I NEED A BREAK OFF!!!These few days and weeks has been a busy time for me.. And i will not update anything here for now as I am working later on at 9:30am to 4pm..
Really need to take a break off from everything man... Didn't sleep well for the past few days and keep on going to fall asleep in class during the presentation... Haiz....
Where's my time for Wushu training???
Where's my time for setting aside even a day for W16L class BBQ??? Haiz...
Where's my time even for playing basketball???
Where's my time for being able to have a good rest???
It has been months and months ever since I last played basketball, and from the beginning of the year I have been telling myself that I must set some time off for basketball, but in the end until now............... During the holidays hS keep on asking me whether I wanted to go and play basketball with him or not... But..... Due to the quite tight and very busy schedule I have for myself everyday, I have to reject it, even if I am very tempting to go and play...
Same thing goes to the W16L BBQ... Already for 1 month plus the thing still drag on and it's getiing further and further as the days go by... When's the date that most of us here (W16L ppl, Sem 2, AY 2006/2007) can make it??? I really really want to know so that it's more easier for me to arrange and set aside a day for this event.... Haiz.....
I NEED A BREAK OFF!!!

Haiz.. Sch term start le..1 more day to school term starts for RP.. More stress I will face.. Haiz..
And i have to cope well with:
- school work/studies
- chionging for PP and CE
- martial arts..
- assisting Sebastian and Darren in setting up a Kickboxing IG in RP
- organizing a BBQ session for W16L (2nd semester, AY 2006/2007)
- current Photo Republic IG..
- work @ The Cafe Cartel (Junction 8)
Looks quite few, but these few things already very jia lat for me le.. Haiz.. Great challenges ahead waiting for me to conquer but always got the fear that I cannot cope well with all of it.. Prehaps I should just give up some of the things i mentioned above? Or should I take all of them in? Haiz.. Well.. I shall see how it goes on when school term starts..
Somemore this coming HP bill I'm going to be in hot soup for sure.. Talk time (outgoing only as incoming call is free) went up as high as close to 4 hours (3:56:10), SMSes went up as high as 974 as of now, plus GPRS lehz? Always use that for SBS Transit's IRIS nextbus for checking and calculating the arrival time for next bus of a certain services.. Lucky now i got work, and most likely I will tell my parents that this coming HP bill I will pay for it. (Cos normally is my parents pay one) Haiz.. Just how do I control my HP usage..

Say a big NONO to SMRT Buses!!These days, other than my work, martial arts training, bus spotting, meeting with friends, I also have a set of task to do, which is to...
SHOOTING E-MAILS TO SMRT BUSES!!!
Damn sickening.. Everyday have to LIVE with this useless SMRT Buses transportation system.. Long waiting time, cannot squeeze into the bus (bendy bus somemore!!), poor conditions of the buses they have, extremely poor deployments they have... These are some of the things which the residents residing in Bt Panjang, Choa Chu Kang, Yew Tee (especially), Woodlands (not too bad because of SBST service 161 and 168), Sembawang (pretty bad) and Bt Batok (not too bad because there's SBST Service 66, 157, 174, Express 506) suffering everyday.
For the past few weeks, I wrote a e-mail to SMRT Buses (cc to Public Transport Council, PTC in short) regarding Service 184 frequency for Sundays and Public Holidays and I have requested them to put up the timetable at every bus stop which Service 184 plys because of the quoting of a rule from PTC website that bus services with 20 minutes or more are required to put up timetables for that. In the end, wait for about 3 weeks le and still no reply.. Basically SMRT Buses's reply are all STANDARD in format one.. Write until so nice but in the end, ...... -_- *toot*
And for the past 1 week or so, I also wrote a e-mail to SMRT Buses (cc to PTC and also SBS Transit). This time the e-mail is really damn serious and fierce.. SMRT Buses seem to be treating this as "lalalala" and not doing something to it, hence I have to cc to SBS Transit also, having to seek for their consideration to take over SMRT Buses for the public bus services in Singapore. I shall give them another few more days before my tolerance and mood level is really damn low and I will just either write a e-mail to SBS Transit (cc to PTC and SMRT Buses), or worst come to worst, make a trip down to BRAM to have a good talk with SBS Transit especially with issues regarding to Service 190 under SMRT Buses control, and that's if I feel that SMRT Buses is just way too beyond hope (无可救药) le...
My chinese letter regarding Service 190 also came out in Zao Bao (ZB) chinese newspaper, under ZB lun yan (forum in chinese)..
Please click on it and see it for yourself..
Okay.. A translation for the non-malays for 1st paragraph:
Ever since SMRT took over SBS Transit for Service 190, the writer (me of course!!) find out that the bus fleets for Service 190 has been decreasing, but the demand for passengers is still pretty high. This caused some of the residents residing in Choa Chu Kang not being able to board Service 190 back home on time.
2nd paragraph, I talked about Service NR3 having to loop at North Canal Rd. Actually, I also don't know why i wrote that, but ZB already contacted me through phone and I told them le... They asked me to contact SMRT Buses to explain to them everything about Service 190 thing, which I have done so..
When she mentioned that 5 minutes frequency for Service 190 for peak hours is VERY FAST, I shoot her back that 5 minutes is WAY TOO SLOW given such a high demand Service 190 has.. 1 fine day I just feel like calling her through the phone again and shoot back her some more things, and saying more sarcastic remarks which is really talking about facts!! Grrr..
Seriously speaking, I just feel like moving house.. Move to Hougang the best, more interesting and better transportation network down there.. Bt Panjang.. Dunno why they go and build the stupid LRT, and then causing bus service rationalisation here and there, causing more inconvenience here and there. That's why I don't want to work in Bt Panjang for The Cafe Cartel.. Everyday have to face the anger for SMRT Buses services.. See all the buses in red livery my mood also getting hotter each day as the day goes by.. And this is the reason why I have been avoiding SMRT Buses territory everyday, most of the time even till night. You will most probably spot me in either the Eastern or the North-Eastern side of Singapore.. -_-
My ultimate mission: To make sure on this day 1 year later, SBS Transit will take control of Singapore's public bus transport and there will not be such thing called SMRT Buses.

