My ideal girlfriend. But wells. People usually do not get what they want. Unless they try. But sometimes I do lower my expectations as a matter of fact.

Brother's birthday on 29 June is over. He shares that special day with my friend, Jean. So what a coincidence you guys may say. But wells, millions of people are born throughout the world. So, whats the big deal if someone shares the same birthday with you, like millions of people did around the world?

But the big deal is, Singapore is so small and yet you can find a person that you have never met before and that person shares the same birthday as your friend or close kin, then that is something that's rare.

What a small world. And what a surprising coincidence.

Complaints about buses (part 2)

I had been a TIBS user for the last 12years and I had bottled up a lot of feelings. I had been a loyal customer and I guess maybe it is because I had no choice as only TIBS buses ply the routes of Bukit Batok.

In the past 4 years since I moved in this estate, I had frequently met fare cheats on Bus 945. Those people who board the bus and after tapping their cards, immediately go to the back of the bus and tap their cards again on the Ez-link reader at the back. Food for thought. What would you do?

a) Bo chup aka don't care. Since it is not my problem.

b) Tell them it is wrong and tell them not to do it again. And risk being scolded.

c) Shout to the bus uncle at the front. ' Uncle, this person tap the card early!!!' and thus, make them feel ashamed of themselves.

d) Bo bian aka no choice. Cannot do anything about it since the bus uncle also bo chup.

e) Blog about it and hopefully TIBS picks it up. And opens a scheme that offers $2 for every fare cheats you report.

If you choose:

a) you re a selfish person. ( Popular choice. And please do not be a policeman.)

b) you re suited to be a teacher/monk/priest. ( You should be commended.)

c) you re being a child. ( Should be commended too. For having such bravery.)

d) you re being lead around. ( No balls to stand up for what you believed is right.）

e) you re optimistic. Very optimistic. ( You can be an adviser.)



So for me, I will definitely choose C , D and finally E. I will shame those people right on the spot. Unfortunately, I guess I will be making a fool out of myself so thanks but no thanks. I saw people who lived in condominiums, holding suitcases and wearing office suits, cheating the system. It's like:

' WHAT? You can afford a condominium and yet you are being such a miser?'

Oh. Maybe its because only misers can afford such monies to buy condos instead.

Personally, I feel that bus drivers should take the initiatives and report them. But then again, I once recorded approximately 10 fare cheats in the 15min journey. Maybe it is because there is too many cheats and the driver will have a hard time identifying them.

But on the other hand, if they are all fined $20, which is the 'standard' punishment I read in the newspaper, they would have earned a cool $200 and teach those misers a lesson or two. Or maybe they could hire people like me to keep a lookout and then sharing the $200 with me.

It is sure unfair when you see those people who pays lesser then you but gets the same mileage. Doing this makes my blood boils and I really wanted to shout expletives straight into the faces of the cheats.

I absolutely detests fare cheats. All kind of cheats maybe. I have integrity and I hate them. And those idiots are probably the cause of the rise in inflations in buses. Please do something about it and hopefully let me have the job and TIBS badge so that I start catching those cheats.

Yours faithfully,
k`h

Complaint about buses. (1) (edited)


I have been a TIBS commuter for the last 12 years and I am generally satisfied with the services that were provided. There was not much problems during the first 6 years of my bus taking experience with TIBS. That was the period when I was a Primary 1 to Secondary 1. And after that period, I became dissatisfied and unhappy with the services.

There was a time in 2004, I always had to stand in buses. Maybe it was because people thought that a 1.45m student needed a seat more then a 1.60m student. Thus, I had to begin life as a standing student ever since because I had hit the 1.60m target. Then, I have to compete with aunties, uncles, adults and students for seat as those people no longer gives up their seat for me.
And that was when I am just 14 years old.

Next, whenever I boarded 187 or 188 in the wee hours at approximately 6.45am or so, I would be able to locate a prime ' window seat' that nobody seems to bother to sat on, with most of the commuters seated on the outside seat even though it was very crowded. 'Hmms, a seat', I thought to myself. ' That is a great relief.' So I would ask them nicely for the seat and they will happily / reluctantly give it to me.


