18 Mar 2009

Managed to clear 80% of my homework this afternoon, wanted to do it yesterday though.

Anyway, woke up at 6:45am this morning, had abit of breakfast and headed out. Where to? Bukit Merah. Took the MRT after getting a copy of the morning free newspapers. Alighted at Tiong Bahru and transferred to Sv 16. Arrived at Bukit Merah at around 8:30am. Searched for a nice spot for the photo. The intersection of Bukit Merah Central and Jln Bt Merah was a good one. 3738L arrived at 9am, 2997L arrived at 9:02am.


2997L nearing the end of its 198 journey.

Met xin zhi and i left for Bt Merah Interchange. Took 2719Z on 272 to find a photo spot for the KUB that xover from 198 later that morning. Dint find any nice spot as most places the sunlight was either 50/50 or had heavy vehicle flow. Should say that Bukit Merah is not at all photo friendly... Decided on a spot along Telok Blangah Cres, Blk 11. Took a ride on the KUB on its 2nd trip. Should say BBDEP's maintanance is horrible, roaring engines, banging doors are common.

A ticket from the ride.

Let's talk about yesterday. 932L and 896H were reported to be on 502. Wanted to go down for the 1045 arrival at The Esplanade. After the Math lesson it rained, so I went home. Got the timings from other fellow bus fans and went down to Esplanade after lunch. Caught 896H on its unofficial last trip. Read why HERE. After that received news that 932L dint come out. Went into the Esplanade to try to get online via Wireless@SG. Saw people 'stealing' power from sockets at the concourse to charge their handphones... Wireless@SG is horrible, tried to connect for like 30mins but to no avail.

Went to Serangoon, Hougang and Sengkang. Cleared 946Y, 1933C and 1952A before heading home on Sv 27. A point to note, there were still seats at Sengkang, what a miracle!
