What A Enjoyable But Tiring Weekends For Me..


For the past 2-3 days (Saturday & Sunday), it has been a enjoyable moment for me..

Lets come to Saturday first..

Morning i went back to VE as usual to settle some stuffs (in the Green RP T-Shirt somemore). After which i went to Somerset MRT there for the "Vote Against Littering" duty from 1pm to 3pm.. Upon reaching there, all of those people on duty there would have to either wear on the poster thingy over your body or to just take the so-called voting box to create awareness among the public and to approach them and ask them whether they have any unwanted phamplets (or any leaflet) that they don't want and just throw or "vote" into the "voting" box.. lolx.. Then we just stationed around the covered walkway linking from Specialist Shopping Centre to Somerset MRT Station. Halfway through got 1 Indian guy keep on "diao" us (meaning stare at us) and in the end he just shouted us (which i dunno what exactly he had shouted or scolded us) and we just ignore. After that my area IC, Clinston Tan, just told us if he came to approach us and scold us, he will explain to him everything.. All in all, i find that this CE activity is actually quite fun, although i feel tired after that..

After which i took bus service 106 to proceed to the Old Clementi Bus Interchange to meet up with Bing He. Halfway throughout the journey, at Buona Vista, i saw a B9TL on bus service 196 and i just alight and hope to that B9TL bus, since Bing He told me he gonna reached Clementi a bit late.. So i just take bus service 196 to kill time, as it make a longer trip to Clementi via Dover Rd and AYE..

Upon meeting him, we went around the Old Clementi Interchange (i.e outside the Interchange) and took lots of photos of the buses and also the surrounding area as this is going to be the LAST time we are going to do that before it ever MOVE to the new Clementi Temporary Interchange and the old one being demolished because it has to make way to build the Singapore 4th Air-Conditional Bus Interchange, together with the surrounding building (HDB and shopping malls) which will be undergoing Selective En-Block Scheme.

After which we went on to the nearby bus stops near the Old Interchange and took photo of buses till at night before we went for dinner at Holland Village and went home after that.. Take night shots of bus photos very hard to get a "more perfect photo".. So much so that we even had to sit or crawl down at the concrete floor which is a short distance away from the bus stop..


Now come to the Sunday part..

Morning i went for my Wushu training at Zhenghua CC as usual.. Wan Sin's not coming because of her eye problem, so i have to solo take charge of those naughty little kids.. Lets talk a bit about Wushu first.. Well, for me, i don't believe in scolding them because after all they are young kids (those around 4 to 8 years old) and they should be treated well.. I just don't like to leave a impression to those young kids that i'm a person who is damn (2x) fierce and keep on scolding them.. I will do my best as far as possible to guide them well, show encouragement to them as how my sir (Mr Kuik) treated us (Me, Wan Sin, Darren, etc etc..), smile to them more often, give them my cheerful and happy face, to make them feel that they enjoy themselves over there.. Some of the kids even bully me (in a form of joking and fun way) and i don't even scold them at all.. After all they are just small little cute and adorable bunch of kids. I will tend to put myself into their shoes (as to how they feel, etc..) whenever i coach/teach/guide them, and to try to make the training for them as fun as possible and not being fierce to them.. ;-)

Finished my Wushu training, i went to Bt Panjang Plaza MacDonald to have my lunch and went home to get myself refreshed by bathing and changing my attire before i went out to meet Bing He again at the bus stop near my house.. After that, we went over to the same place as where the 2 of us went on the day before (which is around Clementi Bus Interchange).. Upon reaching Clementi, we saw a unidentified VSO with no advertisment on bus service 7, and guess what, we rush to the wrong direction to chase after that bus for photo.. Haiz.. but never mind, we proceed on to take bus photos around there.. After some time, we felt a bit sianz already, and then we took bus service 154 to Boon Lay Temporary Bus Interchange to take some photos and to take a short break and Bing He also went to Jurong Point to buy batteries for the later trip to Tuas Bus Terminal..

Okie.. After everything's settled at Boon Lay, we took 194 to the bus stop outside Jurong Birdpark and took photos of buses of service 194 and 251.. After for about 1 hour ++, we took 194 back and went for toilet break before we set off towards Tuas Bus Terminal.. We took a service 193 VO2x and surprising the journey took abt 10++ less minutes as expected from Bing He.. Reached Tuas Bus Terminal close to 7pm and we snapped evening and night shot bus photos of bus service 192 and 193 for about an hour before a SBST Bus Captain went over to ask if we wanna continue to stay on taking photos, den we said don't want because next day got school.. So after that we hopped on to a OAC DM Merz on Service 193 back to Boon Lay and the bus captain chatted with us on his bus.. After that the both of us went to Jurong Point MacDonald and have our dinner and also to exchange all the photos that we took on the day and also some additional photos from him.. When we settled our dinner and everything, we took bus service 187 (TIB843S, aircon at least not damn bad..) back home.. I stayed on until i reached my house there whereas he alighted and transfer to bus service 852 at Bt Batok..

Okie.. That's all for my weekends.. Overall a enjoyable but tiring weekends for me.. ;-) Will update with you guys when i'm free.. Cya guys around ;-)
