I like to hear from 238 how you managed to solve everything ? Surprised

service_238 SG

ok ula_man... here's what i did...

when u first post the clue i dun even know what on earth are you talking abt Razz then i started looking at the circus... of which i know newton circus and suntec city one and stadium one.. nv thought of amber circus.. duno why also.. those 3 instantly came to my mind.. then i tried figuring out the bomb shelter.. with your answer i concluded dhoby ghaut is one of them. the other could be somerset..

And with this assumption you changed buses, your destination was singapore pools hq.. then i thought of winsland hse which i come across on the st directory. then i thought 700A.

REplied with 2 alternatives. Of which i found both wrong.. but i hope its correct to a certain extent.

Today check back... u said one of my destination was right. I was thinking of winsland house. Then i thought 700A.. sounds weird..

Then i back track all the way from there according to the order of clues given. Bus 36. Left with 1390.. I assumed its between PTB2 and Mandarin Gdns... didnt know at first until i see 1390 on the st directory. laughers..

ula_man: care to solve mine in this thread before you post another one? Smile Very Happy Mr. Green Cheers! Cool

Like whats the capital letter of your hotel in hint 1 and are all the hotels within the CBD area?
I dont know how to start your quiz with 3 services, given clues like school,hotel and stadiums . Mr. Green

ok time to post one down here..

3. The bus then turns right again into a 2 lane road and crosses a bridge.

4. I alighted at the first stop after the bridge.

6. Along the way, the bus passes by a primary school. This school can be seen from the roadside.

8. I transferred to another bus after the sports stadium bus stop.

9. This bus brings me directly to another hotel.

10. I alighted the bus after its looping point. The bus stop description is a name of a hotel.

Here's an easy one, so there! Name the service, the direction of the service and the bus stop I boarded and alighted from.

1. I boarded at where there are drilling and construction going on.

2. Plastic bags and fellow students crowd me as the bus zooms non-stop past several stations.

3. In between these bus stops one of the SMRT Train Depots is clearly visible.

4. Before the station where I saw the depot, my brother service joins me heading for the same terminal destination.

5. The bus then turns off a junction, then joining the Highway.

6. Upon turning off the highway to the flyover, I see a new, reputable school under construction on my left.
