NO nightmares for me for buses!![SBS Transit matters]
It's damn OMG lo... just in a week, at least around 4 or more Volvo B10M Mk 4s from Ang Mo Kio Depot (AMDEP) got transfered to Bedok North Depot (BNDEP). These unlucky bunch of Mk 4s are:
- SBS 400 E replace 922R 54 (Merz bus replaces it)
- SBS 439 U replace 965S 162 (Merz bus replaces it)
- SBS 455 Y replace 2754X 55 (Merz bus replaces it)
- SBS 457S replace 2811P 162 (Merz bus replaces it)
(Quoted from Malcolm's post in SG Forums, 29th January 2008, 2129hrs)
God bless for those unlucky Volvo B10M Mk 4s who just got transfered to BNDEP, especially SBS 2754 X which I saw it 9 days ago (the previous Monday, 21th January 2008, happened to be my sister's birthday) at Bishan Bus Interchange..
And while my favourite bus SBS 2812 L (Nokia Music Mobile bus with sofa seats for those who don't know that..) is still under AMDEP, I really pray very hard that SBS 2812 L will not get transfered to BNDEP, and that I really pray for the deployment contract for this service on this bus (Service 54, under AMDEP) will extend and even if the contract ends and got redeployed to other services, I pray that it will be redeployed to another service under AMDEP, and NOT BNDEP or other depots except HGDEP (Hougang Depot) which cares all their Volvo B10M Mk 4s very well.. In the mighty name of Jesus name I pray... Amen... Amen....

I will greatly miss the life of a Year 2 student...It's already Tuesday and 2 more school days it's the end of my Year 2 life in RP le.. Gonna move on to the next level and the next sub-chapter of my life... Gonna greatly miss the days of my Year 2 poly life.. I guess... The challenges ahead for the coming final year in RP will be a very exciting yet the toughest among all the 3 years in RP.
Until now, I have still yet to updates about quite a number of stuffs, such as the Republic LEG Run 2008... I will update as long as I am very free and got a lot of things to talk about..
Something I would like to speak to God:
God, as I lay myself onto Your hands, I pray that You will provide me with the right directions for the next chapter of my life, and bring me to a higher level.. I don't wish to keep staying on the current level I am in and keep getting stuck there forever.. I believe God has more things for me to explore into and experience it, as the child of God. I believe, as my spiritual life goes on, my spiritual growth with You will get stronger and stronger, through my discipline to have my daily quiet time...
God, as You guide me through in life, fill me in with Your holy spirit, and all my ups and downs in my life, You will always be by my side, and at any point of time in life, I will not be lost in the sense of direction in my life... As I pray, let all my prayers come to pass.. And in the mighty name of Jesus I pray.. Amen...

FYP Nightmare is coming upEspecially when I.T is not our main interest and we have to do it as if I.T is our main interest instead of Business.
I guess, with this FYP idea that RP has set for me, this makes me even have more motivation to be even more hungry to learn more about Business & get rid of I.T (in particularly and especially, programming) in my mind.
And with this, I shall really set aside a goal for my year 3 (actual) business studies (no more I.T studies lo! rejoice!) that I shall score at least 70% "A" for daily grades and at least 60% "B" for UT grades. I really want to make use of this opportunity to push up my GPA... I want to get in to a school with offers further business (and NO I.T programming involved!) studies.. Yea I can say that I have 100% fully regretted entering into RP (although this is NEVER my first choice), just because I get a lousy L1R4 score of 23 (after deduction of 2 CCA points), I can say that I have regretted not heading Boon Hoe's advice, i.e, to retake my O level and get a much more L1R4, but.... what's the point taking over it now? 2 years after O level has already over le.. I guess, I shall just have to spend 1 more well and I can jollywell get out of Republic Polytechnic. Heard that?!? It's REPUBLIC POLYTECHNIC.. You can just ask any RP students whether they chose RP as their 1st choice. More than 80% they would say a big "N-O NO". Seriously, ...
"NO ONE IN THE RIGHT MIND, I repeat, RIGHT MIND, WOULD CHOOSE RP as their FIRST choice!"
Pardon me for being so angry and fed-up. To the extent I even manage to convince 1 of my bus enthusiast friend & his friend, never to choose RP and REGRET like me..
Now early in the morning I have to analyze all the bloody proposals approved for our FYP Nightmare "Episode 1, i.e, semester 1". I can't imagine for the next few months onwards when my Year 3 period starts, I would see WHITE hairs growing from me, drinking Red-Bull energy drink EVERY NIGHT, my panda eyes getting even more obvious, falling sick every week due to the overloading stress and less than 3 hours of sleep every night... Imagine.. I may have to sleep at 2am every night and wake up at 5am every morning to rush this **** FYP...
I don't want this negative effects to neglect my relationship with God, because I really believe on what God has provided me the path (in this case, it should be my FYP Nightmare path), to really see breakthroughs during the midst of the nightmare period of FYP. I don't want to be a backslided, just because I spend too much time on this FYP and neglected God as my no. 1 priority.
Already for now, I have not been spending my quiet time when the nightmare hasn't even arrived yet. What happens when the actual nightmare arrives? Haiz...

