A Week's Passing
Another eventful week has just passed. And school looms in the week ahead.
Monday was very much spent slackin at home, playing computer games and stuff. Went out with Siong and Xia for dinner, and finished Xia's bottle of vodka mixed with sparkling juice.
Had a project meeting on tuesday, and made dumplings for dinner together with Siong and Xia on wednesday. I mean everything was hand made, right down to the peeling of prawns and cutting of vegetables.
On thursday, a whole bunch of us went to Sentosa for some beach activities. Well my entire family went, and so did Kelvin's. Rufus, Gaius, Sherlyn, Emily, Joel, Jason, Siong, Eunice, Cheryl and Stephanie also tagged along. Played volleyball at a court until we got chased out by a hotel attendant for not booking the court, then off we were pushing each other into the water and throwing sand at one another. By the way, the seaweeds looked really disgusting. Played a bit of soccer afterwards, then went back to the sea for a leisurely swim. To top it all off, we "fished" a live octopus right out of the water.
Slacked at home on friday for the better part of the day. Then went out for dinner and some "pool" or should I say, amateurish billiard with the choir members near Katong Village. They ordered some Singapore Sling cocktail for me and I thought it tasted like roses blended with cherries. Ewwww..
Afterwards, we walked all the way to the bus stop quite some distance away, wanting to catch the last bus 55 home. And guess what happened? We arrived at the bus stop around 11.30pm. The bus service information guide at the bus shelter stated that the last bus was supposed to leave the terminal nearby at 11.53pm. So thinking there would be a last bus, we waited for it instead of sharing a cab home. We waited until about 12.15am or so when an off-service bus 55 drove by. The driver indicated to us that there would not be any no. 55 buses coming our way. We waited till 12.30am before we finally decided to share a cab home.
What was that all about? They clearly stated that the last bus would be leaving the terminal at 11.53pm and yet in this case the last bus left before 11.30pm. That is utterly irresponsible and it simply reinforces my beliefs that SBS's service standards suck. They are the first when it comes to fare hikes, but where are the quality hikes? If they hadn't misled us with their incorrect info, we'd have taken a cab home at 11.30pm instead of waiting for the damn bus and having to pay the 50% surcharge. I'm so going to file a complaint... Don't they think they can do whatever they wish just because they monopolise the transport industry in Singapore.
Those people ought to be taught a lesson.
