On New Year's eve..we had the luck of travelling on a bus no 969 which is driven by a mad bus driver who has an affection of slmming his brakes and making passengers fly all over the place.
However, this could have been much worse.....
Somewhere in sunny Pasir Ris....
Two random innocent Meridians are standing in random bus....
And then..for no reason, our driver decides to slam his brakes....
And we have a romantic ending to our random comic. =)

Mugging Withdrawel Symptoms Part6:PW Fiesta...Had a really sian day doing PW. Time was well spent today as it is by far the most productive day in the history of my group. Started with the interviews with Mr Kua, which was the shortes interview I ever gave in my entire life. His answers were rather short and I coul'nd think of additional questions to bomb him. Then interviewed Geraldine which was much easier. Ended up laying a bit of piano with her and her friend. then went to hand in the OGL application forms. Continued to work on the stupid WR which was like 3 hours infront of the bloody screen. Best of all, the stupid school laptop always has a bad attitude to its users and the mouse keeps running out of control...literally. Anyway, Thankyou Jon, meng and Evan for all the effort today! =) TOnight must Pia hard as well okay?
Le Art de Physics Promotionale Papier.
Some "art' Jian Yao did on someone's physics paper. Plus a wonderfully big signiture of Geraldine Tay. But it's quite obvious who drew the..err..."thing"...Who else can have worser drawing skills? haiz..Jian Yao ar Jian Yao! =)
Shopping with 3 chiobus @ SengKang
Spent the afternoon at Compass Point with Clarice, mabel and SiYi. Did'nt call Leon to come along as we did'nt want him to pontang his Wushu. So I ended up being the "Plaq-card". Mabel was right about the state of the place:larger than White Sands, but more useless than White Sands. The entire mall was like a direct copy from Tampines Mall minus the Cinema and all "funny funny" things that you expect to find in Tampines. The mall just lacks personality and we had a hard time looking for a place to have lunch cuz almost all the food offered there could be found in Pasir Ris. I mean, why go so far to SengKang to eat Macs when Pasir Ris already have a very nice one? We even tried contacting Mr Chee and asked him if we could go his house and cook lunch for us. And very obviously his mum refused.( Who will be crazy enough to let 4 run-away kids into your home?)
Then decided to makan at Jack's cuz they had a student meal which matched our budget. Talked for 2 whole hours about Secondary school stuff while it rained like dog-shit outside. Our conversation involbved lots of people, including a Physics teacher who taught her class how to bully another science teacher. Which reminds me very well of Miss WAng who taught us how to bully the stupid OM. anyway, our TK OM is like THE best OM to bully in the world.
Then walk-walked around Compass Point and help mabel find a thumb-drive.
Saw my junior at the Library with a rather fat sling bag. (Presunably containing a heap of TK quality Mugging material).haiz...poor O-Mugger.....which is still better than us, M-Muggers. Said "Hi" and then continued our walk-walk activity.
In the end, we did'nt get the thumb-drive. We went Best Denki instead and started looking at kitchen appliances. Saw the Perkafe Oven which costs $290, almost double the price we paid from the second hand dealer. And we loooked at humungous fridges which Perkafe has almost no $ to buy. We even thought about buying a 3-in-1 sandwhich toaster where we can serve hot sandwhiches, waffles and grilled food. All of this is nothing but a cloud of stupid dreams whizzing above our heads. The only chance of us ever getting any of these appliances to our cafe will be a massive donation from Hysen's....which is almost impossible..cuz he is not so crazy. So Sayonara to Big Fridge and sandwhich toaster.
National Bus Foundation(NBF)
This is an episode from the MrBrown Show which I have strong feelings for. It's about....Here's the link:
Five JC students waiting at a bus stop outside a Junior College in Pasir Ris for bus 89. The kids frantically waved at the bus as the bus appraoched the bus stop as they have waited for an agonizing 20 minutes. Then, with a sadistic grin, the driver steps hard on the accelerator and speeds away, leaving behind 5 kids with curses flying out of their mouths.
And...
Three JC students waiting outside Campass Point for Bus 27. Out of a sudden a half-rusting Bus 89 approaches the stop with it's last breath of oxygen. With a painful cough, the engine dies and the bus breaks down in front of their faces. After some hard effort opening the rear radiator, the driver manages to inject the last bit of life to the engine and the bus haggers off with a swinging radiator door that threatens to langa(knock down) unsuspecting motorists.
With such third world sandards of service, SBS Transit has decided to take its commuters on a hike. A price hike that is supposedly "painless".

SBS Introduces Rocking Bus Seats: After some long discussions with the LTA, SBS has finally introduced the long awaited rocking bus seats. This has been widely celebrated by the public, who have endured over 40 years of a rather unsatisfactory bus service. SBS Chairman Mr Peh Ohr Dai explains how their new seats work:
"Our new Bus seats are very economical and cost-effective. This is because they are not new at all! But it is NEW because it is a very new and innovative. Just like our company, always coming up with new innovative ideas to serve our beloved customers! Besides, NEW water is not new at all, because it is reclycled from our sewage, but we call it new, because it is re-NEWed! Just like our NEW bus seats, they are re-NEWed from our current seats! Our seats will be progressively modified with time because we must stay economical. This done by encouraging our bus drivers to slam harder at the breaks. The force produced by this innovative action will shake off the central screws in our "old" seats. By removing the screw, we have created a very comfortable rocking chair as it allows the passenger to rock his seat forward and backward."
There have, however been questions raised by the public whether the seats are safe. Especially when the bus driver slams his brakes...
Note to readers:
This is no joke. Try taking the NEW wheelchair friendly buses on line 196 and other lines that offer such service. Some of the screws on the seats are really falling off..and no one is caring...do try rocking the seats( They really rock then the bus accelerates and decelerates)...it's very "comfortable". But nose break don't find me ar...haha...
Mugging updates:
Gosh...screw math...this is probably the only subject where I am curse while I mug. I'm currently havving a really nice problem with method of difference and it's killing me. Tried to slot in bits of China Studies to moderate the cheemness in my brain..grrr...can't wait 4 MYE to be over.
Anyway, apologies for my poorly produce cartoon on the bus seats. I did them with photoshop in 15 mins during dinner break. hehe...I'll come up wif some better quality products soon...I mean..in the not too far future..like Dec Holidays

Panda 
Hong Kong's Ocean Park is having 2 more Pandas. These pandas, (from top to bottom) LeLe(male) and YingYing(female) will meet Hong Kong residents starting 1st July. It was hoped that the Pandas will bring about better relations between Hong Kong and Beijing...though it is generally encouraged that people believe they are part of a conservation message.
Visit http://www.oceanpark.com.hk/panda/index.html for more info.

Bus Breakdown: 2nd time in 24 hours
This probably shows how inefficient SBS Transit( Si Beh Slow Transit) is. As mentioned earlier in my previous post, some bus uncle destroyed his brakes after slamming it once. As for today, the driver destroyed his gears. It happened at Bedok this afternoon while he was reversing his vehicle. And duno for what reason, he slammed his..err...brakes and gear? And he ended up locking his gears in reverse. So our bus was stuck cuz it could only move backwards...wth...never thought the bus so poorly maintined one..
This time the Bus Uncle did not curse as much as the vulgar one yesterday. But he caused a mini bus pile-up cuz he was blocking the driveway. Which means at least 5-6 services have been delayed thanks to him. No wonder AhMeng was late for school...who ask her bus to break down also..in the morning..