Singapore land public transport = Cannot make it?It is damn ironic lo... The GAH-MENT keep encouraging us to make use of public transport such as buses and trains and discouraging us to make use of our own private cars,
YET,
The transport service of both bus and train operators, SBS Transit and SMRT, did not perform well. Moreover, with the yearly fare hike for both bus and train fares, by RIGHT, we SHOULD expect BETTER services from them... In the end, especially for SMRT, it's damn !@#$%^&*()!@#$%^&*()!@#$%^&*()!@#$%^&*()!@#$%^&*(). Period.
Those staying in SMRT territory area for buses, you should understand better how I feel right now.. Those staying in SBS Transit territory area for buses, you all should OUGHT to be GRATEFUL for the good services that SBS Transit has provided to you...
First, SBS Transit provides you with something called "IRIS", which simply stands for "Intelligence Road Information System", which allows you to find out when is the next bus estimated arrival time.
SMRT lehz? They asked you to wait as long as possible for their buses (trains are not spared too!). They really want to make sure at almost ALL times of the day (especially at NIGHT), their buses would packed to the brim with passengers... Service 960 during Fridays and Saturdays is a very good example.. ** Sorry if I seem to be a bit racist here... ** Poor Indians & Banglas at Little India MRT Station bus stop (towards Woodlands) would have to squeeze (or sometimes NOT being able to board it) inside the bus. I called it the Bangla service, so whenever I said this to you all that I am taking Bangla service, you know which service I am refering to...
Second, SBS Transit provides you with E-TIMETABLES for some of the services.
SMRT lehz? They asked you to sit down or stand up at the bus stop to wait as long as possible, and when the bus come, TRY to squeeze in whenever you can, and if you cannot squeeze inside, too bad, wait for a few more buses and TRY again... I have experienced it on the Bangla service for about an hour at Little India MRT Station from 10pm++ to 11pm++..
There are MORE to talk about on this issue, and it can be a very debatable topic to talk about..
Till then I shall stop here and settle some other stuff le.. Not going for night training because I have some other important stuffs to settle. Cya everyone!

Complicated...School life...
Sometimes it's really complicated.. Especially when one has to change class every semester (and some of them even worst, change class everyday according to their modules)
Another 7 more school days to the end of this semester...
Personal wise...
Why.... I just can't seem to transform from a very-quiet to a not-so-quiet person for every semester in RP?? Is there any barrier or any factors which caused me to become like that? Or maybe some other reasons...
For every semester, classmates never failed to comment that I am a very quiet person... I always keep thinking and thinking about that... And I really want to break though the cycle of quietness...
Friendship wise (between all the 4 semester classmates so far)...
Quite a sensitive issue to talk about, and some may even get misunderstood or feel negatively when people mentioned about it..
Just for my personal ownself, I'm the type of person who is kind of sociable, friendly, kind, etc etc, and most importantly, I'm keeping myself as much as possible to stay neutral, and not having any negative thoughts about any groups/cliques of friends around me.. I just want my life to be positive, thought of my friends in a positive way, positive approach, and not having any grudge against any of my friends...
Well, as for my friends, some falls in the same category as mine, whereas some are different.. Whatever is it, as long friends around me don't have any grudge against me, or don't mind me mixing around with other groups of friends, I am very contented le.. I just want to be as neutral as possible... Although some of my friends say that it's very hard to be neutral, I will still try my best to...

