1) Bus conductors suddenly decided not to slack anymore, and really went out to do their jobs after months of sitting around rotting.
2) Im just unlucky.
3) Its a sign that i should save up money (buh) and go get my Ez-Link instead of using my brother's.
After 2 (or 3) months of being EzLink-less and making up for it by using my brother's, i finally got caught. Not once, not twice, but thrice. Sigh. Woe is me. Woe is me. Poor other half had to fork out the last of his money to pay for my bus fares (ADULT rate some more).
