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...

What Do You Think?

What makes a good leader? Some will say a good leader is someone who can bring the best out of his/her people. How do you bring the best out of his/her people? Some will say by giving pointers and guidance.  How do you give pointers and guidance? Some will talk. In fact, most will just talk.  I think a good leader should be someone who walk the talk, not just talk. A good leader gets his/her hands dirty to show his/her people the way. Some may say this is spoon-feeding. I think otherwise. For example, if your staff ask you for guidance on work, most bosses would dispense some wise words, "Do this, look out for this, highlight this...". At the end of the day, the staff will come back to the bosses with the work and bosses will say, "no no, do this, not that". I would think a good leader should draft out the frame on the actual work (may it be slides or documents), then dispense his words of wisdom. The staff will do his/her thinking along that frame and f...
