Chingay Parade 2007 cum my fucking laptop!Time now is 5:20am, i just happened to start blogging from 4:20am++ and it gave me blue screen a lot of times, so much so that everytime i tried to reboot my laptop, that screen will come up when loading the OS (Windows XP Professional SP2). Now all thanks to my damn laptop, my tiredness is GONE and i no need to sleep for now le.. Btw now i using my house desktop computer to do blogging.. My laptop i can prepare to schedule for repairing @ Acer Repair Service Centre tomorrow which is Monday.
Okay fucking laptop problems aside, now comes the chingay parade. Photos of chingay parade to be uploaded later due to my fucking laptop.. Will upload the photos together with the one which Alan took it using his HP in a few days time from now.. Just to try to cut short because my mood really like Tsunami strike now.. Argh!!
Friday's one was more worst than Saturday's (which is yesterday) one. Let me tell you why is this so.
First, for Friday, we (for me, hS and Yiling station at outside The Hereen) have to do more work than yesterday's one. Our duty as Traffic Management machiam like crowd control like that. We have to entertain all sort of people who tried to cross over to the other side of road at the traffic light outside The Hereen. Most of them either going over to Cineleisure for movies, or going over to those hotels or fitness clubs nearby Cineleisure. They would use a lot of crappy excuse saying they wanted to cross over the traffic light when the road closure already started for the Chingay Parade 2007. The worst thing is when a uncle who happened to be a minister for opposition party in Taiwan, scolding, cursing, and saying that he wanted to complain to our (Singapore) government. Another one which is more worst is when a uncle who just dash accross with the attitude of wanting to beat people. Saturday's one is much more relax for us and we don't really need to do more work.
Okay now than i feel a bit sleepy.. Got yawnx le.. Will update this space again when i got time. Cya!

Yesterday.. Nearly Kena Bee Sting All Thanks To a UNCLE!I was pretty sianz yesterday in the afternoon, and hence i set off my journey to Kembangan MRT Station there for the Volvo B10M Mk 3 on Service 42 since the Dennis Darts are missing from Service 42 for quite a period of time le.. After which took Service 7 (the Singtel bus, SBS2820M, but sianz never turn on... Darn!!) down to Bedok intending for lunch at Bedok Bus Interchange MacDonalds and this is what i saw:
SBS7444H on Service 222!!
And the Volvo B10M Mk 3 on Service 42 @ Kembangan MRT bus stop:
Okay.. Continue with my post.. Yes.. After shooting it with the Canon DSLR (not the one on my pix above cos that one overexposed, or if not 1 side bright 1 side dark), i went for lunch at the MacDonald down there and after that i went back to wait for the B9 on Service 222 to come back to Bedok Bus Interchange. During the process of waiting, i was shooting photos using my compact Fujifilm (lousy) digital and there's 1 particular CHINESE UNCLE who tried to be FUNNY with me.. This kind of people i just LOVE to ENTERTAIN them!!! This time this uncle (as usual with the one i have encountered at Esplanade, that one not taking photo of buses somemore, it was scenery shot instead!) come and "kao bei" with me and ask me whether am i a reporter. -_-"'After that he went on to ask me WHY I TAKE PHOTO OF HIS BIKE when MY INTENTION IS ONLY TO TAKE PHOTO OF BUSES.. Knn!! This one still NEVERMIND!! I told him that i took photo of buses IS JUST FOR MY OWN PERSONAL INTEREST, and he went on to DEMAND me to SHOW him the DSLR Camera to PROVE to this cock person that i NEVER TAKE PHOTO OF HIS BIKE. So he managed to browse through the camera and didn't managed to see what he was supposed to see.. Hahaha! He even went on to tell me that I would create what safety hazard what cock bull shit man.. I was like "1 ear in, 1 ear out" and as he walked off (cross the traffic light back to where he wanted to go), he stared at me, and as usual i stared back at him lo.. Hehehe! This kind of people they want to PLAY PUNK and GUAI LAN with me i can do that back to them also! I'm just like their mirror or reflection. How they treated me, i would treat them back EQUALLY, be it good or bad. :-p Opps.. I forgot to mentioned that the bee sting came in during the period of time when that uncle kao bei at me. The small bee was like flying around me and managed to land on my right hand (near the joint part) for a while before it flied off when i got rid of it. I called Kenny, Isaac and Jack after that to ask about the bee sting thing and luckily i really never kena that bee sting, ELSE the next time such kind of people come and "entertain" me again, my tone will become more fiercer and rebelling. Was intending to proceed to Tampines Polyclinic to see doctor but when i looked at my appointment card, it states that the registration closes at 4:15pm and the polyclinic closes at 4:30pm for weekdays (Saturday's one would be much more earlier, Sundays and PHs worst, closed for whole day). Hence i made my way back home for dinner.
