Sunset Industry

Do you think the Chinese papers is a sunset industry?

I think the Chinese papers in Singapore is not going to survive through the next 20 years. Now, there is XinMin Daily News, Lian He Wan Bao and Lian He Zao Bao. In future, we will most probably be left with Lian He Zao Bao and it will also most probably come together with Straits Times as a complimentary chinese papers. Hahaha.

Given the deteriorating chinese standard of Singaporeans, the younger generations will definitely not buy Chinese papers in future. Now, the main readership for the Chinese papers come from our parents and grandparents' generation. When all our grandparents pass away, we will be just leave with half of our parents' generation. This is because some of our parents are actually english educated.

Pathetic!!!

Just a sudden thought about the Chinese papers. Hahhaa.

Anyway, this is me before work.



Yesh! We are required to wear a tie for work.

Well, I got to admit that i wear this tie to work everyday. Haahhaa. Seriously, no one cares. They are just more concerned about how many temps you can fill everyday. Hahaha.

Once again, you can approach me if you are going for a job!!

Bye!

A New Start

OMG!!! People, I am back!!!

After much anticipation, my blog is back. Haha. My last entry was actually more than a year ago. I don't know why i want to start blogging again but i just feel like writing.

Of course, I got to begin my blog post with a blast.

So friends, my article is published in MyPaper! Woo~~!!!

Actually, the article wasn writen like this. I thought it was edited quite badly. After the editing, i find the article really bad. Nevertheless, I am still glad that my article is able to be published.

Anyway, the article was orginally written like this:

希望远程巴士服务不会被取消

交通部第二部长陈惠华女士在不久前表示本地目前的43个超过25公里的远程巴士服务很有可能会被取消。陈惠华女士表示本地政府正在从以往提供的远程巴士服务逐渐改换成一个“Hub-and-Spoke”的系统。所谓的“Hub-and-Spoke”系统就是随着更多地铁环线的通车，乘客可以乘搭短程巴士到最靠近他们的地铁站，并且乘坐地铁到他们的目的地。此外，陈惠华女士也表示减少远程巴士服务也意味着更可靠的巴士服务。这是因为远程巴士服务因为路程太长，所以无法估计路上的突发状况，因而有着很多的延误。

在听到了这个消息后，我想许多公众应该也和我一样，不希望看到远程巴士服务的中止。我认为拥有更多的地铁环线固然很好，但是远程巴士服务还是不应该被取消。虽然乘搭远程巴士会花费我们更多的时间，但是我们至少可以省下转车的麻烦。而且，乘搭远程巴士时，我们往往在整个车程里都可以舒服且安逸地坐在座位上。这比起在人挤人的地铁里站立好几十分钟来得轻松多了。而且，现在的地铁在繁忙时段时的拥挤程度真的不仅一般。减少或中止远程巴士服务只会迫使更多的人乘搭地铁，把地铁变得更加的拥挤。最后，乘坐远程巴士的车资比起乘坐地铁的车资（抱括转车）来的便宜不少，所以我想这也抵消了远程巴士的较长车程吧。

我相信新加坡政府不断的改善我们的交通系统，目的就是希望国人可以选择以公共交通工具代步，因而减少路上的车辆。这是因为新加坡是个蕞尔小国，我们窄小的公路无法承受太多的车辆。但是，在提供一个快捷且舒适的服务时，我想一个优质的交通系统也应该包括更多元化的服务吧。现在，住在裕廊的我每天都得到大巴窑上班。上班时，我因为不想起得太早，所以会选择比较快捷的地铁服务。但是，下班时，我因为工作了一整天，所以我会选择乘搭远程巴士。所以，我认为远程巴士服务的存在可以让我在考虑了一些外在因素后（如：时间的紧迫，路程的舒适）才选择我会乘坐地铁或巴士。

总而言之，我认为远程巴士服务的提供除了可以让更多的乘客在除了乘搭地铁以外有着另一个选择，也能让本地的交通系统更加得多元化。真的很希望远程巴士服务不会被取消。

Okay, this was actually what i wrote.
