a trivial thing that makes my day

Normally, it takes me roughly an hour of journey time and $1.92 of transport cost between my current workplace at Novena and home. That amounts to $3.84 of expediture on transport alone, everyday.

Yesterday, I discovered another alternative route, via SBS transit service number 5, which runs from Novena to the bus stop opposite Tampines SAFRA, from which I can transfer to several other buses. Even though the entire journey is about 5 to 10 minutes longer, a single journey costs $1.81 which means I get to save 22 cents everyday.

Somehow, this fact is very comforting to me, in light of the blues after a long CNY weekend as well as my expense woes in January.

eeh brother, why the blues over the weekend? jangan sedih sedih la. Later we meet at airport =D anyway, yes, I think singapore public transport is getting more efficient (except the 2 power breakdowns so far in the mrt line this year =p) Cheers to it!
