Who can resist fireworks?!

Yeah who can resist them. Just poping 10 booms in the air makes the crowd roar and clap and forming a gigantic huge human jam in the CBD making buses unable to reach their destination 1 hr later.

It was first the NDP with stine and her gang, then the Spain display on Friday with Stine n Mao and Saturday China team with mum. Woo! Fireworks is just so cool. Fotos later.. im so lazy to edit them.

On a side note, service providers with a Singapore or part of it in the name doesn have any brains in their service. Names like SBS Transit (Singapore Bus Service) , SingTel (Singapore Telecom) and things like that.

After the firework yesterday, I went to YCK terminal to wait for bus 70 as usual, there wasn't much queue and I presume the bus just went and continue to stand in line. 3 double deck bus 13 went, 2 bus 72 went, 1 bus 162 went, 2 bus 76 went, 4 empty buses went back to the depot....... no sign of 70 at all.

Fireworks starts at 9.30, ends 9.45 squeezing through the crowd and to City hall MRT 10.15 the most. A little detour to Marina Bay and back to YCK give it 10. 50. Till 11.20 still no sign of the stupid bus! There is only one miserable A4 size paper at the front of the stand saying the bus will be DELAYED due to traffic jam, but it was there since NDP Preview date, who wld give a hell notice of that!

Its like at least send some personnel out to explain that the bus wont reach at all in the next hr, be it the bus captain, the kopi boss in the cafeteria or the cleaner auntie. ANYONE WILL DO! Fedup and irritated i went to take bus 86 at the main road and what happen, NO MORE REBATE! They sure earn a lot. And when I leave the whole terminal was like empty with like oni one or 2 ppl in other bus queue, even 72 was empty. The bus 70 queue reach the end of the stairs from the MRT station.

Why cant they like change route? Or send more buses? Or shuttle buses?! OR PLANT A BIG FAT NOTICE POST TO EXPLAIN ANYTHING WITH THE DATE AND THE REASON STATED CLEARLY?! WHY! I reached home at 11.45pm, 1 hr after I reach yck station. I never knew my home was so far away from YCK terminal.

Reali, why? Why do we have to stand services like that? And they are best at shooting anything wrong back at the consumers and not admitting any wrong and best of all NO IMPROVEMENTS AT ALL. How I wish tat rule of bus services have to arrive within 10 mins interval starts immediately and see how SBS going to pay. But pay also not back to the consumers anyway.
