MRT TALK

During Peak hours when everyone is pack like sardines inside the MRT train, one can never hold a decent conversation without being heard by nearly half of the passengers around ear-shoot perimeter. HOOT!! But no choice lah! So it's better to zip up your mouth if you want to say anything confidential...

This random conversation caught my attention cause the lady in voice was talking so loudly that I could still hear her loud and clear amidst Moi plugged into my IPOD and the train was traveling underground...

Anywhere... here's snippets of THE conversation... =P

日期: 2007年12月28日(星期五)
时间: 一个普通的夜晚
地点: 某某地铁车厢
人物: 甲与乙
国际: 不详

甲 : 我还没到乌贼路。。。听说新加坡的乌贼路的圣诞彩灯非常漂亮。。

Me (to self) : I wonder when our Orchard Road has become the road of "crow thieves" or squids. [laughs]

....Random conversation...

甲 : 昨天我不知道为什么不能上网买东西。

乙 : 你要上网买什么？

甲 : 衣服。。。我都没衣服了。。。

乙 : 你柜里不是还很多衣服吗？都不穿了？

甲 : 都穿完了。都要换了。不能穿了。

Me (to self) : I didn't know clothes can wear "finish" one leh. [More laughs]

乙 : 你的衣服看起来还好嘛。。。

甲 : 不行了。我的衣服都给洗衣机打坏了。。。不能穿了。新的一年就要全部换掉。

Me (to self) : Wow... .甲 is super loaded hor... [More laughs]

What is meant to Be Will Be

We didn't plan or arrange to meet.

We didn't think we will meet since our hours are so different.

But we managed to take the same train from different places.

AMAZING....

I am so glad to take that ride with you...

I am so glad to walk that walk with you...

Bliss..really bliss...reminds me of the movie "Sliding Doors".

Ask iris

Sorry know I have not been blogging for ages. :) So today wanted to share something. If you all have been taking bus like me. Then iris is someone that you MUST know if you have not known yet. iris is the acronym for Intelligent Route Information System by SBS Transit. There is actually 2 main services provided by iris, the iris Journey Planner and the iris NextBus.

iris Journey Planner helps you plan the best way to get to your destination by providing travel solutions on our bus, LRT and/or NEL, based on the cheapest fare, shortest walking distance or shortest travelling time. But I find it might not always give you a good answer. Sometimes the route it plan seem to take me all over Singapore. :p But then maybe the location I am looking at is too ulu. :p

iris NextBus is our latest iris service and it offers bus arrival time estimation on a real time basis. You now have the convenience of knowing how many minutes away your bus is from your bus stop or how long more before the next bus departs from the bus interchange. iris NextBus is available on our website and via GPRS and sms on mobile devices. This service is a service that I use almost everytime when I am going home. :) So that I do not have to waste too much time waiting at the bus stop as sometimes my bus service can take very long to come. :p But do give yourself about 10 - 8 mins buffer to get to the bus stop. Because depending on the traffic condition, sometimes the waiting time might get shortened or lengthened. The only disappointing thing I have is that the sms is only available for SingTel customers. So I can't use the sms service. :(
