Pay by Distance public transport fares..

Posted on by

The Pay by Distance fares was recently implemented on the 3rd of July..

According to the Land Transport Authority (LTA);

A majority of commuters will benefit from Distance Fares, with 2 in 3 seeing a reduction or no change in their weekly public transport expenditure.

So.. What say you?

Unfortunately, to my misfortune, I have to say I’m probably the 1 in 3 that is not benefiting from this new scheme! Boooooooo!

For instance, (if you follow me on twitter @iamannaker) I’ve tweeted before that my usual transport fees of $1 have increased to $1.40 now, when travelling from Malaysia customs to Kranji.

Other than that, I’ve been looking into my transport fares whenever I travel, and I’m really paying more for majority of the times I’m travelling! Its not that I remember how much it costed last time, but on the back of my mind, I can roughly gauge the figures.

Meaning more allowance used for transport. THIS REALLY SUCKS.

Along side, I hear about complains with regards to this new transport scheme from friends around, and actually none of them actually mentioned they benefitted. Does that mean my friends and I are all that unlucky to be the 1/3 of the population who uses public transport?

Actually, if you think logically.. In my opinion, if SMRT don’t earn more money using this pay by distance scheme, why did they bother changing the scheme?

Learnt how to train my dragon! – A movie review

Posted on by

I loved each and every of the 90 minutes spent inside the theatres catching ‘How to Train Your Dragon’!

Everyone I knew who caught the movie told me its a very nice movie, and its worth the moolahs! Finally, i get to judge it in my opinion, and i’m lovin’ it as much as my friends love it! :D So before its removed from the screens, go catch it, people! :) I’m not sure for the theatres in Singapore, but for JB cinemas, they have around 3 slots per day for this movie only for the next few days! Be sure to catch it before its gone!

I like the plot, like the creatures and characters inside, like the ‘moral of the story’. I wish I was living in Berk. (It was the town that the story was based on, righttt?)

Everybody loved TOOTHLESS. before i caught the movie, i really didn’t bother to google about how toothless looked like. i was too lazy actually, not that i wanted a surprise HAHA. so during the scenes, where toothless first appeared, i didn’t even know it was toothless until the main lead called him toothless! and its just cute, especially without teeths! it looked totally vulnerable…how could anyone bear to kill it!

so..this is how toothless looked like!

TOOTHLESS!

(I realised this is Carmen’s laptop’s wallpaper now! She’s mad in love with Toothlesss!)

I don’t think toothless will look as cute as the toothless everybody is obsessed with, unless you catch the movie. I was just thinking otherwise, if i didnt catch the movie, toothless will just look like a dark coloured weird animal! :P

I always liked to think that every movie had their ‘moral of the story’, the story that the producer wants to bring across. Perhaps I’m thinking too much, but nonetheless, I liked the moral that I learnt from the movie.

– The dragons attack the Berk vikings just for self-defense, so if they are able to show them that they are harmless and will not attack the dragons, they are gonna be harmless too.

I feel that this is the same as in reality. Probably everyone is on guards against everybody because we feel that they are dangerous. Not literally la. Perhaps..

:D

in conclusion, i enjoyed the movieee very much! (:

Mommy had soooo many burning questions as to how such animations are created. Like, do they draw them, or do they create them, and how they make out the whole movie. Actually, I’m not well-informed about such stuffs too. So, I really admire the production team. Kudos!

TRAIN YOUR DRAGON!

Actually I feel it would be purrrrrrrfect if I could catch the movie in 3D. What a pity there aren’t any 3D theatres in JB. It would be more engaging and a total adventure if I could get to see the dragons fly 3D.!! HAHAHA! :D

AND AND AND. how great it would be, if I get to have toothless as my pet? It can FLY ME TO SCHOOOL everyday ok. NO need stay in Singapore, no need get stuck in jams, no need buses no need MRTs.

oh mann i wonder what am i thinking. hahaha.
