blown out

Ooh, it seems like someone's out to spoil the market.

I learned of this underground trade during my in-camp time when my mates often stopped by the Yew Tee Industrial Estate on our way to base. Along the main road, you'll see a few Indonesians carrying big red plastic bags standing at the side. So we would stop just next to them, have a quick word, swoop cash for packs of cigarettes, and be off in an instant. A pack of Marlboro red is just a small $5 damage. Very cheap compared to the $11-plus at the shops! And if you don't mind Indonesian-brand fags, they're even cheaper!

Well, well, all good things come to an end. Especially when someone decides to blow the whistle. Tsk tsk. Too bad, ha!
