Can't believe that my last post was on 24th of May. Am I really that busy? Let me turn back my clock and see what the heck had I done so far. Last weekend was spent on playing soccer. Yup. I know it sounds unbelievable but I played back to back games on Sat and Sun. Sun was with my gang of poly friends who I hadn't seen in a while. Great to see them again after such a long gap. Had one of my fav meals when I was in poly after the soccer game(Half Spring Chicken at Clementi Central). Nice. Took a bus 196 home rather than the faster method of MRT after the meal. It could had been a great ride with a nice book in hand, great music and great atmosphere with the rain coming down as the bus roared forward. But a bunch of noisy kids got to spoil it all. I was the unlucky guy when they chose to take Service 196 to Parkway instead of a bus. Worst thing was they woke me up when I was in dreamland after my reading. Kids.. Hate it when they are having sch holidays. There shall be a rule restricting the noise level they can create when they are on PUBLIC transport. (Note the word PUBLIC)
Am quite guai as I had been going back home almost everyday after work. Reading my books(I do read and it is true) and watching National Geographic and Discovery channel. I know it sounds unlike me but with the drama serials at Channel 55, 8 and U being sucky, I think documentaries are more worth my time watching them. And with my PC still out of order dun know till when, I really dun know when I can continue on with my OC Season 2(Stuck at episode 21) and Desperate Housewives(stuck at episode 11).
Anyway, feel free to visit http://jiazz.blogspot.com/ when u are too bored with my blog(I think this will happen quite often) and sick of porn(this will happen to my friends, Wahaha). It is a nice blog by a very nice gal.
Last thing to add before I go to my well deserved sleep. I am damn against the increment of bus and train fares. It is not as if the transport companies are doing badly. If an income level of 300+ million is considered as bad result, what kind of level are they looking to sustain it at? I know most people will say that it is only a few cents but that's not the point. The point is is there a need for the increment? A 10 cent increment for passengers paying by cash is going to be tough on the poor. They might not have enough money to top up their EZ link cards and forced to pay more than they can afford. Imagine yourself being $3 down before u even start work. And we are talking abt ppl with income level of less than $700 here. The helping fund of 4 million is a joke as compared to the 12-15 million more that the transport companies can earn from this blood sucking excercies. We are talking about a monopoly of service right here in S'pore who is aggressively promoting free trade with other countries. It is the same with cable TV. What competition will there ever be for transport companies when each of them is allocated areas to cover and with an unwritten agreement not to infringe on the other party. This is a sick joke. Competition to me is opening up the market and even if there is a clash of bus routes, let it be. The best and cheapest will survive. This will be good news to consumers. Not an increment in fares when the wage is still the same after all these years. And the major disappointment I had was that the majority of the public being ok with it. I am really doubtful if they are really agreeable with it or they see no means in kicking up a big fuss.
Well, got to simmer down now. I still got work to do(at quite a pathetic pay) and need to sleep now. Nitezzz....
You can take a picture of something you see. In the future where will I be?