After dinner, Darren came to my house for a game of mahjong with me, my bro and my dad, until Sebastian came in (initially was only to request me to help him scan some photos) and took over my dad's place. We played blackjack and dai dee after that because my mother wanted my brother to sleep early but my brother also hack care one.. Hehehe!! Played till about 11:30pm when we called it a day.

10th Feb 2007: IJC Funfair & Queensway Shopping CentreOn this day, i met up with some of my secondary school friends (those of them who bully me last time in school hah lolx) for the IJC Funfair, cos Wen Xian involved in this funfair for his school ma, then we all go there to support him and to tour around the funfair also.. Then tour until the end of the tour and then Henry choose to go home and rest and not going out with the rest of us (me, Lucas, Wen Xian and Jia Keng) to Queensway Shopping Centre to accompany Lucas to look for his CNY clothes. I was pretty inspired to buy some clothes over there also but i have to budget myself.. Hehehe.. So in the end while Lucas managed to buy his clothes, i managed to buy a paste for styling my hair and the new Adidas ActiveShower for Men. Not bad actually so i bought it to try try. It is the one with the cooling effect and it also stated "Developed with Athletes" which gave me a good impression to use it. :-p Went home after that..

It has been pretty quite some time since i last went out with my secondary school friends (other than the one during IJC Funfair), and on this day, Paul asked me out to somewhere and we just go around the shopping mall and walk walk.. (This case which is West Mall).
After meeting him at Bt Panjang, we took 176 down to a church at Bt Batok, because Paul wanted to go back to see see for a while, and so he brought me for a tour inside the church itself. After which we took 173 to West Mall and Paul's intention for there is to look for his desire clothes for the CNY which in the end he didn't managed to choose his desire ones. Went to arcade for some arcade games and 2 rounds of pool before we set off for dinner at the S11 coffee shop near Bt Batok Bus Interchange. After which we took train back home.. Reached home at about 9 plus in the night if not wrong.. Okay end of summary for the day. :-p

15th to 17th Feb 2007: Photo.Republic IG (RP) Camp for Feburary 2007It has been quite sometime since i last went to camp, and these 3 days i'm going to embark on a camp journey both inside and outside school.
First Day, 15th Feb 2007:
Reached school at about 12 plus in the noon with Wan Ning, then reached the Agora area le we realized that they were still waiting for people.. So lets continue to wait and wait until about 1pm then we kick start off with our activities le..
First is the Ice-Breaking Games, we were supposed to sit in a circle and intro our names around, and after which play a game which we have to say out 3 things anything about ourselves which 2 of them have to be the true one and 1 is the false one.. We were supposed to guess which are the 3 things that the person say is the lie, and so we played around..
