Simply Lousy.

This is f**king ridiculous. SBS Transit bus service is bl**dy lousy! I had to wait for three buses before I was shoved up the bus by the crowd behind me. There were many others who gave up at the bus stop. Each of the three buses was filled to the last person at the door step. And the amazing thing was that each bus was smaller than the usual one. Perhaps shorter by around one to two metres. I read from a sign on the bus that each bus was licensed to carry only 51 passengers. -yeah right- The number of people waiting for 92 at any moment during the peak hours was probably more than that.

I noticed the arrival frequency of 95 was much higher than 92. The 95 buses were normal-sized and mostly half filled. It is the school holidays in NUS now, that explained why less people were taking 95. But its no holiday for folks working in Science Park lorh. Shouldn't they plan more buses for the 92 route during peak hours? If there were not enough resources, move one or two buses from the 95 route. And for goodness sake, use a NORMAL-sized bus lah. I can't help but feel angry about the lousy service we get despite the ever increasing transport cost of our so-called world-class transport system. The decision makers should start taking trains and buses to work, get squeezed against the doors and realise how LOUSY our transport system is.

Yeah. You are absolutely right! The science park bus service is super packed. It takes you more than 40 mins (during peak hour) to travel from science park to bouna vista mrt because of the heavy traffic jam and long waiting time.

The Bridal Dowry.

The delivery of dowry ( 送嫁妆 ) is another important custom. It represents parent's effort for her daughter to have a good life after marriage and prepare her with the necessities for being a good wife. I am amazed by some of the things included in the dowry. Of course, in our modern living, we will not be using some of those things... Nevertheless, I think it is all good to have them, as each item carries a good meaning for our blissful marriage. :-)

Resolutions 2012.

While my one-year-old is going for his first steps, I am also learning to walk (again). 2011 was full of ups and downs.  I was promoted for the 2nd time in my first job. Not fantastic but not bad either after six years. The challenging issues justifies for the few more dollars increment to the stipend. Murphy is my good friend. With only the final milestone left, I hope to overcome all odds and pull the rabbit outta the hat in 2012! If I am lucky, I may run another project.  For the consecutive year, I expended all my medical leave. After hearing my story, some may say 父爱是伟大的. Some may think I was pure clumsy. As my son likes to watch basketball playing, I decided to show him how to do it myself. At first I felt good, I got it plenty of shots. Unfortunately, I broke my ACL while chasing after the ball. It has been two months and my knee is still weak and hurts occasionally. I plan to go for surgery in 2012, while performing the balancing act of pulling the rabbit and recup...

The Last 24 Hours, Twenty-Twelve.

It is becoming a tradition. This is the fourth time for me. This year, two new companions joined me for this journey in the last 24 hours of 2012. As usual, is only for a few hours in the afternoon. But I like the sound of it, "last 24 hours".  It started out in 2008 for me, a ala    Eye é City . For the record, it was another rainy new year's eve. We started our journey at Thian Hock Keng, Amoy Street and ended at Raffles City Shopping Centre. It was interesting for me as it was my first time to Thian Hock Keng. This year, instead of posting the photos here, I have uploaded them to my Flickr account . The photos look better there as I don't have to reduce the size of the photos for this blog. I will re-edit the past photos and upload them as well when I am free. Who will join me next year? You can sign up now!
