Open Tip bus

Recently the radio station 97.2 had organised 3 of open tip buses trips around Singapore. The 1st was on 14 Sep 08 which conincides with the moon cake festival.


On board was Mediacorp celebrity 715 - Qi Yu Wu. We were the lucky batch with him on the road with us.






The trip covered the Northern part of the island basically Toa Payoh, Bishan, Ang Mo Kio, Yishun and ended at Woodlands. There were 2 groups of passengers. First group set off from Mediacorp and stopped at AMK. Then the second group will hop on and head Yishun and Woodlands.




On the way, mooncake, some snacks and drinks were served. There were games and quiz during the journey.

We had an enjoyabe time.


The 2nd trip took off on 5th Oct 08.

This time is the East of Spore. Generally were Marine Parade, Bedok, Simei and Tampines.

The last one was just couple days ago, on the 19th Oct 08.

It was initially planned to move around the city - Orchard and then to head Clementi as the end point.
But too bad, a last minute change of route.

So the route this time was West area covering Holland, Clementi, Jurong.

It was pouring during the afternoon even when we set off. So during the early part of the journey, we can only take the seats on the lower part of the bus. But when the rain stops, the group went above the open top.


The cooling wind after the rain was great. I was 'slapped' by the leaves a few times while standing on board.






When the bus passed by some places which I travelled almost everyday. Each other day, I did not stopped to look at them. This day I managed to get a better glimpse of the surrounding.

Does this mean we are too busy to notice or just cant be bothered?











After about over an hour of journey, the bus stopped at Jurong East MRT.
We took a group photo onboard the open tip for remembrance.











It had been a fantastic and wonderful trip.
