mrt

hey dudes! todae... me, weirong and may qi met wif a real rare scenario.. let me tell u this real unique story that not everybody had the "honour" of experiencing it. on this very day, we decided to abandon MUTS ( movie under the stars), and make our way home.. as usual, we took an mrt, heading towards jurong east mrt station.. as it is during the peak hours... (we went home at rnd 7) we missed 2 trains and managed to squeeze our way onto the 3rd.. wen we reach jurong east mrt station.. i was praying hard that the mrt will come soon, so that at least.. i do get a chance to catch the ending of my 7 o'clock show.. WOW! 2 mins later.. the mrt came.. sooooo happy.. we boarded the train.. and chatted alot... we waited... waited... waited... all passengers on board got super pissed off cux we haf been waiting for such a long time.. in this packed train and they refuse to start going... at this point of time.. there was an announcement tt the train we are on is no longer serving the passengers.. and we were requested to alight... fine~ we did so.. and waited for the next train which will take arnd 3 mins.. at this veri moment, the pa system announced that we could take the train on the other track [ which supposedly head towards boon lay] to go to woodlands.. due to the many people during the peak period, we didnt manage to board the train.. however... we saw that ppl strted streaming out of tt train aft some time.. we got to noe tt there was another announcement tt the train will nt b serving woodlands... a super fustrated man went to confront one of the station staff.. and got to noe tt the train do serve woodlands.. and all the passengers we pretty much misled by the announcement made back in the train... apparently, there is a miscommunication between them all.. what made matters worse is the ongoing crowd that started streaming in.. adding on to the already packed mrt station.. nt long aft.. a train came frm the middle platform.. HOWEVER~ we were told tt the train is not serving the passengers... another train came frm the "boon lay" track and everyone rush in lyk bees gng for honey.. obviously.. we couldnt get on tt train which is serving woodlands now... despite the many people who managed to SQUEEZE in, the station is as crowded.. this gives you an idea of how bad the situation really is.. later.. the train on the middle platform... which we were not allowed to take... was announced to b available.. so.. once again.. we boarded the train.. however... after ANOTHER long wait.. we were told to alight... this is really disgusting... we felt like morons being get on and off the train!!! after that... they annnounced AGAIN that we were able to board the train... fortunately.. the train did move this time round.. its pretty sad that such things do happen in s'pore.. which is a country that is pretty well-known for its efficiency.. the fact that such things happened one after another... [ the mass power cut-off etc.] brings one to think whether s'pore is still as it is in the past... investors do look out for a country that is worth investing.. somewhere where it is safe.. somewhere where efficiency is common.. the high salary that all share in s'pore is a push factor of investors.. the only way to pull them back is to make them realise we are worth the money.. that in s'pore quality is wad we r going for... with such incidents happening all the time.. it do make investors lose faith here... miscommunication is the worse thing ever that can happen... power failures caused computers to not work and companies losing millions of dollars every minute... these major problems are placed right in front awaiting to b solved.. and i think.. its time for us to settle all these matters.. mayb frm the very basic of being able to communicate well... and not bring much inconviniece to commuters.. esp. during peak hours... time is money... isnt it?

this is jux one veri corner of the mrt station