After which we bring our bags to W14F and we would attend the Basic Photography Workshop by our school facilator, Justyn Olby. After which we embarked on a journey to Mount Fabar through the school chartered bus for some photo shooting.. After Mount Fabar we walked the road down to HarbourFront when it started raining along the way, and so, we walked together in the rain as a big group.. Haha.. Walked until reached a bus stop along Kg Bahru Rd and we took a break. It's also the time when the rain start to get more heavier.. Then we ate some sandwishes and wait for the rain to become smaller before we continued our journey and we changed our plan to VivoCity instead of HarbourFront. Went there to shoot some photos inside the shopping mall before we WALKED through the basement car park for 1 BIG ROUND to Banquet at Basement 1 for dinner.. And to think that when we took the nearest escalator up to 1st Floor after our dinner, we returned back to the starting point when we stepped to VivoCity.. Yeah.. Congratuations! We have finally managed to walk through 1 big round the basement carpark!! After dinner we went for some night shots outside VivoCity (the view towards Sentosa) before we proceed back to RP (So in the end we never go to St James Power Station due to time constraint and weather which i also don't know where it's and even asked them if we have to go there by SHIP which make them laugh at it..) at about 8pm. We have to reach school early for bathing because RP Sports Complex closes at 10pm everyday and we have to finish our bathing and get out of the sports complex before 10pm. Managed to reach school at about 9pm and we rushed back to W14F to grab our things to put it at the RP Forum area instead (our sleeping area) and we rushed off to the sports complex for bathing. After that we sat down together and talk about various things before we use our laptop for our personal usage and we knocked off to sleep.
Second Day, 16th Feb 2007:
Woke up for breakfast and then we brought our barang barang back to W14F and we were attending the Studio Photography Workshop by Justyn Olby. After attending his workshop then we slacked for a while before going to W14E for Studio Photography practical part. Managed to get some hands-on experiences and after that we went back to W14F to slack and also having lunch with 1 of our Photo.Republic IG Faciliator at W14G before we went back and slack again. So for the rest of the time until 4 plus, we were like slacking with our laptops and for me it will be eat and eat and eat when i have nothing to do. We were also supposed to select at least 5 photos from what we shot the day before and share it to the rest of us.
After which we moved our barang barang back to Forum area and some of us went over to help fill up the water inside a lot of small transparant plastic bags (over 500 bags) for water bomb game later on.. We even went until the extent of taking the bag that they used for umbrellas outside Agora and filled it all up with water.. After which water bomb game started.. Muhaha... We were split into 2 teams and we just throw the bombs around.. Muhahaha!!!
After water bomb games we cleared up the place before we went for bathing at the sports complex and have dinner after that. We also didn't realized that we actually play water bomb game from 6 plus in the evening to 8 plus in the night time. We had MacDonald this time round instead of the rice with egg one i don't know called what arh.. After which we settled down there and Gui Xiang would share with us some of his stories during the times in the old RP Campus at Phoenix Park at Tanglin Rd area, photos included. After which we went back to use our laptops for a while before we went to sleep. For 2 days me and Wan Ning wanted to go to 7-Eleven to buy something to eat but it always hit the time 11pm when they closed store and in the end we onli went there the next day morning (Day 3) for breakfast. Now i think i know why they named it 7-Eleven le.. 7 is the 7am which they open their store and Eleven is the 11pm which they close their store (For those which is NOT 24hrs like RP one). For the rest of the night before i went to sleep, i went to Youtube to search for some scary stuffs to scare myself out.. Hahaha.. And passed the link around but no one wanna watch wahahaha.. I'm crazy and mad le!!! :-p Went to sleep after that which is around 2am.
Third Day, 17th Feb 2007:
Woke up at about 5:30am in the morning, went with some of them to take photo of its sun rise from the top level of RP MSCP (Multi-Story Car Park). In the end, waited since about 6am till about 7:30am we see nothing, and so we have a wasted trip and we went back to the Forum area. At about 8 plus, we see the sun rising from the big pond area and really, the sun is playing tricks on us huh.. lolx.. Some of them just packed and went off while some of us stayed on in school until about 11am because we need to settle some laptop stuffs.. Lolx.. Went home after that by cab with Wan Ning since she stays in my area there also.

