A weekend filled with excitement!
Friday night, I went with Shaun to catch last train since he's attending some event in Republic Polytechnic anyway. I left the house abit too late (at around 9 PM) and went for bus 858. In the end I chose 969 since it's easier to catch the train via 969 at Tampines instead of spotting CGL trains at Changi Airport station via 858 which takes 40+30 mins to reach, compared to just 30 mins with 969.
He nearly missed the train as he left RP late too. :P He ran and jaywalked his way to Woodlands station and boarded the train, which turns out to be 045/046. Videos are taken, so you can just visit my channel to view them.
The next day I went for train camp as per usual, with some new faces. I was late for 1 hour and 10 minutes (oops) and it turned out that I wasn't the latest anyway. Zhihao was slightly later than me and Wenjie's even later (he caught YOG buses). After that we went Joo Koon and then the Skytrain at Changi Airport. This time it's with Youyuan and Zhihao (normally after TC I'll be with Wenjie), when we went back via CGL → EWL → CCL → NSL since both of them wanted those NDP collar pins, which were apparently out of stock. What a waste to visit. :P
The next day I went with Zhihao to film some clips for my National Day Special 2010. After that we went to catch SBS8000Z, it's first day of service on 185. Quite a nice trip though. The bus was very KUB-like in the interior. The acceleration is like when you're in a private coach. In the end I reached home at 9 PM+...
9th August arrived! Went to watch the NDP fireworks. Before that Shaun, Joey and I went to catch SBS8000Z. This time, it's special. The BC was pretty kind and offered a trip into the bus park in Buona Vista Bus Terminal. He even changed the route info of the EDS so that we could take photos! How nice. :)
For both days (8th and 9th August), I caught the KTM 26up Senandung Timuran -- before and after the Sunlong ride respectively. Those were pretty random.
Finally, we had our dinner in a Burger King. The place was quite crowded and we're in a hurry so that we could take the pledge in time at our respective venues -- me and Shaun in Promenade/Esplanade station, and others, at Marina Barrage. We failed to obtain permission to film that occasion, therefore we went for the fireworks instead at Esplanade - Theatres at the Bay.
For some reasons, the others went to The Helix (via Taxi) to film. Quite random though, but was a pretty nice visit. Shaun was so upset about the traffic management when on our way there and gave tons of complains. Hehe...
After which, a marching parade went pass The Helix, when we proceeded to film. Everyone was expecting SMRT/SBS Transit/LTA to be in, but apparently they weren't! Sigh...
There's a planned EMTC, which was then converted to EMJR, the next day. I didn't attend due to fatigue (look at the paragraphs above) from those train outings! Nothing special happened anyway so I didn't really miss anything.
On 14th August, there'll be a train service extension due to YOG opening ceremony. I'll be catching last trains on that day with You Yuan. Stay tuned for videos!