Blog link changedYea.. For a certain reason, I wish to change my blog address, to give a fresh feeling and not to remain my negative of myself anymore...
My favourite Volvo DM3500 Mk IV Nokia bus (SBS2812L) that went BSOD (For some of you who don't know what it stands for, it means BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH!!!! @#$%^&*)... And at about 9:08pm opposite Bishan MRT Station (which is opposite of my direction towards Bishan Int), another Nokia bus (SBS2779A) with MTV screen working and playing videos... ZzzZzzz...
When I sent this particular photo to some of my bus enthusiast friends yesterday night, some of them still thought that it's from MY laptop.... ZzzZzz... Lucky I don't see this on my own laptop anymore... And after departing Bishan Int once again with restarting of the MTV "computer" (with Microsoft Windows 2000 as their OS), it still went BSOD...!! ROAR!!!~~ No songs to listen.. To think my main purpose of riding this Nokia bus was to see whether what new songs have they put in and telecast on the screen.. Yawn!~~~
As I walked to my house void deck lift lobby, I saw this.....
Okay that's all...

My favourite bus has gone BSOD!!So sianz... Now is 9:45pm and I'm on my favourite bus right now after Bishan St 22 towards Far East Plaza (to transfer to Service 190 back home)..
Zzz... Why I feel sianz? Simple reason.. All 3 SBST Nokia buses have the MTV screen and by right they should telecast the MTV songs. My favourite bus, SBS2812L (Service 54 permanent bus) kena BSOD...
Don't wish to talk much here due to my laptop battery low... Just feel very sianz at this moment of time...
Shall blog about last Saturday's Republic LEG Run when I am free... Cya everyone and I shall end my entry here..

Shag / Tired but very FUN day yesterday!Went with Shiyang and Alsred to East Coast Park to cycle for 3 and a half hour... Very tiring because we cycle all the way from East Coast Park (which is the most far from MacDonald towards Fort Rd) to Changi Beach Park..
We set off at around 1:35pm, reached Changi Beach Park at around 3pm. On the way along Changi Beach Park, we saw a whole lot bunch of both army guys and ZHENGHUA Sec 1 students!! Hence I decided to snap a view of the Zhenghua Sec 1 students when we were sitting down there and rest for half an hour..
Hmmm... Sad sia I did not see any teacher that I know there because all I see were those Sec 1s wearing their house T-shirt and those wearing red T-shirt which I supposed they are the student leaders.. DM Sng (Discipline Master), all the student councilor teachers that I know were NOT there.. Hmm... 3:30pm and we set our journey back to East Coast Park.. On our way along the long stretch of the Airport viewing part, I accidentally swayed myself and knocked onto a lamp post which nearly cause me to have injuries.. Lucky it's just only some minor pain. After that when we passed by Changi Coast MOE Adventure Centre, we saw those bunch of Zhenghua Sec 1 students there, and finally then I know, there is a new campsite there... Those lucky bunch of Sec 1s with the nicely surroundings... Unlike us which is Jln Bathera MOE Adventure Centre which is far more ulu and deserted than Changi one... Roar!!~ Nvm... Managed to reach back the bike shop at East Coast Park on time, and we went to MacDonald to chill ourselves down, and I went to bath while they waited for me inside MacDonald.
After that we walked to Marine Parade Hawker Centre to have dinner and took Service 966 back to Bt Panjang because I got my usual Wushu training at 8pm. So sianz because we tio the very ultimately SLOW Merz among Service 966 fleet, which is NONE OTHER THAN.... TIB435L... Damn it.. (Wei Chuen, you should know the best and both of us HATE that bus VERY much!!) Hence my mood changed a little and I started to feel very bored and fall asleep... ZzzzZzz...
Reached back Pending LRT bus stop and I transfer to Service 960 to Whitley Rd to try luck with my favourite TIB1062Y Service 700 bendy slot timing as it's still early for my training.. Well... Turn out to be the fact that on last Tuesday, TIB1062Y slot really BROKE down (which caused me to wait for a very long time and become very PAI SEH.. thanks lahz..).
Took TIB1229J which is a cameo bus and as usual, I love the feeling that the TIB1062Y perm driver change shift to neutral along PIE, which gave me the quiet and smooth feeling of the bendy bus moving.. Woohoo..
Have my usual night Wushu training and by the time, I was already very very shaggy le.. Hence, by the time I reached back home after the training, I was already 70% KO-ed.. And slept early yesterday night..
Look at Service 700 estimated arrival time, 3rd and 2nd last Service 700 buses bunched up... Grr... Snapped this at around 7:50pm..

