,I'm Norman here,Age 30,Married with two kids.I want to share
something about my life as a BC.Some of the senior members here
knew that i was an HGDEP BC previously,But due to some family
bussiness,I decided to quit the job on March this year.But
recently,I did make a comeback in this line but from a different
district,That is East side.Possibility that i'm based at BRBP.Hope
so,So this is a bit of my diary i want to share..
Feb 2004,Went for Class 4A(I did not have Class 4 at that
time)training(Both basic & practical)for at least a month plus
before i graduate for service learning with of course three diff
mentors for three diff learn services.. 
1st Service:325(before amendment)for 1 week,Quite boring,Many
trips,Old timers..
2nd Service:83,Quite challenging,I was warned once for not turning
on the lights @ Sengkang,Lucky my mentor who was once the perm BC
of S116 explains to the Senior Timekeeper.My biggest challenges is
from the Secondary School students at Punggol,Headache!!
:wacko:Last for 2 weeks
3rd Service:112,Boring sia,Almost every trip i was early for an
average of 5-10 mins ,Boring point,Partial AC!!Last for 1 month
4th Service:100.Aha,Real world,Real challenges,And my first time
minor accident with a car at Aljunied Rd :angry:Attached for 6
months as a split-shift BC 
5th service:Standby BC,Quite fun to learn many services authorised
by the despatcher there,But did not get the chances to drive
all,Services that i've learn and

& S325,The ones that i've learned but got no chances to drive
are S43,S51,S156,S161& S165.After that i was offered as a
service 34 perm BC which was really bored for me.I've tried
numerous of times pleading with the route manager for a transfer on
other services or other Interchange but was rejected.I ride my
Brother Motorcycle for the first month,After that i take employee
bus on Night shift.I tried to apply at SMRT recently but as usual
they always replied after i was selected by SBST < < :angry:
