earlier today on my way home from Truong (don't all my Saturday posts seem to somehow relate back to Truong ><"), i had a day of both smiles and frowns =/
good news first...the automatic ticket machine thing sold me a ticket for negative dollars... so i put a ten dollar note into the machine to pay for a $1.60 ticket...then as i collected my ticket it showered coins in the change/ticket collection hole thing and the coins totalled up to $16.90 hehehe... free money (Y) and since i'm asian i kept it =D
then ofc when i got to Granville to change trains...i frowned, there was track work on some random lines and since cityrail is quite the cityfail, they hadn't erected the yellow signs about track-work at granville and so everyone kinda just mingled at the platform listening to some curry guy on the PA system saying "the train at platform x is terminating, please do not board" without really telling anyone what was happening..it was not until i went up that i finally saw officially that there was trackwork..and so had to catch some stupid broken crap bus. This bus was like a coach-style one, and so had like air-con above the seats which could be adjustable..only that the plastic cover over it was completely ripped off almost every vent leaving just a hole...initially it was fine, but like 2 minutes into the ride, the driver decided to turn on the A/C to full and hence i sat there being blasted by extremely cold air on an already extremely cold morning...
by the time i got to parra, i missed my bus already and had to wait like 20 minutes for the bus (the one i have to walk like 2k) yhh, sad face =(