18th Feb 2007: 1st Day of Lunar New Year (Very sianz)1st Day of Lunar New Year, damn sianz.. my dad side relative all come to our house.. I was like sian-ing the whole day using laptop and slacking around.. Nothing much to talk about.. At about 5 plus, my parents went out to 1 of my dad side relative house, leaving me, my bro and my sis at home. After dinner, i told my sis and bro that i going out for taking photos, and so i brought the Canon DSLR out and set off to the old RP Campus at Phoenix Park for some photo shooting outside before heading off to Esplanade for some night shots. Upon reaching there, i saw a lot of people and i just walked past Esplanade to the Riverside HongBao event area and shot some photos. As i was shooting photos of the Esplanade carpark signboard which the LED shows "FULL", some people just like to block my way and hence i switch on the flash button and as i tried to use the DSLR and focus, flashes come out and this is used to give people the signal that i'm taking photos and not to BLOCK my way. I hate people who block my view deliberately when i'm taking photos. After that it attracted the police (who patrol the area) and they came to ask me why i taking photos of them when my intention was to only take photo of the view. Never mind, this kind of people i LIKE to entertain one.. That time the TIB820H of Service 67 one also like that, that one more worst, so much so that i have to lodge a complaint against him, that's because he deserves it!!!
After that, as i started to walk off to Esplanade bus stop, i heard the sound of the fireworks, and it's really to my surprise. I quickly rush off to the spot near Esplanade bridge to shoot as many photos of the fireworks as possible. After that then i went to Esplanade bus stop to take 960 back home.

After that also got watch the SKD video and to entertain around first before some of us went to Derek's house. Reached his house le also play blackjack.. This time some of them choose to play big while i remained as small because i don't wish to lose a lot of $$$.. Muhahaha!!! After that some went to their family dinner while me, Melvin, Sebastian and Bernard went to Far East to look for Melvin's stuff and found out that 77th Street never open shop.. Went to Takashimaya for dinner and after that slack outside for a while before heading to Lucky Plaza for pool and arcade game until 11pm before we made our way to the Orchard MRT bus stop back home..

21th Feb 2007: A trip to the old RP Campus at Phoenix Park and Kay Siang RdOkay.. On this day, me, together with some of my Photo.Republic IG people, embarked on a journey to RP's old campus at its current UNSWASIA (University of New South Wales, Asia) campus and its abandoned Phoenix Park..
Will post the photo at a later date as i have something else on later in the afternoon today (22th Feb, to went after the Service 42 12m buses, as the shortie Darts went missing for several days/weeks.)
Went to UNSWASIA one for some photo shooting before we headed to the one at Phoenix Park one.. Me and Gui Xiang headed all the way in Kay Siang Rd there until the point when we saw a dog at 1 of the private estate housings and i managed to attract the dog's attention by pointing middle finger to ask the dog to "come come"!! Lolx... In the end the dog really bark bark and ran towards the gate. Then i was like "oh shit!" and Gui Xiang stopped walking immediately and ask me not to run.. Lolx.. Lucky the owner of the dog asked the dog to come back and we managed to walk back to the main road safely. After which we reached the gate of the Phoenix Park and i made the first move by climbing in through the main rotten gate inside. Gui Xiang and Wan Ning went in after that and the 2 malay gals (I forgot their names le..) went off after that. Leaving the 3 of us, we went to explore around and took photos everywhere we went. At the end of the journey, lucky we never kena caught by the security guards, and we learned a lesson, which is to only enter it during big day like the CNY whereby the security guard taking off day.. :-p Along the way Gui Xiang told us a lot of his stories during the times when they studied in the old RP campus at Phoenix Park. After that we waited for 111 to Peninsula Plaza at the bus stop after Phoenix Park. As we were waiting, i saw a B9 (SBS7392Z) on 132, just past by my bus stop and no one boarding it.. I was like wanting to take out the DSLR to board and shoot it but i think forget it la.. So i continued to wait for 111 with them until it came.
Reaching Peninsula Plaza, we went to look for tripods and realized that many of the shops are still closing for this CNY break, and we went to Funan IT Mall after that to look around. Down there, most of the stores their tripods are pretty expensive, and after that Gui Xiang brought us down to 1 of the nice place to eat. In the end, reached there le only to see the shop closing and we walked back to Funan IT Mall and have our dinner at KFC. After dinner we passed our cameras around to see one another's photos and critique on one another's photos.
After which we took 190 from Hill St back home and end of story.. :-p
Hope to go back to Phoenix Park again if you guys have time!

Time FliesI shall talk about the happening for the past few days the next time i blog again.. Now really wish to blog about something else..
Time really flies very fast and wait for nobody.. 1 year of poly life has passed just like that.. This afternoon, i went out with 1 of my very good secondary school friends, Paul, (in fact is since primary 5) out to West Mall to just hang out and chit chat.. Well, as usual, we talk about our life for the past 1 year etc etc, and also the plan to organize a outing for our secondary school friends as gathering, since we have not met each one another for quite some time due to our own poly stuffs, and i also didn't know until today, when Paul told me that today is also Friendship day other than Valentine's Day.. Interesting through =)
After West Mall/Bt Batok for entertainment, walk around and dinner, he invited me to his house for chit chat.. Happened to browse through some of our secondary school friends' blogs thru his computer, really makes me feel that i have lost contact with most of them, it's like, i can see that they do still keep in touch with one another often but i'm not. Maybe i am just too obsessed with my poly life, and left out my secondary school friends.. Haiz.. It's a good thing that i went out with him today.. Else i think i will be forever being left out of my secondary school friends.. I cannot be like this forever man..
The good old memories with them will always be unforgettable, and at the same time, it can never be come back again, and all the more we should treasure every single moment that we have with one another =) I am really looking forward to our next gathering for my secondary school friends =) Waiting for the day to come!

Friday, February 09, 20071:30 PM
Falling sick..These few days, i have been falling sick.. Just because of the fact that i sleep as late as 2am (usually latest time i slept is about 1 plus) Woke up the next day in the morning which is 2 days back (Wednesday), and immediately, my body suddenly feeling damn cold. Somemore as usually i have to rush off for the 187AM08 (service 187) bus which happened to be a bendy and 99% i can gurantee a seat, but is only for that timeslot at that place only. In the end, never get to chase after that, so in the end i have to wait for service 963 or 966.
Reaching school, i suddenly have the kind of feverish feeling, a bit of headache, and the extremely coldness of my body continues. The problem for the day i also cannot concentrate and focus well, but luckily, my team got talented people like Gienah who would explain to me what's going on and what have i missed while i was resting.
After lesson, i went after a B9 on service 168 and after which i proceed to Vincent & Daniel saloon for booking appointment for hair cut. It has been quite a long time ever since i last went there. (which is during my sec 4 days if not wrong) I went to ask if Collin Huon is around, and i went up to 2nd floor to look for her. (i didn't know that they actually have 2 stories.) She was indeed a damn excellent professional hairstylist, and care a lot to me. (also to all her customers too) Her customer service is the best that i have seen so far, not even the EC/QB house hairstylist can beat her. Although i have to pay $12 for my haircut, i still think that it's really worth the amount of money and services.
Went home after that, take a bath, and my parents brought me to a clinic at Greenridge Shopping Centre to see doctor, and for dinner also. My parents really care a lot to me. Mum went to help me buy the yong tao fu and dad went to help me buy a cup of chinese tea. As my appetite was really damn low at that time, i only managed to eat only a few spoonful of it and that's it for me. After seeing doctor, my parents were also very kind to flag a cab (Slivercab) outside Greenridge Shopping Centre to bring me back home.
Reached back home again, i ate the medicine that's required by the doctor, and after which i rest on the sofa in the living room for a while before i went to sleep.
