Happiest news

Lately I have taken back to reading the newspapers. A habit that I have kicked since I passed GP. However the SS module which I am taking now, Politics in South East Asia, requires me to read newspapers on a daily basis and create a scrapbook. On top of that I have to take news from at least 6 different sources, so I guess I will frequent newspaper stands and online journals and magazines. Ok, this is just the prelude. Anyway I woke up again to see my dad playing on the LCD tv, which FYI can serve as a computer. He had come to regard it as his personal computer since a year plus ago. So our living room is no longer a living room and I can only watch tv at night or in the middle of the night when he has gone to sleep or when he has gone to work. Skipping the frustrated and maddening part, these 2 factors (which I mentioned above) propelled me to read The Straits Times which my household subscribed. But what made it a happy affair today is the moment I flip over the papers at 2.20pm today, I saw the headline about bus reforms! I cant tell you how happy and delighted and absolutely thrilled at the news. The bus service in Singapore has really degraded by leaps and bounds and really sucky. After the SBS monopolised and the trans**** eaten up by the stupid company, they regarded themselves the king of Singapore's transport and treated the road as theirs. Waiting times were ridiculous and services were BAD BAD BAD! Now a thrid company is coming in, LOL! Yeah baby! I still remember the last time I waited for a 960, wait for 40mins until I wanna cry out in anger! And I cursed and cursed the bus company, hoping a 3rd bus company would set up store against them and now it has come true. WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
