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. :-)

I Will Be Back With More Time.

It is more than two years since I last blogged! Not that nothing interesting happened. In fact, plenty happened! Shifted house, shifted office, boys grew, had Hand Foot Mouth Disease (ouch!)! Just to name a few. There were gains and losses. Life's ups and downs. Of me, and those around me. I haven't been doing much deep thinking and thus less writing. Not enough time? That is probably an excuse. But it is true that I have not slept well for quite awhile. It is hard to explain the stress from work, where nothing goes smooth, and every step forward is a hurdle. Technology also had made it simple and addictive for us to mindlessly share. Share our thoughts in bits and pieces. Forming persona of ourselves to acquaintances and friends I hardly meet anymore. I remember experimenting with Tumbler, finding ways to post once, publish everywhere. It didn't quite work out. Even when technology made it is so easy, I have not been diligently editing and uploading photos of my darlin
