still in office
but my working mood doesn’t work
usually after 6:30pm
it’s a pretty spontaneous thing
well got a text from the
manager of the bus terminal
okay the story is
i saw a bus concession top up machine
at the bus terminal
and since i travel everyday
i might as well get one
so that i don’t have to prepare
so much changes for bus fare
and the deal is pretty good
i can save up to 50% on travelling
since it allows usage
okay how do i get it?
i was too “shy” to ask the guy at the station
so i went look up for information
on the website of the bus company
and i found a downloadable form
basically i have to fill up and
submit it with a photo
it’s to prevent abuse i guess
since it’s unlimited usage and
it’s not opened to non-citizens
so i went with the form
to the counter of the bus terminal
all filled up
and the guy is actually a middle-aged
with tattoo and all
well you tend to have stereotype
well i mean me
wow.. that kind of guy
which you don’t wanna mess with
i passed him the form
but he said well
they do not receive application here at the terminal
i have to go to the bus depot
bus depot is the
car park where all the buses go to
for maintenance, gas and all
i was like
what a joke
you expect people to go to the depot
to apply for a bus concession
who on earth goes there
except the bus drivers
and why not at the bus terminal
where all the users will
definitely drop by on and off
but he was kind enough
to offer to help me
since he reports to the depot i guess
to submit the application
so i gave him the form
and the application fees
i already have the worst scenario in mind
my crumpled form ended up crying in the trash bin
and no.. my photo
and the money will be going somewhere else
or the form was left on the table for long
and later on..
still end up in the trash bin
well maybe i should have a little faith in people ya
and my faith was restored by 30%?
when he even handed me a name card
with his phone number and all
okay he is the terminal manager
30% more, restored
and today is Tuesday right
and he actually took the trouble to text me
telling me that
my concession is ready
wow..
that’s efficient
but i am only be able to collect it on
next Monday though
anyway
this is really a pleasant news
and
well i am thinking
probably we have been getting used to bad service
that any favour done
is greatly appreciated
and if you are getting used to
excellent tiptoe service
any minor error turn out to be
bad bad bad
i don’t know
well
i hope the concession
doesn’t encourage me to
travel to the shopping mall more often
since i will be travelling at practically
no extra cost at all
okay almost time to go
since boss has already done so
wee
thank you boss for not
staying late
