A "slow by seconds" day

Reached Buangkok MRT station and the train to Harbour front just left.
Reach Outram MRT station and the passenger lift just left.
After lunch and made my way to Yio Chu Kang MRT station, once again, the train just left.
From Yio Chu Kang MRT station to Expo MRT station, finally just a 3 minute wait, guess my "slow be seconds" day was finally over.

At Expo, SBS Service No. 12 just left when I about to reach the bus stop. Never mind, I'll will SBS Service No. 38 across the street to move to Tampines then. Half-way walking across the overhead bridge, Bus 38 came and left.

What luck today!

Miserable struck again. After alighting from bus 38 at Tampines, the bus in front, Bus No. 27, just moved off, leaving me to waste another 15 minutes to wait for the next bus.

Hmmmmm... Am i just plain unlucky or otherwise?

MRT timing

Was making my way from Tanjong Pagar back to Sengkeng this afternoon during off - peak hour.

Its quite a "delayed" day. 14 minutes of waiting time gone just like that.

When I entered into Tanjong Pagar MRT station, the train to Outram MRT just left.
Waiting time for the next train - 7 min.

Alighted at Outram MRT and walked over to the NEL line. "
Prefect" timing by the 2 different MRT operators.
NEL bound train just left when I (the first passenger walking over from the other side). Another waiting time of 7 min.

Along the trip, the wait for passenger at each station seems to be longer, the door also closed slowly and opened again at each station.

To the Minister of Transport:

Unless the train can comes into the station every 3 minutes, forget about encouraging public transport usage.

Moscow metro runs at every 3 minutes interval at all times. As compare our world-class system to this.

To the Ministry of Transport:
Start comparing our fares to other world-class system in other cities such as Perth and Moscow.

Inflation rising

Oil price has reached a new record price of US$90.
Expect the transport company and utility company to raise their charges real soon.

The bread is going to cost 20 cents more with flour price going up.
Expecting a chain effect to start rolling in the consumable.

Property price is expecting to raise further.
The rich will just get richer whilst the poor continue to struggle more.

The government is saying that the future is bright.
I guess the brightness refer to the path of light that one would see that, to lead him to the nether world.

Work hard and get rewarded.
I have no comments on this!

Mr Lock case

The court has remarked that this is a case where one uses a sledge hammer to crack up a nut.

For a difference of a few hundred dollars, the legal fee balloons into tens of thousands under the hand of 2 insured under the same insurer - NTUC Income.

Was it pride of the 2 drivers that is involved in?
Was it an oversight of the insurer staff at fault?
Why the goodwill offer comes so late after trashing one up in court?

Please, we are Asian, we are welcoming foreign talents.
But please do not bring in the bullshit logical from the West that everyone has their own rights and they deserve to be compensated for any inference of their rights.
Our brains is on our head, not our ass.

Same thing applies to the Judges.
Insurers are cash rich, so don't everything pay, pay, pay to the "victims".
So obvious that many foreign workers are maligning about their injury, yet you made the innocent party reward those "actors" for their few linings of "pain, pain,pain".

You tripped and fell due to your carelessness while walking in the pathway, you take responsibility of your own carelessness and dun accuse the pathway is uneven.

Do you see people tripping everyday on the same pathway?
