whoever said "money can't buy you happiness?"


come to papa.

now, i know of this bus fan who travels to Hong Kong once every three months.
and he helps us Singaporean bus fans get those bus models at no extra charge.
thats good cos one is already quite pricey for such a small scale model. 1/76 to be exact.
so thats basically around $60 per bus. older buses costs more because of its limited stock.
just like one of the buses that i ordered from him. i think that specific one costs at least $80ish




i placed 2 orders this time round.
1 for a Mercedes Benz 0305. Singapore actually had this model in the 90s. this bus ended its service in singapore in the year 2000. last known service it served was on 165 (Clementi - Hougang)



and i placed another order of this MAN 24.350/Volgren CR221LD.
simply cos of her brand name. MAN.
my 5 tonners are all MAN, so it only makes sense that i have a MAN bus model to put in bunk.




these are what's in the bunk
3 Volvo Olympians
1 Mercedes Citaro Rigid
1 Mercedes Citaro Articulated
1 Dennis Trident ALX400

and these are what's at home
3 MAN NL263 (sentosa bus)

i officially am an avid bus/toy collector

i finally got it back from my bus freak friend... cant believe i gave it away for free... but to get it back wasnt easy i had to exchange it with another desto (aka destination plate) i had to trade this rare 97 temporary desto... he didn't force me for it, but i felt it was only nice to give something in return.... especially like in this case when i ask for this 185 desto back.. whats so special bout 185? three reasons.. 1) this bus is my childhood service...always took it 2) this service is no longer in existence... so imagine how rare the desto is 3) i ride on the improved version of this service almost daily Improved?? here, a lil explanation 185 (my era) from Choa Chu Kang to Jalan Anak Bukit (loop) 185 was handed over from SBS to TIBS in 1998 due to an agreement.. 185 merged with the newly introduced 989 to become 185 Choa Chu Kang to Jalan Anak Bukit (loop) 989 Choa Chu Kang to Changi Airport PTB 1 & 2 185 + 989 = 985 985 Choa Chu Kang to Geylang Lorong 1 so now, i freq

great. what's been up with me is this. as mentioned way too many time in the utmost gentle manner ever possible. i am done with my driver course. i belong to the early bunch who finished our TP. TP was special cos unlike the member of the public who did their TP test using civilian cars, we used out big lorries for the test. so whos test was tougher? u decide. we were supposed to get OFF. but today, tsk tsk, i ended up doing loads of cleaning. and so i guess tomorrow as well. til 9th march! transport supervisor course. back to route marches and field camp. after fieldcamp now without field camp and route marches plus loads of diabetes Milo from the canteen. and yes. looking back at pictures, i need field camp and route marches. getting fatter. tsk tsk. need gym badly. its been 3 weeks without the treadmill and weights. --------------------------- and my greatest camp companion apart from my PSP would be the books that accompanied me through the night. sleeping at past midnight just