These few days..These few days have been both good and bad one for me... Good come 1st..
A few days back, went out with Bing He for dinner at (C) Central at Clarke Quay there.. Went to the food court and we ordered different food but from same store and we shared half each.. Below is a very disgusting photo which Bing He took and on that night i have phobia for this seafood..
Okay.. Picture speaks a thousand words.. Enough explaination.. Lolx.. See it for yourself.. There's 3 prawns in that plate, lucky only 1 of it was like that.. After dinner we went for some night scenery shots at Clarke Quay before we went home..
Last Monday after work, while I was riding a Nokia bus on Service 54 from Bishan to New Bridge Rd, I happened to saw a nice cameo.. Can't say the rego and service no due to some reasons lolx.. Play safe for SBS Transit ah.. lolx.. Kenny met up with me later on at evening after his work also and chase till 11 plus.. Imagine 2 siao kia went out all the way to go after that bus for the whole night. Went to near Upper Paya Lebar Rd there and took photo using the floor as the base, somemore not in our casual attire (okay la.. at least mine still considered quite casual cos i wearing T-shirt although it bears the name of The Cafe Cartel.. Lolx..).. The only time i took photos in formal wear (if not wrong I'm wearing it with tie somemore..) is during the IMF days when I was on my way to VE and it's quite early lo.. So I just camped at Bras Basah Rd bus stop (right after Dohby Ghaut) and took some IMF shuttle bus by SBS Transit.. That was so tempting and it's once in a lifetime man..
Hmm it's only after the "special" cameo happened on last Monday which managed to relieve my mood at least for 2 days till yesterday (Wed, 4th April 2007) when I have no work on these 2 days.. Later on in the day I got work from 12:30pm to 5pm.. This time jia liak le.. Cos i from B2 now kena S1 le, which means i got to do the serving food part.. At the rate I always tio scolded by Garry whenever I asked for the dishes (as in whether has it ready or not), later on one i will sure die one.. sure tio scolding until damn jia liak.. Hope the lunch crowd isn't as many as what i predicted ba, as i still damn noob in serving food to customer.. Still need to take time to recognize what is the dish name just by looking at the dish itself.. And pardon me, I also got poor memory at times.. So...... Haiz.. At this rate my morale is going to get lower and lower each day the work goes by.. Maybe I don't show my expression/feelings in the workplace, but once I got hopped on to a bus and listen to my MP3 songs, there it goes... I may not have the mood to go back home so early and tend to travel on expressway/highway instead... Prehaps I'm not really suitable for the F&B industry?? Haiz.. But for the sake of $$$, I guess I shall stay on for about 1 year before Year 3 starts for me.. I really hope for a part time job whereby I can sit down in the office and do office work (those admin work like sorting out documents or those type documents in computer etc etc..).. It's much more relaxing than doing those "sai kang" job especially those factory and gave us hard labour work to do when the pay/salary don't seem to convince me at all.. Do "sai kang" work and get less pay?? WTH..!!
These few days, quite a busy one for me.. Have to settle my W16L BBQ planning and preparation, preparation for PP (Professional Profiling), and work.. When school term starts, it will be more WORST for me.. Prehaps worst until I don't even have time for bus spotting.. Such as:
- Chionging for PP to settle ASAP (Target: End of Semester 1)
- Chionging for CE to complete ASAP (Target: End of Semester 2)
- Concentrating on my studies to achieve better grades than before
(Target: GPA of 3.0 for the 4 modules in Semester 1 for AY 07/08)
(Target: GPA of 3.2 for the other 4 modules in Semester 2 for AY 07/08)
- Cope with my IG well (Photo Republic)
- Driving licenses (Try to complete ASAP provided I got enough capital to support myself)
- Work for $$$
and now, my SKD Master Kuik hopes that me and Sebastian can once again try to create a new IG (kickboxing) in RP.. But for myself personally, I really have to see 1st for that because I don't even know I can really cope well with all the task I listed above.. As for Sebastian, I really hope he can once again tried to seek approval from the faciliators because last year when he tried to seek approval, he kena tio rejected, don't know why was that so..
Hmm I guess it's about time for me to zzz.. I still have work later on and I really need enough rest.. These few days I have not been zzz and resting well.. Now also quite tired le.. K.O soon.. cya guys around.. Tc everyone.. Nitez nitez =)
