Topping up Cepas Card

I saw something funny when i was at Novena MRT. I had some problem with my Ezlink card and approached the control station for help. Pasted on the control station service counter's window, there is this notice...

For Topping up Cepas Card

Give us your Cepas Card

not 

the Whole Wallet

I was amused and ask the staff at the control station, why place such notice? The friendly staffs told me that, it happen many many times before so they have no choice but to place this notice.. There are some customes who give them the whole wallet even argue with the staff when told to just give Cepas card not the whole wallet..

Imagine when ask by the traffic police for your driving license, pass him the whole wallet.. see the reaction of the traffic police.. or when you go to the bank, pass the whole wallet to the teller and say, i want to withdraw $50... When ask for the bill in a restaurant, you pass the whole wallet to the waiter, you see what happen when they return you the wallet.. ??

Well its common sense to pass someone the particular document one required and not the whole wallet or bag..

Circle line DOWN on Eve of Hari Raya Haji

Not again, not again.. I was once again caught in the MRT disrupts, this time on board the Circleline.. I was heading home for a meeting when i board the Circleline from one-north station at about 10.15pm.. I was in the first carriage  things looking fine and i was listening to some motivational talk on my mobile phone's Mp3.. Before the train arrive at Farrer Road Station, half of the lights in the train went off.. Everybody just stare at each other.. well the train still moving.. when it arrived at Farrer Road station, the doors open and was halt for about 15mins, Announcement were made, but only say this train will stop here for a while due to some technical problems, but many commuters were still waiting for the train to resume..

After 20 minutes of wait, i decided to get out of the station hopping to find other alternate route home, yes i was tired after a whole day.. At this point only a handful of passengers walk out, many still prefer to wait in the train.. As i was head towards the gate gantry, i saw a small crowd, crowding the control station asking for refund . Well refund was made on the spot to passengers, i got my 70cents refund.. Then got out of the station and look for alternative..

Finally i discovered bus 165, which goes to Hougang Interchange. At this time many people starts to crowd that bus stop.. When 165 arrived so passenger trying to squeeze onto the bus and i heard the lady bus driver asking "Why there is such a huge crowd during this hour at this bus stop?" and i told her it is due to MRT down.. Yeah it was the eve of Hari Raya Harji.. Upon arriving at Hougang Interchange, i took the North East MRT to Sengkang, where i bum into a friend. By the time i reached home it was 15mins pass midnight..

Saw the news this morning on the paper and realize that the MRT disruption last night is due to power failure. Well that explain why half the lights went of in the train before the halting at Farrer Road Station.

Malaysia Cup 2012

Singapore may be out if the Malaysia Cup 2012 Final.. but i would like to give a huge applause to the LionsXII team for their good fighting spirit. Able to reach the Semi-Final of the Malaysia Cup is not an easy task for a team that had withdraw from the Malaysia Cup since their last win in 1994.

Many fans out there are still passionate about the Malaysia Cup especially the older fans that following them since the 70s. I still remember attending the then Malaysia League matches during my school days with my school friends and my soccer kakis.. We cheer, jeer and were having fun doing the then "Kallang Roar".. That trademark "Kallang Roar" really intimidate the away teams playing at our National Stadium.

Losing by penalty kick off does not mean LionXII is not capable of winning, it is just that the 90mins game have to end in either way.. :)  CHEER on for the LIONSXII  !!!
