Morning Commute

Don't you hate it when your routine get disrupted because of incidences. That's what happened this morning to me, when I'd kept to my schedule (which usually give me about 20 minutes to spare before I reach the ferry terminal), only to relies that my connecting train is delayed due to a signal failure at one station, affecting the entire line. The delay is expected to be 30 mins, but knowing how it worked before, I know I wouldn't be able to pull it, even if I were to fly from the destination station to the ferry terminal.

So I had to exit the station, tried in vain to call a cab for 10 minutes, and finally decided to take a 10 minute bus ride near the cit (where I know people who exit at, ie available cab) to zip down straight to the ferry terminal. Hopefully I will not miss my ferry or I'd be uber miff at spending the extra for the added frustrations.

Some immediate thoughts:

- seriously, the frequency of the breakdown and delay doesn't indicate coincidence. It's a systematic fault, why can't anyone see that or do anything about it?

- there just isn't enough cabs around. I know I hate this, but seriously, just open the cabby services to foreign investors and drivers already 

- the new highway is ridiculous. Even though I live so close to 5 major expressways, I couldn't get on 2 of them just because of the intelligent design they put in. The detour just infurariate me everytime I take a cab.