Next day morning, which is yesteday, my mum forbid me to go out anywhere and asked me to rest at home. I feel slightly better and i went to use my laptop for a while before i lie down onto my bed and rest until my mum came back.
My mum actually bought me the fish porridge and green bean soup for me in the afternoon for lunch, after which i went back to rest.
Now, i'm feeling much more better as compared to 2 days back when my sickness came about, but still, later on after school, i'm going back to office and let my BM do the health analysis check and the electrotherapy also. My throat is starting to give me some problem, and making my throat feel a bit uneasy.
Well, i guess i shall end my entry here le ba.. Hope i get well real soon.. =) Cya guys around!

VEHmm.. Speaking of VE here, i find that i have not always been letting people know that i actually worked there. I always trying to find excuses to reply back to all my friends that i see how first whether i working this coming holiday etc etc.. Actually we go there do business rather than work, got difference one. But still, i ask myself this question: Is it really scary to let people know what kind of industry i'm doing? Yea, i believe a number of you here would have some negative thoughts about this industry, i have experienced it in my previous class (W26L). What i got back are a mixture of thoughts. Some gave me moral support, some have their neutral stand, and some even persuaded me to quit while the dreams i plan ahead is already there. More often than not, they will keep on asking me how much have I earned so far, and from there, they were trying to convince me to quit. It's like they expected me to earn at least a 3-figure sum of $$$ when i have not even put much of my effort in this industry. Even most of my relatives have extremely negative thoughts and 1 of them even made me cried and feeling damn upset. My relatives were saying that i should finish my studies first and then get a "DECENT paying job". Everytime i hear them saying these 3 words really makes me very du lan, very fed-up. Guys, tell me, would i be able to achieve all my dreams if i only continue to stay in this fucking 3 words with the word DECENT? And the fact that the standard of living and expenses in Singapore is getting freaking higher and higher really makes me tempting to ask this question even further.
Really, i do not wish to live in this world full of regrets. All the setbacks in the past are there to make me to become a stronger person (not really say in physical, but in other aspects such as mentally and emotionally stong). I want to live my life to the fullest and achieve all my dreams i always hoping for. Okay write till here le.. Time to go school le.. Cya guys =)

12:21 AM
Continued from previous postHmm yea.. Time now when i write this 1st sentence is 12:22am. Time really flies very fast.. 1 academic year in RP is going to end very soon just like that.. A lot of things happening around us, until i don't really know what to say..
Just now during the 3rd meeting (presentation), i was not really focused on both our team and other teams' presentation because i was busying blogging away. That Cedric Tan even commented that "so focused in my blogging.. if only you could be as focused for my lesson... ". IN my mind i was thinking that "ah, wait long long.. i just can't wait to end this G104 Culture module man.." This time i sure get a C from him again lo.. Haiz.. I think my grades for this Culture module is going to flung.. Now my predicted grade for this module is D+.. I just merely want to get through with this module so that i do not need to worry anything in Year 2 about this kind of module which is not related to my Business Computing course.
Hmm.. This coming holiday, besides going back to school on some days for some school or IG activities, i also do wish to set aside some days for preparing with this module called "Professional Profiling", or "PP" in short. This idea actually came from hS when i also think that i should also set aside some days to settle at least a bit for PP.
Hmm.. I actually find this module pretty interesting, in a sense that all of us have to go all the way to the company or industry that we choose and interview them about their company, and we have to do up a presentation on that. Got a lot of things have to interview the people there. So, if you happen to see me in school wear very formal wear, don't feel shocked. This is because i like the feeling of dressing myself in a very formal wear when i'm doing some things seriously. I believe that by doing that, it also create some sort of motivation for me to be serious in my work, and also to discipline and train myself to be serious and professional whenever i do such kind of stuffs or work. Some people think that i'm more to IT-orientated kind of person, (people like my parents) when i have to admit that i'm more to Business-orientated kind of person. My parents always wanted me and hoping me to go on to IT sector because i have a better interest over there rather than some other sectors such as Business and Science. Actually i chose this diploma in this poly as my 3rd choice is because of Business, and not IT. To me, I learn IT is because i wanted to gain extra knowledges, and not because it's my core interest, as my core interest is Business instead.
