Volvo Mk 4 WA Strider on Service 186!!!Yes.. I don't know whether can this be considered as rare or not, but it's confirm UNCOMMON.. Somemore it's that joker(SBS2625K) who has just left service 21 fleets and it's currently a spare bus that runs around on AMDEP bus services. Well, last minute, i decided not to go for my usual Wushu training and decided to rush for this joker instead.. Went to St Michael Terminal to ask the staff over there for the timing of that joker, and with this timing, i went to rush down all the way to Shenton Way.. Have to get to there before 10pm because it departed from Shenton Way terminal at 9:58pm. One more thing, the bus i took from Bt Timah Rd to St Michael terminal (SBS1831M of Service 186), actually that joker was RIGHT INFRONT OF the bus i'm boarding.. Haiz.. In the end, managed to ask the driver of that joker's permission for taking photo and he say he need to rush because of his schedule on his duty timesheet, so i just told him that i would alight at the bus stop where there's people boarding to take a quick photo. After that, luckily that joker stop at the traffic light junction along Cecil St because of red light, and i quickly place my camera on the ground (road/floor) to take a few shots before that joker moved off.. Phew.. Finally get that uncommon shot and i posted it immediately to the bus forums when i reached home..
SBS2625K on Service 186. This joker, has becoming a spare bus that runs around on AMDEP services.
Now comes the school part.. Yes, we took some photos after school inside our class.. And i shall let the photos do the talking.. Lolx.. As usual, i also get to play mahjong with my classmates in class for today.. Sooner or later i might get addicted to it man.. Lolx.. But anyway, we just only play for the sake of enjoyment, and not gambling ah.. Lolx.. As gambling is also illegal in RP.. ;-)
Lazy to put down the captions of the photos below.. Quite a number of it.. Enjoy =) Photographer of the day was Irna =) Thanks Irna for helping us to take all these photos below =)

Another boring day BUT with mahjong, sianz ==> not sianz liao..Yea.. Another boring day.. Cognitive Lesson.. At first, my mood isn't really there for doing work.. But, when my classmates said that they wanted to play mahjong later, my mood slowly become positive, which is good for the day.. Haha.. Nothing much to say for today, except with evidence taken by Yin Min which i'm going to post below. "Picture speaks a thousand words" --> Sounds familiar? Lolx.. And also as usual went out to the same place as yesterday with Hong Sheng to study at night.. Lolx..

The Day I Skipped Maths Lesson..Yes.. and it falls on Monday.. As usual, went out from my house at the usual time that i went to school, but instead of going to school, i went out to some other places instead.. As usual, went to meet some of my bus enthusiasts who are currently having their school holidays.. Monday blue deployments as usual, at Tampines Int.. Photos i would post later before i end this blog entry.. After going to Woodlands --> Tampines --> Hougang --> Tampines, i went back home for dinner and at night i would go out to Bt Panjang Plaza MacDonald to study for the coming Science UT with Hong Sheng. We reached there at about 9pm, and we first did our RJ before studying for Science UT. At about 9:58pm, i told him that i'm going to rest for about 5 minutes and asked him to wake me up at 10:05pm. In the end, i was sleeping like a pig with "cute" snoring sound and he told he that people who walked past us, most of them laugh at it.. Haiz.. I did such a disgrace thing in the public.. Lolx.. In the end, i woke up at a few minutes before 11pm and we just packed out stuff and went home at about 11pm.. Okie that's all for the day..

Sunday again..Yea.. Sunday again.. Same thing in the morning.. Wushu class.. This time i took the yellow belt for warming up and do some training (exclude going through the pattern with them). Already before going through their pattern i already cannot tahan le.. Yellow belt le still want to make me shout and scold them.. Haiz.. But never mind, they are still kids after all.. Lolx.. All very young age one..
Okie don't talk about Wushu anymore..
Next, after going back home for bathing and lunch, i went out to meet Bing He at Bt Panjang before we went to National Library to use our laptop.. Today really not much of photo taking because we spent a lot of time in National Library using laptops to settle our stuffs..
After which, we just tried for a few night shots there and we went to Long John Sliver at Bugis before we took bus back home.. As usual, my service 960 bus was very packed to the brim when it reached Little India there.. Serve them (SMRT Buses) rights.. This is what they will get when they are too desperate to cut down the number of buses for Sunday's shift, and also 'downgrade' from bendy bus (long bus) to rigid bus (single deck, 12m bus). No choice, we, the public have to bear with it.. Long waiting time + single deck bus for 960 packed to the brim.. even bendy buses also packed full to the brim.. Okie don't wish to say anything much le.. Just gonna end this blog entry for now ba..

