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. :-)

If you have it, just flaunt it.

Its such a lousy day, I have decided to blog another entry. Yesh, I am thinking about things other than my last two papers on Thurs and Friday. Something probably talked alot before by many people... What is it with men and women with 可爱-oooii *杨丞琳's voice* face, long tresses, slim legs, curvey body, in revealing tight clothes (only for those with the former characteristics), in pink. Why are men so attracted to those features? The guy is lying if he says he will not turn his head when he sees women with those features. I think it has nothing to do with men being lustful or anything disgusting. It probably has something to do with the genes, the hormones. I don't believe it has to do with things like its men's nature instinct to look for partners who can reproduce blahblahblah. That's so boring! Its something mysterious, something that let men derives pleasure by just looking openly, without doing anything bad or harmful or immoral. Do women ogle at men all the time too...

Saturday Afternoon Routine.

I just got back from the Saturday tuition sessions. It has been almost 5 months since I started.I have two classes of primary school children, P4 and P3, taking Maths and Science, and English, respectively. It has become a Saturday routine. A energy-draining activity. It is somehow different from giving volunteering tuition. When you are paid, the responsibility seems greater. And if you ain't doing a good job, someone else is readily available to take up yours. The fact that I really need that money, I have to put in more effort. Some students have left, and some have joined. I'm not sure whether they left cuz they think I ain't good 'nuff for them. But there are some who seem really happy and appreciative to have me around. On my first lesson, I set the ground rules for my classes. I told them my expectations on their behavior. On boy, how naive I was. They are only nine or ten, they don't understand the significance of those rules. After a couple of lessons with ...
