longest bus wait time

It seems like my luck today seems to be on the downside based on what my decisions are.

Okay, not so much of about happenings in school but it is after. So, we went to Queensway Shopping Center to get some dinner. I ordered Laksa for 3 bucks, it's Katong Laksa so the taste is totally similar from what I last ate (oh man it's been so long).

Then after that went to the old old arcade called Circus Circus at the shopping center. The machines there and the rewards from tickets are laughable.

And then it's 5pm and we were all heading home except austin who will be going to skate. First I followed haowei and juinlong to one of the bus stop to look if there's any buses that is able to reach pasir ris and apparently there isn't any, the worse thing is the list of buses shown is only page 2 whereas page 1 is missing. However, there's bus to Commonwealth MRT station which is bus 198. I wanted to take that - but there are 2 reasons why I scrap that idea. First is due to the time where the MRT sucks the crowd in. Second is haowei and juinlong seems a bit bochup on me (yah obviously I am the odd one out everywhere I go).

Then I decided to take bus 14 to reach Mountbatten and change to bus 12. And it seems like I met austin at the bus stop I went to. Took long enough for another bus to come.

As bus 14 exits through the Nicoll Highway, it's time for me to alight the bus to take bus 12. This is where the sick crap comes in - if only I have remembered how inefficient bus 12 can be, maybe I would have decided another way to reach back 'home'.

I've waited for about 25min on the bus stop for a bus 12 to come, and it was a full single deck but there's still space which I did not board. Then, waited another 25min and another full single deck comes but this one there isn't a single space. About 15min later, finally, a double deck came and I boarded that. It's quite full but at least there's seat at the upper deck. That's like 1hour plus of waiting time - fuck.

Took another 1hr 15min to reach pasir ris interchange and it was already 8:15pm. Reached back 'home' at 8:30pm. I can't believe it's a 3hours bus ride. lol.

On the good side, while back home I browsed twitter on my phone and saw there's this 'Win a 1 out of 3 Galaxy S phone' promo by Samsung. I immediately turned on my laptop and joined in the contest. Hopefully, I will be 1 of the 3 lucky winners, mehhhhhhhhhh what a great chance.
