I recently shifted office and it brought me much irritation, anger, frustration and sadness. Simply because the new location is located along Pasir Panjang Road. I stay in Tampines. That's from one end to the other end.
Anyhow, taking public transport to work turned out to be a 1h 15mins to 1h45mins journey, depending on whether there's a jam. It was extremely inefficient and cumbersome with changes from bus to train to another train and then another bus.
I've decided to try out a public bus transport service. Thank god to my colleague who managed to convince the bus driver to take me in as an additional customer. I'm paying a substantial amount for a 1-way trip I think. $90 a month. But for the convenience, I think it's worth a try. Let's hope it pans out well.
The other drawback of the far far away office location is that I need to wake up very early. I wake at 6am now, before the sun rises. Gosh. The last time this happened on a regular basis was way back when I was still in secondary school. I am absolutely not a morning person. K & my parents can attest to that. But I guess I have not much of a choice.....
Food establishments in that area is also limited, unless you can be bothered to take a bus out to places like Alexandra Village, IKEA, Vivocity, Seah Imm Food Centre or ABC market. My colleagues & I are hoping to explore the area for more food places haa...But one good thing is that at least they have an Harry's outlet just below my office tower... :)
More updates to come about the new office...(or maybe more complaints...;p)