Haiyo the Service 700 bendy driver make me feel so PAI SEH!!Roar!!~ Bad day yesterday....
Went for joyride on Service 238 (those new Scania K230UBs and the lucky bunch of people who can ride on it everyday as a FEEDER SERVICE... Heard that? It's FEEDER service!!!) with Terence and I want to MOVE back to TOA PAYOH!! @#$%^&*
After which he took Service 157 back home while I made my trip down to Orchard MRT via Service 143, hoping to catch my favourite Service 700 bendy slot... But... Yesterday's traffic condition at town area is DAMN screwed up!! Instead of seeing my favourite bendy slot at around 7:20pm, 1 Scania OAC and 1 Merz OAC (TIB467U) came, and after that, it's a 30mins ++ long wait before the 3rd and 2nd last Service 700 buses came together. The rigid was TIB729P and bendy was TIB1063U (1 rego after my favourite bendy, which went over to "Little India" service today i.e Service 960).
TIB729P came in front 1st and TIB1063U wanting to overtake and went off when I keep flagging for it.. Grr!! Nvm, I took TIB729P down for 1 stop, and along the way, that TIB1063U driver overtook TIB729P and stopped at opp Far East Plaza bus stop. Immediately I pressed the bell and alighted to rush for TIB1063U.. Grr.. I keep knocking on the entrance door when that bendy bus moved a little bit off the bus stop, and finally he opened the door to let me go in..
And guess what? Instead of the normal drivers out there, he kept laughing at me!! Asking why I just want to choose his bus? And asked if I like him or what... Crazy man... (but that was only meant for jokes la..) He also asked me if I am going to investigate his bus but I said NO...
And after that, when I was about to ask him whether was there a massive traffic jam along the way, he TOLD me to move to the back and SIT down where there's NO more seats left... This one still nevermind... What's worst was that he keep laughing with a passenger (not some SMRT staff as he's dressed in a semi-formal attire, 30 yrs old ++ man) and indirectly suan-ing me la... Roar!!~~
But then.... After all I still find him a very driver to chat with.. Nvm.. Some day I shall ride on his bus and have a chit chat session with him... =D Since he's not that bad after all... xD
P.S: For those bus enthusiast who know who are the 2 perm bendy drivers for Servide 700 are, it's the botak head one, not the other one who is the representative for Service 700 (driving TIB1062Y my favourite bendy as the perm bus) and the only bendy driver I ride on his bus so far with N (Neutral) gear on the expressway... =D