Paul's Birthday..Yea.. Today's Paul's birthday!! And 1 more day to Yan Xiang's birthday too!!
We were supposed to meet at Greenridge KFC there at 11:30am, in the end, as usual, i reached there on time, but then the rest of them would be late as usual.. Lolx.. After everyone reached already then we went to Pizza Hut for our lunch, which is all the time our so-called traditional style, what we used to do last time.. Had a nice meal and we proceed to Zhen Sheng's house to play.. Till about 4 plus then some of them had to leave early, and left only me, Zhen Sheng, Paul, and Lucas.. In the end, Paul and Lucas left first and left only me and Zhen Sheng, and i waited for him to get himself ready because he also need to proceed to town (Orchard) to meet up with his poly classmates, and me, proceeding to Hougang Int to meet up with Bing He..
Reached Hougang area at about 7 plus, and i actually stayed at a bus stop at Hougang area and took photo of SBS9845X of Service 161, the VSO with Tiger Beer ad which is very unique from the rest of the normal advertisment.. It's unique because the both sides of its advertisment will have those kind of lighting or glow-in-the-dark effects. After taking tat photo, i went over to Hougang Int to meet up with Bing He and we took Service 101 down to a nearby Neighbourhood Shopping Centre and had our dinner there (Long John Sliver). After that we just called it a day and we went home straight..

My 1st Day In Semester 2 That I Skipped Lesson in RP..Yea.. In another words, i pon ten school on that day.. The day where my class was supposed to have Culture lesson.. As usual, i set off from home in the morning, about the same time as i went to school, and head to Woodlands Regional Interchange (WRI) as usual. After that i headed to Hougang Int to meet up with Bing He and Kenny for breakfast at Hougang Mall MacDonald, took out my laptop ans use for a while for MSN and my school stuff since the weather seem too bright and hot at that time and the fact that we felt a bit restless early in the morning... Next, we took some bus photos at Hougang and we took bus to Yio Chu Kang (Kenny alighted halfway due to his lecture at abt 11:10am). After that we went to Bedok to take some photos there.. Then here comes the big rain, and we took service 168 and later 962 to Sembawang (Sun Plaza) to have our lunch there.. After which met Hafiz and once he settled his lunch also, we went back to Bedok and took service 229 to somewhere along Bedok area (can't say the road name etc cos i unfamiliar with that place..) to take night shots photo and have our dinner there.. By that time, Kenny joined us again (after his lecture ended). Okay lah.. Not bad at least got some cameos which we managed to successfully capture the photos.. Hafiz left us halfway through till about 8pm because he needed to reach home early.. We stay till close to 9pm and we returned back to Bedok Int and guess what? According to the arrival timetable TV for SBST, the next bus for service 7 is none other than that joker again, SBS7363H. After knowing it, we quickly took another bus service to somewhere down along the road where service 7 also pass by there, and we waited for that joker to arrive. I was being given the task to ask the Bus Captain(BC) something while Bing He & Kenny tried to take the photo of it, and i just boarded the bus for about 3 more stops. I also never expect the BC to allow me to take photos when i asked him, and he just kindly asked me where i want to take the photo and i place my camera on the floor at the bus stop and took photo of it. Although a disappointing shot for me (Because my night shots expectation for myself is very high), but i still wish to thank the BC for allowing me to take this photo which i will post below. That's all for the day...

