Anticipation ....

Returned from Hong Kong last night, with another 9 bottles of Hoegarden beer added to the supply at Wheng's place for the weekly (whenever possible) soccer screening. Last heard is that Leslie would be joining us, as it is better than watching it alone at home. I guess it is a male thing. =P

Spent most of today sleeping, resting for the next adventure ahead. And as i am arranging the photos, i was searching for bus time tables for that isolated island. Luckily, with Dawn's photo-memory, she informed me that the bus on the island is 715, and with that and google, i found the bus company that gives that service.

Thus, i found out the going to work will be a long ride using public transport, just like back in Navy days where i have to wake early in the mornings to go Tuas Naval Base. I guess some things never change. =P

For Wed, it will take abt 20 mins from my place to Pasir Ris MRT, and 52 mins to Jurong East MRT and another 22 mins to Jurong Island Check point by bus 98. I cant find much information on bus 715 on the internet, guess it is a lousy bus company to NOT have a website at all. tsk tsk. So which means that i will spend approx. 94 mins to get ot the checkpoint and to the pass office to make my jurong island pass in Wed. After which is another short bus ride to Shell Chemicals in Seraya. So to make it to the pass office at 0815, it will mean that i have to leave home by 0645, to give 10 mins buffer = leave at 0635, thus wake at 0620. *sob* Lets hope the shuttle bus by Shell is available somewhere in the east, at least i can nap more on the bus. =P

Oh well, feeling rather anxious of the approaching 1st day of work, of which the HR there did say that i WILL be late on the first day (she expects it as the pass office only opens at 0830), and i hope my future colleagues will be fun people to work with. heh. =P
