Photographer The
meeting place was City Hall MRT Station at 2000 hours. We proceed to Marina
Square Where we bought burgers and sat
outside in the open air eating while listening to
music. After
the meal we walked down the road discussing our next destination.
It's gonna be Changi Airport but none knew the bus to take when
suddenly Vincent brought up the cemetery and instantly we agreed but he
got scared. He managed to persuade us to postpone it because we’re Nation
X
and if one doesn’t want to go then the rest follow suit. (Not
all the time, members could veto against the committee) Not
knowing where to go, we came upon the idea of just taking a bus
unfamiliar to us and let fate and the bus driver decide our destination
and that’s how "The Bus" became the Name for our first Nation
X
Expedition. We got to the other side of the road and somehow we
found a bus that goes to the airport which is Bus No. 36 but we were at
the wrong bus stop for the bus came from the airport. So we walk down to
Suntec City to catch the right bus. We
had a long wait and it's approaching 2400, we took a
picture and call-up Michelle with each of us greeting her a
‘Happy Chinese New Year’. The bus came and initially we had to stand
for we can’t sit since the seats have people sitting on it so we stood
and Vincent was the guy who got the first seat followed by the rest. The viewing mall wasn’t that good so we went back to
Terminal 1 by taking the walk down the abandoned offices and the quiet
cold paths where the only humans are the four of us . And
we
arrived at the viewing
mall. We sat down on the floor listening to music and play Truth
Blackjack – cards provided by Lee and soon got to know each other's
secrets. Vincent wanted to sleep and we were SHOCKED and so he
didn’t but Lee was the first one who went to Dream Dimension. At
about 0315 we decided to leave the place and walk out to Changi Beach
and so we did and took some pics on the road (when I say “on” its
really ON) then we walk and walk and we turn back. Yeah we did that
since we don’t really know how long we had to walk and none knew the exact
way to the beach and so we came back to Terminal 2. Lee
went back to sleep while Shahrul and me just rest on the floor but
Vincent just don’t want to sit and so he walk round and round the
place and even after much persuading he doesn’t want to sit.
After having hot drinks in the cold, we went back (AGAIN) to the viewing mall to look at the sunrise. It was both mine and Shahrul first concentrated look at the sunrise and it was BEAUTIFUL and Lee, a veteran Sunrise watcher said that it was the best he ever saw. I was of course mesmerized by the beauty of the sunrise for all this while, i never really take a good look and appreciate the beauty of it at the break of dawn. We then took two shots of the sun but the first and the nicest one did not turn out well but the second shot was pretty nice so its okay. Okay, we were tired and had enough fun and so we left there by taking a bus to Tampines.
THE END Yours

The
Bus – A 
We
got to the airport at Terminal 1 before 0100 and went straight for
Burger King buying drinks and me a burger and after that we went to the toilet and
took pictures and proceed on to the viewing mall then we decide to check out the other one at Terminal 2 and so we took a
skytrain.
Shahrul
and I then decide to play along and so we act as if we’re spies spying
on Vincent and both of us were running around the place trying to avoid
Vincent from spotting us. We got tired and went back but not Vincent.
Vincent was away for quite some time and Shahrul got worried and went to
look for him and found him drinking coffee. So we woke
Lee up and join Vincent.
After
our last picture of the day we went home tired yet
happy for thi is something to remember
