I have met a the most idiotic person. Well sort of.
During my Sec 2 assemnbly in the afternoon, I met another Sec 2
boy telling his friend all about trains, which are all wrong.
M=Me
H=Him, the Sec 2 boy telling untrue facts
H= Wow! Maglev train! Fastest Train in the world sia!
M= Nah....That's not the fastest....(On the screen shows a
picture of a Shanghai Metro Maglev train)
H= I am a Train fan.
M= I am too.
H= Do you know that SMRT is so stupid to restrict the Alstom
Metropolis C751A to only go at 80 km/h when it's top speed is 120
km/h?
M= The Alstom Metropolis C751A is used on the North East Line,
and its operator is SBS Transit.
H= Oh, I was just testing you (Yeah, my foot)
M= Do you mean the Kawasaki C751B
H= Oh? The Kawasaki Heavy Industries C751B? The train that runs
on the Circle Line?
M= No. The Circle Line trains are Alstom Metropolis C830....
H= Does such a train actually exist? Since you are a train fan,
let me test you. What is the name of the white and red train on EWL
& NSL?
M= Siemens C651? Common sense?
H= No. It is the Bombardier C951.
M= You utter moron. The Bombardier C951 is DTL's train.
H= Then do you know the carrying capacity of a C151
M= Not sure.
H= 1900.
M= Then let me ask you. How many bar trains are there in the 66
C151s
H= em...Let me think...30? of which 20 C151s are unrefurbished
as SMRT would like to preserve them.
M= ALL C151s ARE REFURBISHED! WHAT GENERATION DO YOU LIVE IN?
THE 80's?
I looked away in disgust afterwards.
i alsogot into a similiar situation.that day was the CCLD and i
hade made a new friend while doing joyrides.
Friend:so,you are a train enthusiast?
Me:yea?
Friend:lemme see what do you know about trains
Friend:how many depots are there in singapore
Me:eh . . (doing math)5?
Friend:no lah,only 1.its the one at tampanines
Me:no,5.the ulu pandan depot,the bishan depot,the changi
depot,the sengkang depot,and the kim chuan depot.
Friend:you are lying.there is only 1 depot and it is at
simei
Me:earlier on u said tampanines?
Friend:never mind that,how many cars does a c830 trainset
have?
Me:3.
Friend:Ha,Ha.all trains in singapore are 6 cars long,idiot!
Me:try counting the amount of cars here from the front to the
back.
AT that very moment,the train reached DKT,and i got off
ASAP.
