The longest journey home...
Just a few hrs ago there was a train delay that started somewhere from Raffles Place up to Queenstown. I was on my way home from work at that time. I can’t help but noticed many commuters became very impatient when they hear the announcements repeatedly. After several delays and the long wait, everyone was told to alight at Queenstown station because the trains will all turn back to Pasir Ris. At first I thought that it was due to some technical issue but I doubt so. It could be an accident that might happen on the tracks.
Anyway, as soon as I alighted, I saw hundreds of people waiting to board the next train. So, I decided to wait as well. Then there was another announcement from the station that we had to take the bus home. I knew I couldn’t get a cab home, so decided to just grab any bus that comes. There are just too many people and the weirdest thing is that these people were all standing in the bus bay and some even in the middle of the road. I think these people are insane. Just because there are hundreds of people waiting for the bus, it does not mean that they can stand anywhere they want. And when I see these people rushing and pushing to get on the bus, I thought I just back off and wait for the next bus.
These pics were taken secretly with my O2, that is why I couldn't get the whole crowd in the pics. hehee...Anyway, many people have either boarded the bus home or called the cabs. So lesser crowd...
After waiting like almost 45 mins at the bustop, there came about 4-5 TIBS buses labeled ‘MRT SHUTTLE’. It’s free so why not right? So I had a free ride to Jurong East station and continued to take the train from there. While I was in the shuttle bus, I overheard the bus driver saying that there was a suicide at Clementi station. I have no idea where he got that news. Let’s just wait for the news tomorrow. Anyway, when we went past Clementi station I saw 4 police cars lined up at the side of the road. Hmm…it made me so curious.
The worst part is that it took me almost 3 solid hours to get home. I need my sleep man! Badly!