Exploring to IT world, everyday we have to face the computer screen for a long period of time, which i don't think it's really do anything good to our eyes. Imagine, even if I feel stressed in this IT world, i'm still facing the computer screens, which can make my head and brain feel very uncomfortable.
Exploring to Business world, I can get to explore the various aspects of business, and get to learn more from different types of business. I find it very interesting to explore more about business. =) And i also do not need to face the computer screen for a long period of time each day and do not need to deal with computers pretty often as compared to IT world. In business, we get to meet our clients, our customers, our business partners, etc etc. We get to communicate with one another and build relations, exchange informations and get to learn from one another. At the same time, it also enforces us to dress in a very smart and formal attire because we have to show and give a good impression to our clients, our customers, our business partners, that we are very serious in our work and to protray ourselves to do things very professionally so as to earn other people's respect.
Time now when i write this sentence is 1:04am, before i ending this blog entry, i'm going to post a bus photo which i caught it just now in the evening at Tampines. Take care guys and gals (especially for those who's going to fall sick very soon) =) Cya!!~

Recollection of previous weeks..Okay.. Time to update the happening for past 1 week.
Last Saturday, i went for the firecracker event at Chinatown.. Quite a bad day through.. Thanks to the foul weather.. Initially i was standing on the road with a lot of people at around 5 plus in the evening. Waited until 6 plus when the drizzle start to become a bit heavier, i started to walk away to one side just like some of them at the back also, all thanks to those people who took out their umbrella. I don't go there just to see all the umbrellas ok? Like that i might as well don't go better. In the end, i managed to walk until near the bridge whereby it's also near to Chinatown MRT Station (also just outside Lucky Chinatown) and just merely hear the firecracker sound. First time real-life experience, i would say it's pretty good, but it would be a better one if i can SEE it instead of just HEAR it. After which, my mood was like "sianz 1/2" and i proceed to Chinatown MRT Station to take NEL train for 1 stop to Outram Park MRT Station and i took bus back to my hometown for dinner and back home after that.
Sunday wise, as usual, went for morning Wushu training. Nothing much happening through in the morning. Received news that B9 on service 87 (SBS7371J) and i went to Sengkang to ride on it and Hougang to take photo of it. Met Kenny at Hougang Central and we went to catch the VSO on service 88. Damn it, i just don't have the karma to chase after the photo (though Kenny went to catch it earlier before i met him). We even went till the extent of deciding to take cab to Pasir Ris to catch it. Total fare was $8.50 if not wrong. Damn it, reached Pasir Ris and the VSO also reached Pasir Ris damn fast.. Even sad thing was that the VSO went off service back to BRAM/BRBP after that with the destos (both front and side) taken out. The taxi man also damn dumb.. Make a big loop and the talk a lot of crap, and in the end, dropped us just directly outside White Sand Shopping Centre. After everything over there we took bus back to Sengkang to meet up with Bing He for dinner, since he had not met us for quite some time due to his busy schedule since he's currently chiong-ing for his year 2 in JC. After dinner and some chatting, we made our way back home. Kenny managed to ride on his service 87 B9 back home while i ride on service 965 volgren merz back to Yishun and then transfer to service 171 back home.
Monday's schedule was as per normal.. Nothing much to say about it.
Pon lesson on Tuesday. Went to Hougang and saw a B9 cameo-ing on service 62. Although it's very common, but this is my first time seeing it with my own eyes. Saw it when i was on a service 151 bus. Alighted at next stop which is at Tampines Rd, thought that service 62 would pass by there but in the end didn't. Called Kenny and he happened to be somewhere near where i am, and i went to meet up with him. After which he told me there's another B9 on service 62, and we boarded it for 1 stop and i took photo after that. Went on to the opposite side and ride on service 72 B9 to Tampines.