W64R...Hmmm... Happened to read through 1 of my classmates' (Xian Hao, W64R) blog.. And immediately after I finish reading it, something strikes on my mind...
Is our class (W64R) really united as a class? Or because we started to have our own clique in this class, we tend to forget the strong bonding that all of us have as a class? Xian Hao, if you are reading my blog right now, don't be emo okay? Cheer up man! ^_^ I know that I may not be always with your clique (Winnie, Jessie, etc etc..), but don't worry, we are still together as a class don't we? I mean all of us here in W64R.. It has been a great time for me (at least for myself) to know so many of you all here in this class, and so far, this class I really enjoyed the most being with you all.. Wednesdays has always been a free time for us to go out together, be it within our own different cliques in this class, or as a whole class.. No matter what, we will still not forget this class as a very united and cheerful class and even after this coming term ends, I believe we still do keep in touch with one another and organize outings to go chill out and relax, keep up with everyone's life, etc etc.. This coming few weeks or 1-2 months ++ time, we are going to have our very 1st W64R chalet, and all of us shall go and have FUN together! Life is short for all of us, (as in around 85 years is still too short for me..) so all the more we should live & enjoy our life to the fullest, get to have fun with one another while we can in this world.. ^_^
Okay Xian Hao, don't think too much le ba... Hope you will really getting better (emotional wise) as the year goes by.. Doesn't mean that I never go out with you guys means I have already neglected you guys le.. Hope you guys don't have this kind of mindset thinking ba.. =)
With that, I shall end my entry here and have a meeting with my bed very soon le ba.. Take care everyone and have a good night sleep.. =)

Upcoming nightmare... Final Year Project!!Hmm... Since I was being kicked out of the Binder game because I am the 1st one to die (damn noob horz??) among Shiyang, Sam, Irvin, Rafi and Alsred... Zzz... And now I have nothing to do.. So might as well just come here and blog for a while...
As you guys (those same year in RP as me) know, in a few months' time, the nightmare is going to coming very soon to ALL of us here..!! Which is the Final Year Project (FYP)!! I can already visualize how stressed and busy I am in the coming few months' time already right NOW.. Imagine... No time for internet/computer gaming, everyday after school is chionging FYP, FYP and FYP.. And moreover, it seem to be that only RP has 2 FYPs instead of other polytechnics which has only ONE or even NONE FYP!!! Instead what other polytechnics have are ATTACHMENT, ATTACHMENT and ATTACHMENT, and most of them will get both EXPERIENCES and MONEY out of it... Grr... My poly lehz?!? So __________ lor..
For this coming 1st FYP, I team up together with Melissa and 1 of her friends. Well, as I browse through the project proposal for Year 3 students in this current semester batch, I happened to saw some of them which are not PHP related, which is more focus on BUSINESS side rather than PROGRAMMING side!! Although the choice for that kind of project is quite limited, I believe in faith with God that with my personal daily prayers after my team have chosen the proposal, we will get to do the proposal that we really wanted to do.. I will pray hard that our team will really get the proposal that we wanted as we all don't want to suffer with a very ______ stress and flung this FYP module..
Nevertheless, I will still try as hard as possible that all 3 of us would really take some break off together (with other friends if they interested to join the 3 of us) and to go relax our brain, so as to get ourselves more motivated to finish up the final product of the project. All work and no play is really totally NO LIFE man!!! I think I roughly know what Qian Hui mentioned about the NO-LIFE in her blog, should be refering to FYP also perhaps?? Of course I don't expect the play to be just sitting in front of the computer as in the midst of doing FYP, we are facing our own laptop EVERYDAY.. And it's really NO good for our eyes man... Outdoor activities is simply the best.. =D Such as cycling, chill at somewhere to relax and chit chat, or even go singing in K Box which what 1 of my teammate (Melissa) loves to do.. Life is not just about staring at our computer/laptop screen alone, and our precious pair of eyes we have to really take care well wohz..
So... For now at this period of time before the nightmare arrived, I would better play games as much as possible, for fear that when the nightmare comes, I would not have even a single time to play, as I probably will feel so shag and tired after doing the project..