First Time Experiencing A Live Soccer MatchYea.. Indeed first time sia..
At first today in school, my mood was not really there for doing the problem statement.. But then, with my classmates around giving me moral support, my mood somehow went up a bit, because yesterday i skipped lesson ma.. Lolx..
Today my class steady ah, really go order pizza (Canadian Pizza) during the 1st breakout.. Today's science problem was all mainly based on worksheet sia.. Haha.. No need to do much research.. Today actually i'm pretty slack, never research anything.. Somemore during 2nd breakout (lunch time) they used my laptop to "telecast" a movie called "Hot Shots". This movie was so damn funny lo.. Make everyone in the class keep on laughing.. Lolx.. The day goes on very well until after class finished.
After which also steady ah, went with 1 of my W26L classmate, Yan Hui, to accompany him to watch a soccer match @ Toa Payoh Stadium.. My 1st time experiences.. All sorts of shouting and vulgarities can be seen & heard.. Lolx.. Quite scary for me at first, but after a while, i sort of get used to it le.. Haha.. After the match, we just walked out of the stadium and proceed to Toa Payoh Int and took bus home..
Overall, i really enjoy my day well for both day and night, and i think it's worth it ;-) Before i end this entry, i shall post a few shots that were taken today.
[watch out for this space for photos that were taken in class because it's with Yiling...]

From a boring Saturday to shocking Saturday..Morning was a boring one for me at home as usual.. Went to Bt Batok to meet up with Bing He and we took a svc 187 ELBO. Must say many thanks to that particular ELBO, TIB834T. Later u will know why is this so..
Okie.. We took TIB834T to Woodlands, initially was to go to my poly to watch the martial arts competition and use laptop in my poly.. But.. As we were approaching Woodlands Int (WRI), Bing He saw something very outstanding parking at WRI, and guess what? IT"S A WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE BUS (B9) on SERVICE 161!!! SBS7319L. Well, after spotting that, our plans IMMEDIATELY changed. (which is to chiong for that B9!!) At WRI, both of us started to spread the "shocking" news around, machiam spreading like virus.. Haha.. In the end, i managed to get to meet some of the seniors that i never ever seen before through this, which is pretty good for me =)
Starting from WRI at about 12 plus in the noon, me and Bing He took that joker B9 on svc 161 FULL trip to Hougang Central Int (HG Int). Zhi Ping met us along the way at Sengkang.. Before the bus reached to the bus stop that Zhi Ping's waiting for, Bing He took out the rear desto of its perm service 147/147A from the side of the bus, and he placed it at the front upper deck left of the bus with 147A desto, and he intentionally pointed with his finger the svc 147A desto.. Down there i keep on laughing away.. Zhi Ping was like -_- lo.. lolx.. After that, we ride on that B9 all the way to HG Int.. After that managed to meet more people along the way.. and in the end, for me and Bing He, we have completed FOUR (4) FULL trips without any food.. It's a looooong story though so i shall not say more.. lolx..
After everything, Bing He, Zhi Ping, Darryl, and me decided to head to VivoCity for dinner and to relax ourselves by exploring to various places within Vivocity, including the big old ship which i forget what's the name for it le.. In the end, we enjoyed ourselves over at VivoCity, after a long day going after that joker B9 on svc 161.. I shall post some photos which i managed to capture.
SO unlucky it happened to be in big rain, and we are so desperate until even the rear desto we also took down and take photo as an evidence.. Somemore it didn't operate as a full day shift, so no chance for night shots.. sobx..
candid shot with svc 161 desto on upper deck of that joker B9, SBS7319L..

SBST AMDEP made my day went well ;-)In the morning, i was not able to concentrate well in class due to something that happened to me on Thursday.. But all thanks to my classmates who cheer me up in school, my mood went well by at least a bit.. Took some photos with ahkbar, alfi and hong sheng too (see hong sheng's blog for photos and comments cute comments too!). After school went with 2 of my W26L classmates (yan hui and jun jie) to Bishan J8 MacDonald to do our assignment and makan.. In the end, network connection kena technical problems and after that we just chilled a bit at J8 before i went after the 2 VSOs on service 55. (SBS9841G, perm on service 133; and SBS9848M, perm on service 25). Managed to ride on SBS9841G on service 55 until I reached the bus stop @ Still Rd South and took photos of that 2 VSOs. After which i went home via service 966 to Marine Parade, transfer to service 48 to Bugis, and service 960 back home.. Below are the 2 photos that i managed to capture.