But they always never tell me that the air con above is dripping onto your head. (most of them anyways.)

What will you do if you are in my situation?

a) Tell the uncle / auntie I don't want to sit down already. And risk the wrath of the standing commuters and the wrath of the lao ah peks and ah mahs.

b) Say ' Oi. Sia la. Why you never tell me it is dripping water sia. I wan to get out of here.'

c) Tahan awhile. A seat for the back and legs is better then seeing those folks grumble and mumble about you behind your back.

d) Take a tissue and stuff it into the aircon vent. And pray that the tissue plan do not backfire and drop back into your head.

e) Take out your umbrella and tell the uncle / auntie beside you that it is raining heavily inside the bus.

So being an intellectual person, I will definitely choose D. But the problems comes in. I DO NOT BRING TISSUE REGULARLY TO SCHOOL. So automatically, I , being the noble type of people, would choose C.

As the Chinese saying goes, 如果我不入地狱，谁入地狱呢？Which roughly translate to ' If I don't go to hell, who will?' So I will suffer this unbearable 'torture' until I reached school or when the person beside me had alighted.

However, if the bus technicians had bothered to check on the air con vents, I will not have to suffer and come to this catch-22 situation, which can be very awkward and shameful. So, I appealed to TIBS to maintain their buses and air con regularly please. Thank you very much.

Yours faithfully,
kh.

Update on Da Er Long.

This is the old picture if you have not been following my tread in the past.

This is the new picture. Taken on 23/06/08.
I wonder what is the cleaners doing. It had been like 2weeks and this act of vandalism is still here. What's more, those idiots had the atrocity to add a new line.
And this is what happened in my Material Process class today. Cool.

Start of school.

Ok almost time to start school. Hope you all enjoy your holidays. (which most likely you guys don't enjoy because it does not seems like a holiday) Wells, can't wait to see people like Jane or Ang Yuan or Janice in school. wahahahahas!

Random Fact: Went Causeway Point Timezone yesterday and went to the machine that have those claw thing-y to catch plush toys. Tried my luck and let me put what happened in IA form.

Input : $4

Signal Processing: Used my 'excellent' eye power and amazing brain analysis strength to judge how to catch the toy.

Final control element: Used my hands and controlled the claw / push a button. And not forgetting my eye power!

Process : $3 for ' catch-the-plush-toy-if-you-can' machine and $1 for ' win-handphones-or-Playstation2-or-NintendoDS-if-you-can-machine.'

What happened in the end? That's the output.

Output: NONE.

That's very disheartening. But wells. Always look at the bright side of life. *as if. Now that's $4 that literally flew into the pockets of the people working there.

Random shots.

Some random pictures to start off the day.


This is the Japanese Pocky. You cant find it anywhere else! Haven ate it though.
This is the Tigger my brother bought for me in Japan. It is from Disney Land. Cute right?

And this is the replica of the shrine in Japan. It has 学业进步 in red lines at the roof of the shrine.

Ok thats all for today's edition of random post. Stay tuned.

18/06/08.

Ok today was our friend, Chor Kiat birthday. And let me introduce him to you guys.

Here it goes. First, we will see how he look likes.



Here goes...

Here goes...

Here goes...


Ok that is him. AKA MUSCLE MAN AKA INCREDIBLE HULK. He is in Aerospace Tech year 3.

He is single and he is looking for a girlfriend. So any takers?



Anyways we went IMM giant to shop for our present. We bought a monkey doll and below is the accessories for the doll.

Guess what? It's a red panties with the word 福 (prosperity) on it.


And they are so happy posing with the panties! Oh my. Look at what Steven is doing?! Horny guy!



And here is the lucky monkey, who got the opportunity to sit on Lydia's lap!

And here is the group photo. From left, Sui Chang's head, Steven, Nicholas, Chor Kiat, Jocelyn, Lydia.

