my brother got the car for the day today (special day mah...ehem), so my parents were left car-less. nevermind, car-less doesnt mean helpless rite. so mum managed to convince dad to go check out the new geylang market by public transport.
they took the train to bedok, then bus to geylang. very simple.
my dad the bus novice though, had no idea how to use the humble ezlink card. so he went up the bus, and tapped the card onto the card reader. with both hands holding the card. and he tapped and he tapped. but the thing kept blinking red and churning out angry beeping sounds.
turned out he's been tapping the card onto the display panel on top instead of the part below! hahha damm funny i tell you. especially when you hear the story from them at the dinner table!
i LOVE my parents. they can be super know-it-all, naggy, protective and all (as any parents would i suppose), but they're MY parents and i LOVE them.
