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..
