Grrrr..

Before I start blogging of happy stuff, I want to whine and bitch for a while. Partly because I like to experience the bitter news before savoring something sweet and pleasant. So here the shit goes.

As of 3 July 2010, there has been a new travelling system implemented here in Singapore - a pay per distance payment scheme. Well, maybe it does seem a little decent and perhaps reasonable, however here's the catch - what ever happened to the original basic fee of 69₵. Now the basic current fees for any bus service stands at 71₵!!!! So even if you were to be lazy and decide to take a bus from Far East Plaza to say Tangs, would seriously cost you 71₵! That's like only a stop away!!!! Seriously an increment of 2₵!! Ok. FOL (fuck our life) this time. Apparently the Singapore government thinks they are robbing enough money from the citizens, so they have decided to rob us of 2₵ more. Well, you may argue that 2₵ isn't much. Well, let me break it down for you. 2₵ is an increased of 2.8% of the original fee. Ok still not enough to convince you? Imagine this. 50 of such 2₵ would give you a dollar! An eff-ing dollar! Perhaps I'm exaggerating, but still it's money. After all we're all brought up in a world that embraces the passion of capitalism. So why not annoy the government and get back our 2₵!!

Marilyn's here. So I'll stop for now.