This is when the Indian mama driver case i talking about came in...
Halfway through when i took photos of buses OUTSIDE Tampines Interchange, there was this Indian driver from service 67 (TIB820H, therefore it's a AMDEP driver) who approached me and started to *&Y%%$%$#$#@#@&^T&*%&*.
The story goes like this...
He started to ask me why i take photo of him WHEN MY ONLY INTENTION IS TO TAKE PHOTO OF BUSES FOR GOODNESS SAKE!! After telling him my reasons, he started to take out his damn HP and took photo of me! (Maybe for evidence or to easily identify me bahz..) At first i wanted to use my hands and cover up his HP, but in the end i didn't because i have this mindset that "Hey, since i never do anything WRONG or commit any CRIME, why do i have to fear so much?!? Just let him take millions of photos for all i care!!! Damn him!". Before he walked away, he told me something about "creating troubles" and even mentioned that "DON'T EVER LET ME SEE YOU OUTISIDE ANYWHERE!". After a while, he walked back to me and demanded me to take out my digital camera to DELETE all the photos i took. At first i was pretty reduntant to delete off because i told him "WHY DO I HAVE TO DELETE OFF WHEN I NEVER DO ANYTHING WRONG?!?". In the end, Kenny, who was beside me all the time when the incident took place, told me to just delete off lo.. And i just deleted 1 of the 2 photos i took. That Indian driver still scolded me and accused that "you can take more than 5 photos in just a moment". FINE! I deleted off the other photo (In the end i deleted wrongly, i deleted the TIB475X shot instead because it has the same ad as the TIB820H one.) And i even SHOWED him my camera screen and scroll to make sure that he was convinced. After which he asked me to watch out and he walked off just like that. I was discussing whether to take his bus later or just take photo when he drove out, but in the end, his bus came out with "GONG XI FA CAI" (which is also off service). Fine, i went over to the opposite side and took photo using FLASH deliberately. Initally, he wanted to stop the bus at Tampines Central 2 whereby there's only 1 lane. In the end, a service 65 VO3x bus was behind that bus and according to Kenny, that VO3x also stopped very suddenly, and if the driver of VO3x wasn't alert enough, a accident might have occured.
Okay.. after which Kenny went to school for his lecture while i went on to Hougang for some shots and also lunch. After that, as per normal, took photos and then went home after that.
Wednesday's schedule was also pretty as usual.. Nothing much to say about it.
Thursday morning, i woke up damn early (around 4 plus in the morning) and then i set off from home at about 5:40am, boarding the 1st bus of service 187 (TIB1170T) to Bt Batok for the service 985 bendy crossover. Went to school after that as usual. Everything went on as usual except at night whereby i went to take photo of a ELBO on service 920.. Long time no see on full day shift. That's all for the day.
TIB841Y on Service 920
Friday morning and afternoon went to school as usual. Everything went on as per normal until at night whereby i went to chase after the Volvo B10M Mk 4 DM3500 on service 186. (SBS2754X, famous AMDEP spare bus with special exit door) I ride on that bus from St Micheal's Terminal to Shenton Way and after that it crossover to Service 400. Took 1 round of service 400 on that same bus and took photos after that with permission from that driver. After that went back home as usual.

Saturday was pretty boring for me so i have nothing much to talk about.
Sunday morning was as usual for Wushu training. In the afternoon i went to catch a service 65 B9 at town. Ride on that to Tampines and took photo after that. Went on to Bedok after that to help Isaac asked for the timing for SBS1985C on service 14 and the green man say it off service at clementi. After which i took service 66 merz to Bedok Reservoir Road and happened to witness the scene and process of a breakdown bus towed off by the SBST recovery trunK. Went home after that.
SBS7418J on Service 65.
Today we had our RP fire drill just now at around 11 plus in the morning and time wasted over there. Went to some science health talk later on and now back in class.. Presentation time.. Will stop here for now.. Continue later on when i'm free..
