Scene on bus 168, 13 Dec

today happen to have a test at 9am, then everyone seems to chiong to school on bus 168. the first bus was so full that some was standing at the entrance door and we have to wait for the next bus. the next bus was pretty crowded too but i managed to get on the bus with jas, who was already in front of me.

when the bus reached tampines ave 7, regional library bus stop, there was this botak guy with a real shiny head managed to squeeze up the bus, he was shouting at the passengers behind

man: hello!!! please move behind, i want to work!!!!!
man to driver: there 3 people who don want to move behind!!!!
man: hey, you don want to work i want to work!!!!!
man to driver: i WANT to complain!!!!!
man: work!!!! FUCK!!!!!

i was thinking, complain??? complain to who??? to the government? bus company?? because the the people behind don want to move??

then again at tampines ave 9....

man: hey people, i know you all are educated, all students.
man: educated huh, si mi lan jiao ( he really said that, and i was laughing :P )

a tampines ave 10, tampines dormitory...

man: some get off and still don want to move!!!


i don have a good memory but 90% is confirmed correct. i don blame that guy, it true, the sbs transit is not doing enough. the bus frequency is always slow, the bus is always full, especially on test day. we send countless of feedback to the company, but still, the company is not doing enough. adding one or two more buses to the journey surely could ease the problem faced by the RP students.

i cant imagine when i in year 2, when more student comes to RP, the problem would be even more severe. the population for 2007 in RP of 6k students, number of year 1 student is more than the combination of year 2 and 3 student. therefore in 2008, the population was anticipated to be around 8k, 1k come from the east maybe??? somemore our lesson will start on 8.30am, and the bus is always full with all students, i would be late everyday.


now on a major project to restore, rebuild, paint my biggest ship model, CVN 65 enterprise at 1m long, 1/350 series. this was my first ship model 2 years ago. as i was a beginner, i jus anyhow glue all the parts together making it very untidy. so yesterday i went to century square to order more ship models but they don have the stock, so sad. in the end, i bought paints, brush, spray can and marker. i think that that this ship model is the most expensive, the ship itself cost close to a hundred bucks, plus all the paints, decoration, close to 200 bucks, my heart aches....

i still need this to complete the family of US suppercarrier
