TODAY IS YOUTH DAY!!!!!!!!!this is the day i am looking forward to as the new bus service 128 starts operation today at 7.18am. I went to YCK station to catch the first bus, instead, i missed it and i waited for the 2nd bus at 7.30am. while i was waiting, there were reporters at the bus stop filming. i was like shocked. nevermind. i boarded 128 on SBS8177Y. there were timekeepers on the bus to keep track of the time as they are trying to reformat the timings of the bus. i took that bus to Shenton Way. while at Shenton Way, teng swee told me that there were reporters on the last bus of 128 which was on SBS8181J. i was shocked as they would follow KP up the bus to interview him. when KP reached the last stop, he told the reporters that we didnt want to appear on TV. ok. we waited for alan. but he was on 70. when he came, we took an off-service 70 to the terminal. the driver was late so he let us alighted at the stop outside the terminal. Alan, KP, Ah Jay, teng swee, JY and i ran all the way to the terminal. just nice the reporters were on the bus. it was my first time going to Shenton Way bus terminal. the bus that the reporters were on went off-service and was going to AMK int and is operating on the S-shift of 269. we took the bus. then the reporters alighted from the bus, so it was left with us and the personal from Comfortdelgro, on the bus. the bus went through Cross Street, CTE, AMK ave 1 and then AMK int. while on the bus, we had a chat with the personal from Comfortdelgro. we talk about the buses and alot of stuff. while talking to her, we jotted down our contact details on a piece of paper and alan passed it to her. once we reach AMK int, we alighted. then we never thought that the bus we were on operated on 269. we boarded it. we took it around AMK and back. on the way, KP and alan left. then it was left with Ah Jay, JY, teng swee and i. so Ah Jay told me the Comfortdelgro HQ has the bus guides that i have been hunting for a long time. so we planned to go to the HQ to get the bus guides. we took 159 to go there. once we reached braddell road, we went to the HQ and change our ICs for the visitor passes. we went up to the 3rd floor as Ah Jay knows somebody there. but when we were at the 3rd floor, the person Ah Jay knew have resigned a long time ago. then we went to the 5th floor. but nobody was there. so we went to the east wing to ask the receptionist. then she told us to go to the 5th floor of the west wing. we tried again. then Ah Jay knocked on the door. someone came to open the door and asked us what are we here for?? RJ told him that we were there for services guides. so we went to the shelf that have alot of bus guides. we took the bus guides we wanted. then Mr Teo came out to ask us what are we doing at the office? then we told him that we were here for sevice guides. then we talked about buses, the models, the routes and other stuff. then here came Mr terence ng. his desk have service plates of both old and new. we introduced ourselves to him. and we asked him about the buses and the service plates he had. we took the service plate of the withdrawn CITYBUZZ SERVICE C3. we took a picture of it. then we asked mr ng to help us take a picture of us together with the sevice plate of C3. then we waited for him to finish his chat with his colleague. then we ask him whether we could take pictures with the side destos and the front desto of service 60. then we took the old desto of 198, 7, 196, and the front desto of 60. we took different destos. Ah Jay took service 7 side desto, I took service 196 side desto, Teng Swee took the front desto of 60 and JY took the side desto of 198. then on the 2nd shot, Ah Jay took the side desto of 196, i took the front desto of 60, Teng Swee took the side desto of 198 and JY took the side desto of 7. it was a good one. after the photo shot, i went to Mr Teo's desk and take a look of the premium and cityshoppers services. then he asked whether we wanted a copy of both maps. we said we wanted it. then he printed out the maps. we even took the poster of the season pass. then we left the building and took 13 to bishan for lunch. after that, Ah Jay had to leave. JY, teng swee and i took 410. teng swee left . JY and i took service 410 to bishan then we parted ways. i took 52 to JE while he had a joyride on 55. it was the best day i ever had.
