Go easy on me, guys.....First, I lose the flat I was gonna get all thanks to HDB's new rules....Then, the DBS monkeys royally screwed me from behind with the...

I'm not a train nut but I really am super impressed with how the japanese railyway system works. And the trains are super on time. The ETA displays at the stations are accurate to the minute(they display actual local time and NOT number of minutes bullshit like SMRT). When you consider the sheer number of commuters served, number of stations and trains, and types of trains etc, its bloody amazing that such a complex system can run like clockwork. SMRT is piss poor by comparison.

They dun even bother to display anything beyond 6 mins. Worst any delay, they dun bother one.

somemore e CEO say e 22 train is SMRT buy.. my foot! it's LTA's fund

I still wonder why they put so few gates facing JP when they knew that the interchange was going to be there.

issue is not e gates

they dun bother. End up criss crossing... Your downward escalator going to Int clashes with those entering from ex Int side (those tat came from bus int aft a detour walk).

Actually they should open up 1/2 at JP side for entry, 1/2 for exit. Then 1 downward escalator divert ppl to exit from ex Int side.

U can't switch e escalator direction either, cos it's only making matters worst.

you dun see tis at CBD area.

I don't get the quitter rubbish. our gahmen has been spending taxpayer money on ''quitters' from other countries.

Precisely. And those who move out just because of the foreign "quitters" also realise that they're also seen as such in their new environments.

sbst275 SG

but then again, some are forced out of their countries

like those Malaysians.

and seriously e SMRT CEO got it cheap

The train line is not borne by her as in construction, train purchase (it's our taxpayers $$ into e project).

She only nid to spend on maintenance.... The rest are easy profits for her.

I think if ask her to do a BOT proj, she and Temasek will cry lots. Cos it takes 30 yrs to recover e cost if it's BOT based.

I also liked Seoul much better than singapore. The people were helpful and not annoying although there was a little problem of spitting.

Only isssue is language I guess

Actually I think most Singaporeans are global citizens

How many of us actually have to travel for work these days

Like MPB he is based overseas for mths at a time

Although I travel and don't spend so much time overseas I still have to communicate frequently with Canada and New Zealand and now Australia.

I wouldn't be surprised if we moved out of SG one of these days due to work.

The only thing that is keeping MPB back is his mum

My stupid PC messed up.... the monitor said 'No Signal' but the CPU was humming as usual....

After I hooked up a spare monitor, I still had the same problem.... I figured the problem had to be the video card.

So I opened my CPU's case and gave the video card a knock to make sure it was seated properly.... I also blew out as much dust as I could with compressed air.

Luckily, that solved the problem...

........

laurence82 SG

And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you’ll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you

I felt more at home in japan than I've been feeling in singapore for the last 10 years.

Now, Japan = home. Singapore = shithole I have to work in.

I shall have to return home soon.

Yarrr~

I can hear the food calling~~~~~

The only thing that is keeping MPB back is his mum

Qantas is facing another predicament after a 747 flight to Argentina was forced to return to Sydney today because of an electrical problem.

fudgester SG

That PC problem I thought I had solved yesterday? It has come back.

And this time, it just refuses to be solved.... the way things are, I'm gonna have to lug the whole damn CPU to Sim Lim on Saturday to replace the video card....

And that's not the worst part..... the warranty for parts expired just THREE MONTHS AGO!!!

Dear God.... how about a bit of good news for once, please....... ?