Note of Caution: Girls are always right. Do not offend them. (Unless they are really wrong.)




Ahh. Now I know who is in the wrong.

Punishment: Wear red underwear on head!




Ok thats all.


Now for birthday celebration pictures.

This is all the people in the party. Thanks to the pretty waitress who help us took the picture.



The Mango cake that we bought. Cant remember the full name though.

And birthday boy is looking so happy. Happy 20th birthday!
And here we have the parting shots when Lydia is leaving.

Oh. That's me with Lydia.

And the monkey in full underwear suit taken while in Chor Kiat's house.

They bought the monkey because they thought Chor Kiat look like monkey. So lets have a comparison.Monkey or not, you guys decide.


Took the last 188 back and I saw this in my block's elevator. Cant believed that my block have people who borrow from loan sharks. And such extreme measures are usually used to humiliate the borrower.


It is quite shameful and I should have censored the numbers. But wells, it is for display purpose. So guys and girls, please, I repeat, Please do not borrow money from loan sharks. =/

What I did today..

Watched the Incredible Hulk today with Kelvin, Spencer and SQ at 2.30pm in Westmall Cinema. It was overall a nice movie although the Hulk looks scary at times. Below are some of the pictures.


Quite a disturbing picture in my opinion.

*Imagine it being traveling to your face at 80kmh.*



And a short summary and the sequence of events.

" WHAT THE F***. WHY ARE YOU INSIDE MY ROOM?!"

" ARGHHHH...!!! I AM TRANSFORMING..."


.............and..............
............and..............
...........and..............
..........and.............




" And I've Transformed!!!!! To the Green MONSTER!!!"



Just kidding. xD.


And here's the real one...



And the Villain..




It was just a rip-off from Fantastic 4.. They looked similar don't they? =/



Anyways back to the topic. Now I know what reaching 'Boiling Point' is.


So the whole point is. Don't get angry.


Ok I am so not going to spoil the show for you guys by posting more pictures. Personally, I rated the movie 8/10. The show is nice and entertaining and watch the creator, Stan Lee, drinks the bottle of soft drink near the start of the movie. =/. ( Other honorable mentions for the Hulk includes Jia Xian and Chor Kiat. See the links and you will find out. =)



And last but not least, I tried a very exotic food today. It's Egyptian Kebab and it is located at Jurong East Pasar Malam.

It looks like and tastes like a Bendito Pockett / Popiah with chicken fillings inside. (薄饼).It cost $5 and almost my appetite. But wells. One should have a curious and inquisitive mind. And I believe $5 is worth the experience. What counts is the experience. Although money is more important in most cases. ( I ate the kebab before I remembered to take photos. So sorry guys. Thats a $5 of food that should had been photographed. =/. ) So if anyone of you ate kebabs, please send a picture to me so that we can discussed whether the $5 is well-spent or not.

Fishing for prawns.

Went to Ah Kong house and then Jocelyn call me go fish prawns. At first i was like WTF la so late call me go fish wad prawn. then after much persuasion, i decide to go down 'against my will'. So the journey was not that smooth on Nicolas car because we lack a tour guide. so we just go round and round before we reach IMM to pick up Lydia. Then it took god-knows-how-many-minutes before we reach Farm Mart. Next we have exclusive photographs of the event courtesy of Kuong Hing aka me.


Went Farm Mart to fish for prawns on 15Jun 2008.





Now our first prawning contestant, Wei Lian is carefully watching his baits because he scared Jocelyn go and eat it up.





Then, his partner, Contestant number 2, Jocelyn is trying her very best. For your information, thats not the way to fish for prawns!!! =/


Next, we have our bored and moody prawn constestant number 3, Nicholas.

Last but not least, we have the ultra happy fisher, Lydia posing for our camera.


Wells, at the end of the day, We caught 2 prawns. Thanks to Nicholas we did not go home empty handed after spending 26$ on 2 rods. And one of the prawn is DAMN BIG! A pity their photos were not taken =/ ok thats all on the Prawning experience. stay tuned for more exciting news.
