Today i accidentally forgot to bring my e-z link card with me when i went out to a friend’s birthday party. This was despite a reminder from my mum to get it from her earlier in the afternoon, in case i forget to later. Anyway i discovered it only after i board the bus and i had only a $10 and a $5 note with me then, and so i went up to the bus driver to tell him that and offered to get down the bus at the next bus stop. This driver, instead of showing me a black face, asked where i wanted to go. So i told him the mrt station, which was just another stop away and he said “then nevermind lah. I take you there.”

What a nice uncle!

And from the mrt station, it was nightmare all the way considering this said friend lives in boon lay and thus the amount of public transport i needed to take to reach there.

I had to queue to purchase single trip card from a machine that only dispense $4 change at most (means you cannot use a $10 note to buy a $2.90 ticket) and later queue again to get back my $1 deposit. Then i had to go around changing coins so that i can take the buses. The best part is that i no longer remember how much it takes to take the bus, so i anyhow throw in 80 cents (for just 4 stops) and hoped the driver let me off.

Anyway the party was pretty fun (ny), all thanks to the guys for turning up in tuxedo and what’s not, and being asked to be camermen because well, they are so well dressed.

And yeah, i have once again proven that my pool skills are superbly good ….at hitting in the black ball.
