SMRT hates me...



everyday, the mrt is part of my journey to work...every morning, i will reach YCK station at 720am and board the 725am train and will reach raffles place by 745am...and reach office at 758am...this is like my everyday routine...sometimes, i may catch the earlier train...i think i share an okay relationship with SMRT..

BUT.......

i think i need to revisit my relationship with SMRT..for the past 2 days...i was late for work because of SMRT!!!!

on tuesday...i reached YCK at my usual timing..and funnily i realized it was unusally crowded...and the display board read : marina square 2 mins and this message was on the board for like 20 minutes!! then a guy kept saying : please do not board the oncoming train as it's out of service and this guy repeated this line so many zillion times but i didnt see any train approaching at all...so this went on for like 3o minutes before i saw a train crawling and stopping at the station..the train was packed...and guess what, the doors could not open! *laughs* i could see the anxious look on the students inside and outside the train...people are whipping out their mobile and calling whoever in their office to inform that they will be late...and truly yours was one of them...the train couldnt move for like 10 minutes...and there are technicians running around..and people are streaming out of the station...soon, taxis and cars were all jamming up and everyone seemed to be frantically flagging and calling for cabs...as for me...*grins* i called my dearest father!!

on wednesday...i reached YCK at my usual timing...the train came at its usual timing...everything seemed usual...saw some familiar faces...until the train reached TPY...and then the same guy came on air and said : this train is delayed due to faulty trackes, sorry for any inconvenience cause and this guy repeated this line at every single station and the train has to stopped at every single station for like 5 minutes....this happend from TPY to DG and once again...people were whipping out their mobile and truly yours was again one of them...and since iwas on the train..there's nothing i could do...so i continued reading my book...thank God that i had a book with me.... *smilez*

mmm...frankly speaking..i really think SMRT HATES ME!!!

yea i was caught in that stupid delay bleh it was pretty unlucky. I left the house at 7.30am and i thought i was lucky cos my side of the train wasnt in the delay. But bloody hell after one stop i realise i have been on the wrong train and i should be on the delayed line. How stupid. This is what happens when no one drives me to work.
