppl and cause pukiness for the weak, read at ur own risk*
Wat happens when u flush ur shit and urinations down the bowl? face it, most ppl just dun care.. or choose to ignore it and take it for granted tat it’s been passed to those responsible of it. Well, after all, accomplishing a tough task like shitting is very satisfactory for most of us, we just wipe it clean, wash it up and give it a last fart and get out of the toilet like nothing has happened. Sounds familiar? Well same goes for me, just tat.. i got a lil’ more insight to the shitty part..
At least, i’ve seen where the toilet papers has been..

Yupe, this is the mechanical screening part where the papers and trash alikes are being filtered out. Take a closer look and u can see a condom torn apart at the bottom left of the screen, seems to be a glow in the dark one. Tat’s if u are interested to zoom in and see..
And so it moves on to the sedimentation part, simply where the solids and particles tat has more weight sinks and been collected. And those tat remains, well.. floats and produce our beloved cappuccino blended, without too much ice..

If u take a closer look, they are massively overdosed with dark brownie bubbles and floats around with much grace. This is actually the process where organics and nitrogens are removed. Well organics and nitrogens tat u have in ur tummy right now, so pls dun be disgusted of it, it comes from the bak kut teh and fried kuay teow tat u ate (Sorry for those interested to have a close up scene of it, i’ve tried to get as close as i could to do a macro shot)

Probably an angular shot with some sun reflection on the less-bubbly side would make it nicer..
Several additional process like add and removal of chlorine, grease, bacteria then take place, and something tat looks more familiar comes to scene.

I know wat u thinking, but nope it’s not shit. It’s actually clean water (those tat is released to the river), just tat it has some solid resulted from the cleaning and biological process. We tried to throw something onto it, damn curious whether it was hard and soft, and the piece of lil’ wood got stucked right on the yellowish part. Take a closer look at it and u’ll see it stucked there.
And these solid floats are removed and the water is released to the fishes to drink in the river.. Not a too tricky process ei? The whole sewage plant don’t smell too good, but it would be interesting to even get close to the one we have back in Malaysia. With the hot sun and humid air, i bet the smell would be, well let’s just say it’s different.
Hope this didn’t cause too much discomfort, especially when u next drink Milo, take a coffee blended with chocolate cream topping. Take a breathe, close ur eyes and think of the amount of shit u release everyday. And thank the ppl or organism tat’s involved in cleaning up our mess, show some appreciation!
Let’s sign this off with something greener.

Ain’t she sweet.
