My Unique Hobby: Bus


Greeting to all readers, i wish to put aside about my previous 2 entries and talk about something else. Ever since my friends (school friends especially, ZSS) knew about this hobby of mine, they tend to think that this is very wierd, strange, crazy, etc.. (Only have negative comments but not the positive ones) Sometimes they even make fun of this hobby of mine, such as attempts to take out my 2 precious files which contain all the records and information i need/have so far, and also my 2 different versions of bus guides for 2006. (Just lost the Mighty Minds version of bus guides some days back)

Okie.. For this, i've put a extremely high tolerance of such acts that you guys here might have done before. But i ever wish to stress out 1 thing, i.e, i still have a limit of tolerance despite the level for me is extremely high. Sometimes you guys here want to call me nicknames such as "bus driver", "bus uncle", etc etc, that is fine for me, i can take it. ;) Some of you guys here want to take out my 2 files and see, go ahead, it's also fine with me, so long you don't try to throw it away can le..

Some readers here might have this question "Why these people will ever want to throw my files away?". For very simple reason, they might think that i'm just too crazy about buses, or the things i did might be a very silly, 'bo liao' act, and all the negative things they can think of.

When it comes to "asking me how to go here and there by bus", this is where i apply my knowledge of the various routes of the various bus services. So far, my knowledge is still very low, as compared to my senior bus enthusiast friends like Jack, Malcolm, Rachel, and many other more...

Okie.. I will list out the bus services that i know so far: (Complete route, partially ones NOT counted)

SMRT: 75, 171, 172, 176, 177, 180, 184, 187, 190, 700/700A, 858, 882, 925, 927, 950(till WDL causeway coz i don't have a passport to go M'sia), 960, 962, 963, 965, 969, 970

SBST: 160 & 170(till WDL causeway), actually i don't know much about it coz i live in areas where it's dominated by SMRT Buses, surrounding me are all also SMRT ones, Choa CHu Kang, Bt Batok, Yishun and Woodlands..
