Growing Up
Monday, November 19, 2012
As I was browsing through the Singapore Buses Deployments page, I recalled in the year 2004 when I started to look at "Buses-sgwiki" page from the computer at hong Kah North community centre as I was at my grandparents' house back then. I started to look at all the various bus deployments, from Hougang Depot  having a minority fleet of Mercedes O405s and a majority fleet of Volvo B10M - MKII.

But now, to look at the former deployments of the SBS Transit's Bus deployments of Mercedes O405s and Volvo B10M - MKIIs, I have to look at the "Former deployments of Volvo B10M -MKII" and "Former Deployments of Mercedes O405" respectively.

I just have to sigh that time really flies, these buses have retired and I'm getting older and older as the days passes by. It is truly someone would look forward to when they are young, but not at my current age of 21. Now that I know that I am turning to an adult, it just mean nothing but I have to hold responsibilities as a man, as a father and so on. It truly is a challenge for anyone, but that also means that I am nearer to my death anniversary.

Now as I grow older and older, I have walked through the different path of life, faced different challenges and have seen all kinds of people that this cruel world has, from hypocrites to kind souls, but no matter what it is, they are still living with us and we still have to face them eventually.

好人总是没好报, 恶人反而有好报. how much do you agree with this?

Losing Sleep
Thursday, November 15, 2012
I just don't know why is it that I'm still awake at this hour? I'm feeling sleepy and yet I couldn't sleep, just don't know why. Maybe I'm thinking of something deep in my mind? But I'm not sure though, as I don't even know what I'm thinking about seriously.

Well, as days passed I know that I am going to ORD in less than 6 months time, although its kinda happy that I am going to be free, but is kinda sad also as I am going to miss my hard core buddies I have made during my days in NS. I have faced all kinds of people and mainly all kinds of challenges I have in NS.

Just want to ask a simple question here, how do you define leader? I guess the answer is someone leading an organisation etc. But to me, leader does not basically means that. To me, a leader is someone whom is able to lead with efficiency and who cares about the people within his/her care. I have come across a leader whom is inefficient, hypocritical, nonchalant and is someone whom is unapproachable. Well its kinds disappointed and I often ask myself, why do we have this kind of leader around us?

November KL Trip
Tuesday, November 13, 2012
Sorry for not posting for quite some time, well I'd say that my KL trip from November 2nd - 4th was a pleasant and fruitful one, was kind of enjoyed although I so happen to fall sick. Lol.

On the morning we set off, took a Hyundai i30 cab which I chartered to the airport, we arrived at the airport at 7.15am, flight departure was at 9.30am, reached there early is because someone apparently wanted to snap some pictures of planes.

After which, when we arrived at KLIA satellite Terminal, took the aero train to the main terminal, guess what, the aero train is a Bombardier train set which is currently used by the Bukit Panjang LRT! Arrived at the main terminal shortly after.

From there, we took the KLIA Express train to KL Sentral, took us about 28 minutes, it was damn fast. hehe. From there, we bought a premier taxi coupon and took the premier cab to our Tune Hotel. Oh ya, the premier cab is a Renault.

From there, we checked in to our hotel, had our lunch and then we proceeded to our room. It was small but was still ok. We then wanted to head to Genting when it rains, so we called off the plan and went to Berjaya Times Square instead. We went for a walk there and then went to ktv for a karaoke session, it was fun.

As for dinner, we had problems locating the Pyongyang restaurant there as someone here wanted to have a feast there, but managed to find it eventually. After which, we walked to the hospital there to get a cab, a proton waja, but the traffic congestion at KL is really super bad!!! Its like how PIE and AYE is during peak hours, from Tuas to Lornie takes you 60 mins to travel.

After that, we rested in the hotel and shared our life stories among ourselves.

The next day, we set off for Genting, took the Monorail to Titiwangsa station and we took the GO GENTING! bus, a 280hp Scania L94UB. The bus ride was quite smooth and fast, with a powerful acceleration, but its damn lousy and weak when it takes on the steepest region of the slope when going up Genting Highlands. Then a shocking side occured, a Five Stars MAN 24.480 (the coach which I took for my Genting trip ealier on) overtook my L94UB at ease!!! It went uphill at 70km/h!!!

Finally after a long tiring 40 mins of climbing, we arrived at Genting Highlands, went to the casino and took the skyway before we took the Resort World Genting Scania K340IB back to KL.

On the very last day, we went to Pavilion KL and Berjaya Times Square for shopping, checked out of our hotel at 2pm and headed to the airport, although was kinda reluctant to leave that place. Reach LCCT and went to Starbucks coffee to have a drink. The airport was not well utilized compared to KLIA Main Terminal and of course, Changi Airport. Our flight departed KL at about 6.40pm and we landed about 7.30pm (although I cant remember the exact time), we then chartered a cab back home, $55 from Changi Airport, on the new Mercedes E220CGI Blue Efficiency, a nice cab man!!!

I think thats all I have to say about the KL trip, looking forward to my next Hong Kong trip in Jan. Wonder how is it like? But should be an enjoyable one I guess.
