Boarded the shuttle bus to head back to work. Me and my colleagues were shocked when the bus started to go by a different route and we began wondering if we boarded the wrong bus. Thankfully after a while it meandered back to the office by a different route. Think it was either a new driver or the bus company wanted to try a new route…

Lunch at Sakuraya
Had rice and unagi mixed with egg set. Ate my lunch staring at these dead fish…
Crazy train ride
I was trying to get on board a train from a square platform at a central station where there were train stops at all four sides. There were 4 trains waiting and all their doors opened at the same time. I picked one and got in. Found out that it was a “Safari” line that was headed to the city.
Lupus
Found out earlier today that one of my friends (RN) was afflicted with lupus. I wasn’t sure what it was but it sounded serious as she was hospitalised for 3 weeks in July and is still trying to recover from it all. Hope she’ll be ok…
Here’s some information on lupus in case you’re ignorant like me:
Blogging in Mandarin?
Just saw YL come online and a crazy thought came to me. Why not try blogging in Mandarin? It will probably help me develop my (pathetic) Mandarin skills. Hmmm…
Nah… Maybe even if I wanted to, WordPress doesn’t support Mandarin. 对吗？
Darn it.
Thailand “MRT” card
If you’ve never seen one before, then this is it.
Interesting… I seem to have accidentally introduced an optical effect where the card looks like its floating off my hand…
Anyway, I took this pic while I was exploring Bangkok on my own after my wife went for a massage with her extended family; I didn’t go as massage is a waste of money on me because I don’t have aches and pains very often, and I don’t feel anything special after a massage. All I did was to explore Siam Square and the entire MBK. MBK is damn big…
Bought mooncakes
Made a trip to 大中国 to buy mooncakes for grandma, MIL and colleagues.
Was it worth it?
There may be a silver lining behind my taxi travails after all.
Once I neared my office, the heavens opened and it started pouring. Made me feel slightly better because I was thinking I was wasting my money because the rain started abating 5 minutes into my taxi ride.
But damn… the near $30 fare hurts…
The $1 shortcut
The taxi story continues… He asked me if I wanted to go by a shortcut along an expressway. I thought of asking if it would cost extra but I thought as a taxi driver he should be familiar with the roads. Furthermore, he wouldn’t earn anything from the ERP.
Stupid guy had to drive under a gantry and we were only on the expressway for a SHORT WHILE (10 seconds maybe?) before we exited. Damn you SHC xx E…

Raining and had to take a cab to work
Called for a cab but the CityCab driver took me for a ride. Said he wanted to avoid the traffic jam and said he had an alternate route. I thought he had some brilliant route that I didn’t know about but what he did was to go ONE BIG ROUND and end up rejoining that road with the traffic jam, albeit at a distance down.
Grrr…I hope his original intentions were good…
