Shortcut

I participated in an East Zone Science Carnival yesterday at Victoria Junior College, along with Jarrett, Cong Yang, Gary and Hua Ying. It was a one-way trip from school. We had lots of fun with the activities, especially the 15 minutes "star-gazing" in an inflated astronomy laboratory model. Hua Ying commented that it was awesome. (:

We could leave as soon as we completed the activities of the day.
We finished them at about 4.30pm.
It was a one-way trip from school, so we had to return home ourselves.
Since the nearest MRT station was Bedok, it was pretty far away from my home in Woodlands.
In a few stops, we reached Kembangan.
This made me recall the trip home last year during the Ramadhan sabbatical course.

Along with Jarrett and Wei Heng, we went to the Street Bazaar at night as part of our sabbatical programme.
It was a one-way trip from school, so we had to return home ourselves.
Since the nearest MRT station was Kembangan, it was pretty far away from my home in Woodlands.
I had to take all the way to City Hall and transfer to the North-South line, or take all the way to Jurong East and transfer there. The whole trip took at least one and a half hour.

The whole trip took me only forty-five minutes yesterday.
I stopped at Paya Lebar and transferred to the Circle Line, reaching at Bishan and taking the North-South trip back home.

This is how great the Circle Line affects our lives.
By giving us an alternate and quicker route to our destination.
And so I told Jarrett on the way back, "Isn't urbanisation great?"
