If you are a Singaporean, you would have probably heard about the ever famous Singapore Zoo icon, Ah Meng. I remember growing up hearing about Ah Meng and had even visited her at the Zoo many times. The ever famous primate that I know of other than Bubbles (The chimp that lived with Michael Jackson for many years.)

Today however, is a sad day for Singapore. Our dear Ah Meng had just passed away. She died at the age of 48 human years. She died out of old age and Singapore’s Zoological Gardens will be holding a memorial service for her this coming Sunday at 11am.

Who would have guessed that SMRT’s 188 service would break down when I took the bus back home earlier this evening after school? Well, it happened. :D Somehow I was kinda excited about it. The last time I was in a service that broke down was like more than 5 years ago. It is such a very rare incident!

Felt vey privilege then. Lol! Well actually, all that I could hear was, “Hen Suay lei!”. Pronounced something like this, “Hn Su-way Lay!”. Simply means “Damn Unlucky ‘man’!”. Well anyway, the Bus Captain compensated all of us with a complimentary ride. :D

Complimentary Ticket

The best part is it lasts till 5th of March 2008. Of course there are some limitations to the ticket. Can only be used on SMRT buses and not Express services. :D I am just happy I got this little ticket. I am using season pass so it doesn’t really affect me. It’s either I keep the ticket for a rainy day or give it away to someone who needs it more than I do.

Can’t believe that a service breakdown made my day. Lol! :D

I honestly believed General Biology was gonna be an easy module for me. Now I feel otherwise. Yeah I’ve not had much Biological background before. The things taught in class is definitely interesting but its a little to fast for me since I wasn’t exposed to it before. At least 10 new bio vocab for me to learn every lecture.

Looks like I got to spend more time on this module than the others for me to score well in it… Headaches…
