Updated finance page.
I accompanied my eldest son for the NS medical screening. When we arrived at 815am, a few staff and fellow attendees were around. It took around ten minutes to do the registration as parents’ particulars and medical history needed confirmation. A preemptive notification was given as the subsequent series of checks required around four hours. I had arranged to handle some errands nearby and decided to walk. On Google map, it showed 1.6km which was well within reach. Fifteen minutes later, the slopy and uneven path led to an overhead bridge to get across AYE! It was an unusual experience to have busy expressway traffic underneath. The sun was bright as my sweaty feet quickly shuffled to the destination. This was not the short walk I envisioned and made uncomfortable by the wrong shoes. After completing my tasks, bus was the preferred mode of transport.
On the eve of PSLE, it was announced that the MRT line had broken down over several stations. The crowd situation nightmare began in the evening. What a bad timing. As I overheard on a radio discussion about the impact and public reactions, it was sobering to remind ourselves that Singapore enjoys one of the best global transport systems. Plaudits have to be given for an ever better connected network and beautiful environment. The cycle paths and walkways are well designed although I think cyclists should not be allowed on roads for their safety. When it comes to a breakdown, just stay calm and find an alternative way. There's no need to rant and berate the ground staff. The youngest son was unaffected as he went about his preparations. In another two days, he can be released from tuition classes, strict diet and game time restrictions. I'm very anxious on whether he can make it to the school of his choice.
