things you wouldn't care about til it hurts you



here's an updated speculative future lines in singapore.
by the looks of it, im gaugin' it'll be done by 2100.
Joo Koon and Pioneer is opened and circle line is almost completed.
part of it will open in June 09.
digging for the Downtown Line depot has commenced for a while now.
that line will start from Bt Panjang to Chinatown.
continued by the future Downtown East Line from Chinatown to Expo.
Thomson line would be next as well.
followed by a Tuas Extension, the NTU LRT and the highly debated Johore line to name a few.





and this is the road layout of Toa Payoh in 1982.
PIE wasn't ready yet. it was still Jalan Toa Payoh.
but apart from that, look to the north.
Bishan was only known as Kwong Wai Siew Pek San Teng Cantonese Cemetery.

ah, so thats the name.
but then again.
i know you readers do not care.
but its these little details that make me smile.
im real easy to please actually.

midnight morning

that was the problem. i was unwillingly early. i traded a comfortable half an hour of sleep just to be ahead of time. just to be there before the others do. it was my first 'stay out' day. the time was 0532hours and i was already at the bus stop awaiting for 985. the first bus leaves the interchange at 0530hours and it would take 22 minutes to reach my stop. great.so that leaves me with another 20 minutes to wait. so i sat at the bus stop patiently. there was no other soul around. no signs of any passerbys. no one. all were still in the safe comfort of their own home. the road was empty. like as if i was the only one living in solitude. no bright headlights zoomed pass me. darkness all around. a sense of fear permeate through me. like a jolt. my eyelids weighed a few pounds at that moment. just a little too much to handle. especially when i have not been receiving enough rest during my stay-in period during the course. the only company i had that kept me from dozing at the bus
