Moooo...

"Mr David Segar, a project officer who had been waiting more than 20 minutes for a cab at Boat Quay on Wednesday night, said: 'It's so frustrating when empty cabs refuse to pick up locals, but only stop for tourists who pay ridiculous prices.'"

And sometimes we wonder what the Public Transport Council does, other than approving those yearly transport fare increments submitted by SBS and SMRT. This is not a freaking "overnight" problem... its been going on for months! and according to some, years! about a month and a half ago, me too, together with my mum tried hailing for cabs at Clarke quay, but to no avial. when we moved to taxi stand at a nearby hotel, the queue was long, but still no cabs... took us about 30 mins++ before a decent driver took some pity on the local Singaporeans and picked us.

day one of five of eugene's busy teaching week is over. four to go. yay.

It was a good long weekend last week =)

Going back to the zoo brings back memories... when our school teachers would bring us there, visiting the animal enclosures... being amazed at the long necks of giraffes, awed by the cuteness of the lil penguins.

Treasure today. Because when you grow up... you will miss your younger days...






ahh... this one tried to bite my ear off! thank God i ducked on time...

Rainy night...