My prayers were answered!Yeah... With the presence and blessing from the God plus my prayers.. Quite a number of good things happening to me for the past 2 days..
1st one is for every Sunday because I have to set off from house very early (to board the 1st Service 966 bus which is 6:20am at the bus stop outside my block there) and last Sunday I got a 35 minutes scolding from my mum and cause me to be a bit late for reporting to Expo at 7:30am.
This morning, my mother never say anything much, only thing she said was ask me not to get baptized. Found out that I do not need to serve the ministry today, hence I went around Bedok and Tampines to snap some bus photos after breakfast at Bedok Int hawker centre..
2nd thing is for the Singtel Broadband Mobile that I am very keen to sign up for one as there is a promotion which they give me 6 months free subscription fees, and the fact that RP's wireless network is super CMI (Cannot Make It) makes me even feel more like wanting to sign up for it. Thanks to Shiyang who told me about it, and making me very tempted to get it, which I already got it NOW le... Yeah!!
3rd thing is for my bus spotting and photo taking today. Although the Nokia Music Mobile buses (SBS 2812L which is my favourite Volvo DM3500 Mk 4 SBST bus, SBS2696E, SBS2779A) are not out at Esplanade today because it's just only a audition for Baybeat 2008 instead of the actual event, nevertheless, there is still this SMRT Scania OAC (TIB565U) with the new Orange EDS (Electronic Display/Destination System). Finally that poor Scania (which has encountered at least 2-3 accidents/major breakdowns which caused the EDS to be changed) came out after a long time being on lay-up status. Sunlight wise, it's also a great one for me both in the morning at Bedok & Tampines, and afternoon at Esplanade. Sunlight direction wise, it's also pretty good.
Yesterday, attended the 1st CG meeting of the year, and it's a brand new start for all of us here in E447.. New appointed ICs for various positions, new goals to be achieved for Year 2008.. As majority of my CG friends are either having their NS or university, I somehow got a very matured atmosphere, and get myself motivated to set aside my goals and achieve it.. During services, we are also taught of the various things we should do this year, such as focus and forgiveness...
Moreover, making a choice to be serve God in the Usher ministry would also mean that there is a new set of responsibility that I should execute well. There is more things to learn in this ministry and I really hope that I can learn as much things as possible over there..
And 1 last thing before I end this entry is my daily quiet time with God... Yes.. I admitted that for the past few weeks (and probably months?), I have not been doing that everyday because of some factors such as distractions from family and surrounding.. But.. After what Jia Yun has shared with me yesterday in the cab about her past experiences and gave me some advices on it, I have more faith in myself that I will be able to spent my personal quiet time EVERYDAY..
Ok i got to stop here le... Will blog more the next entry... Cya ppl!

1st week when school reopens...Back to the usual school term schedule.... 8:45am report to class, 4pm 3rd meeting finish (or even earlier). But.. This week has been a very hectic one as there are THREE (yes, I mean 3) UTs (Understanding Tests) just for this whole week alone... ZzzZzz... These are...
- Web Application Design UT 3 (Monday)
- Operating System Concepts UT 4 (Tuesday)
- System Analysis & Design UT 4 (Friday, which is TODAY!!!)
Probably because the day before (last Wednesday) I overworked myself as I went to Toa Payoh Sports Complex gym for a 45 minutes to 1 hour ++ workout with Shiyang and Alsred, and then during the night time, I have my usual Wushu training for about 1 and a half hour ++ at Zhenghua CC..
1st day of school this year, I was rather very blur and not getting used to attending school lessons... Went out of the lift in my class level (4th floor) in my block (W6), I still thought that I have went to the wrong level.. Moreover, the UT after school really made my morale went down, but not that much...
Last Wednesday, after the gym workout and lunch with them at Toa Payoh, I went down to this _______ place and settle the ________ NS registration stuff... Damn ________ and it's seriously damn ______ ___, especially for the fact that I have to get the deferment letter from my ______ Republic Polytechnic when the deadline for the registration ends on that day, else I would get a BIG FINE sum of $10,000 IIRC (if I remembered correctly). I even received a reminder SMS from the CMPB (automated generated SMS) to finish up the registration before last Wednesday.
Really wish to thank those who really pray for me yesterday night, and myself for my personal prayers, for the fact that God really answered my prayer for my headache... And I guess, these few days I would better don't do something which is vigorous for me, else all these kind of minor yet irritating & annoying sickness might come back to me again....
And really wish to thank those who tagged me about the night scenery shots. Really appreciated all your comments!! ^_^ Seriously it's a very nice place to go and destress oneself at night when there is wind and the scenery view is very peaceful and calm. Hope the next time I go up again, someone would be able to accompany me there, be it girl or guy I don't care... Really hope I would be able to go there everyday for my personal quiet time, but I guess it's impossible because of some factors..
Tomorrow, it will be the 1st CG meeting of the year for E447, and pray for a good start of the year yeah! And speaking of which, my goals setting card that was given during last week's service was still not done writing it yet, and by tonight, before I go to sleep, I shall finish it up..
Everyday keep saying to myself that I will have my personal quiet time each night, but in the end, it is still not being fulfilled, and my self-discipline is always not there most of the time.. I hope all these bad things will come to a end (or at least to minimize the effects) ASAP...
This coming Sunday, I am probably going to serve in the usher ministry as a actual one (not like last 2 weeks when it's the trial). After 2 week ++, I have decided to join this ministry with passion, interest, and be ready to serve God with glory and pride. However, there is a problem, which is my parents (Mum in particular) ONCE AGAIN... 1st week of my trial usher, I was pretty lucky as it's still within the period of my CG chalet. 2nd week which is last week, it's not a very smooth one as my mother keep criticizing me and ________ me again with all sorts of threatening... I was already ready to set off from my house at about 6am for breakfast and reach Expo by 7:30am, but, because of the 35 minutes scolding from my mum, I have to rush there like _____. Thankfully by the time I reached there, it's about 7:35am.
This coming Sunday, I really pray and hope that I would be able to set off from my house smoothly without any _______ from my mum especially...
Prehaps some other time I will talk about FYP ba... This one is another nightmare which I am going to encounter later on for Year 3..

