tigger bus journey

Tigger send his trustworthy automobile for service/repair on Sunday. This morning, tigger put on his backpack and sling across his lappie and off he left home at 6:15am on his journey to Jurong.

It is refreshing for tigger to take public transport. There is always new thing to play with along the way. Tigger did a slow stroll towards the bus stop about 10mins away.

There are 2 options that tigger would take the journey to office. By Bus - 1 bus - 1:15hr later, alight and walk 5 mins to office. By Bus - MRT to Outram => Jurong East => IBP feeder bus. Estimate 1hr.

After deliberating half an evening, tigger decide to spent sometime sleeping while on the bus! How indecieve of tigger? It is so nice to get an opportunity to sleep on the move!

Upon reaching the bustop, took a look at the bus chart and realised that bus 153 no longer go Jurong Town Hall Road! Alamak! no choice, have to take MRT leow. It is okay, tigger said. Have to adapt and move on. Took the next bus that goes to Serangoon MRT.

Morning activities in MRT are filled with school children and folks going towards work. It is nice to watch the daily commuters going around, while tigger just watch by the side.

Tigger wasn't sleeping on the train hor! Tigger has a bright idea Instead of changing train at Outram, why not go further to Harbourfront and take the bus there to Jurong Town Road! Not much crowd and might get a seat furthermore! Ahhh....how clever tigger is

Tigger use his mobile GPRS and search for bus information to take him from Harbourfront to office. It dawn on tigger that it is bus 97 and not bus 153 that is suppose to take him from home to Jurong! What have tigger been doing this morning! Simple bus journey also make mistake! Fortunately, bus 97 have changed route from Marina Center to Jurong East. That means he still have to take MRT no matter what.

Tigger came out of Harbourfront MRT and proceed to walk to the bustop outside Harbourfront center. There are 3 buses to Jurong Town Hall. Bus 97, 97E(express) and 143. Just to make sure, take a close look at the bus route chart at the bustop to make sure it is the right one!

Bus 97 came rolling into the bus bay. Tigger was looking at the chart 97E seems faster leh...might as well wait a bit longer to test out. Anyway 97 route seems changed and go into Clementi and make it so long! Soon Bus 143 came over, Wah not much passenger leh! Ok, mai tuo leow, tigger jump onto 143! 97E can wait for next time lah.

This is the first time i am taking bus 143. The route is very different from 97, that explains why not much passenger. Some of the route, i have not travelled before, or rather i couldnt recall go through prior. It is new to tigger and i keep looking around to soak in the new environment. Finally reaching Jurong Town Hall road leow, just turn right and i am few bustops to office.

Bus turned left instead of right.......!!!!!! Uncle where are you bringing tigger!!!! Aiyoh....tigger panic...die die....wrong direction! Instinctly, tigger alighted at the next available bus stop at Pandan Reservior. Tigger must be looking like a clown! Going around in business clothing,sling with lappy and walking around in neighbour blocks...tigger is out of place!

Bo pian, tigger have to walk that 10 mins to office.

In the middle of the walk, i realised that bus 143 are making a loop inside Pandan area and return to Jurong Town Hall! Alamak! Kancheong king!

Reach office at 7:57am. Tigger
