First Timer...

Damn.... 3 days of Leave and Off went by in the blink of an eye.... haiz.... anyway, today i managed to go to 2 places for the FIRST TIME ever in the 26 yrs of my life!! Talk about making fool... i mean full use of my time eh....


First Time no. 1: Tanjong Pagar Train Station
No you dodos... it's not that i've never taken the West side of the MRT before!! I'm talking about the Railway Station!! Yes... for those of you that do not know, there IS a Snail Rail in S'pore... right at Tanjong Pagar next to Keppel Road! After sending my parents and Sharon to work, i decided to go check it out....


"Isn't Tanjong Pagar an underground station?"

Looks really old from the outside doesn't it?? Well it is coz it's many many many years old (which means i dunno how old la...). From the inside it also looks like an old Subway... which i'm sure you've seen countless times on movies.... the most notable for me is the scene with Cyclops and Storm battling it out in X-Men, and more recently, Spidey going against Doc Ock at the bank... don't you think the settings look eerily similar?? Hmmm...


"Where's X-Men and Spidey?"

Anyhows, the main reason for me coming over was coz of Vernon (Rey's bro), who was telling us about some power Nasi Lemak in this very station a few weeks ago during soccer. Sure enough, i found the Nasi place and i must say, for 2 bugs, it's a great deal... tasty Nasi with Ikan Bilis, egg and Chicken Wing, and tons of chilli to go with it!! Yumz....

First Time no. 2: Subordinate Courts
Yes. Today, for the first time, i made a trip to the Subordinate Courts. Why?? Well i can't go much into details as i'm sworn to secrecy, but all i can say is that someone i know was caught driving without a license, and as a result had to appear in court for her... SENTENCING!!

Making my way there was easy... however, as i was about step in.. i got the feeling that i've seen this exact scene, somewhere, somehow....


"This dude's taking a piss with the Law..."

Obviously... with another look, i realised its what i always see on telly especially during the news when they talk about so-and-so going for trials and stuff... also, i realise that numerous Chinese Drama Serials also have film sequences outside here! Talk about overused....

Oh yea... this being my first time at the Subordinate Courts, i didn't really know what to wear. As such, I decided to go in a more formal attire than what you normally see me wearing on mornings...


"MY definition of formal."

Yup. I wore 3/4 pants, and a Man Utd jersey! And yes... they let me in... although i was the only one dressed like that. Talk about cool eh? :P


PS. The person was fined $1.4k, and banned from driving for 18 months. Let this be a lesson to all you driver wannabes yea? And wait.... how to u ban someone from driving if he/she doesn't even HAVE a license?!?!?