Night journey from Marina Centre Bus Terminal to Benjamin Sheares Bridge & to Singapore Indoor StadiumI shall let my photos lead the journey from Marina Centre Bus Terminal to Benjamin Sheares Bridge (ECP) & to Singapore Indoor Stadium, which I took around 1 and a half hours ++ to complete (plus shooting photos).
At around 8:40pm, I set off from Marina Centre Bus Terminal, and followed Service 36 and 518 route up to the top of the Benjamin Sheares Bridge. It was quite a tiring journey but definitely it's worth the journey if you walked all the way up to the bridge.
Along the way, I snapped some self photos (as in photos of myself with the scenery), and I uploaded a total of 116 photos for this entry, so do bear with it yeah.... Hehe... :-p
Really, I could feel the great satisfaction when I finally managed to go to the top of the bridge. It's like for more than 2 years ago that I said to myself that 1 fine night I shall walk all the way up. Yesterday night, I have told myself that "I MUST GO ALL THE WAY UP!", and really I have fulfill the task that I said to myself 2 years ago!!
At first I was a bit scared because the bridge keep vibrating when heavy vehicles keep passing by near my side there... In the end, I still love the great feeling when I view the night scenery on top of the bridge with the windy weather. Woohoo!!
There's a staircase leading down to somewhere, which has no proper pavement path from there till where I snapped the photo of the surrounding near KPE entrance, which from there, I saw the nice scenery view of Singapore Indoor Stadium from far.
Okay... From here onwards, the photos below are all taken nearby and outside Singapore Indoor Stadium..
As I snapped those photos, in my mind I was like "Woah... How nice if next time I could own a home within the vicinity of Singapore Indoor Stadium and Stadium Waterfront!!". Seriously the night scenery view and feeling is so damn nice and great!! How I wish I can go down every night for jogging and to admire the nice scenery out there!! And with the windy and peaceful atmosphere, makes the place feel like a wonderland!! Woohoo!!
At the bridge linking to Singapore Indoor Stadium, there's this young teenage guy who approached me and asked me what I have snapped. The feeling to me was quite scary because he really speak like a English speaking gangster. In the end, nothing happened... Thank God for ensuring a safe journey throughout the 1 and a half hours ++ night walk. ^_^
Completed my journey at around 10:20pm and I took Service 16 and 190 back home =)
With that, I shall end this entry and in future I won't be so free to go around and snap a lot of night shot photos liao...
