♥ hot title:Pats Schoolhouse 1988 Leyland Olympian 2 axle
After entering the hobby as a enthusiast of buses in Jun 2011 , i have started to photograph buses since then and i was really lucky enough to came across a former Singapore Bus Services ( now SBS Transit ) 1988 10.4m Non Aircon Leyland Olympian 2 axle double deck bus fitted with a Walter Alexander R type bodywork supplied by Walter Alexander Coachbuilders of Scotland with the assembly by SBS themselves . The Leyland Olympian 2 axle was registered as SBS7196Z during the days the bus was under SBS but after more than a decade of loyal service with SBS ,Pats Schoolhouse purchased the bus from SBS and modified the interior into a mobile gymbus and registration was changed to YL8508R for continue operation as sport welfare purpose for kindergartens & lower primary children . The bus was deregistered in late 2008 after reaching the end of the 20 years lifespan and had since been parked at Pats Schoolhouse centre located at Jubilee road as a non movable vehicle and hence the usuage of the facilities inside the bus was restricted only to the children studying at that centre . My hearfelt thank to the principal of Pats Schoolhouse Jubilee road centre Miss Natalie Lim for allowing me to photograph both the interior and exterior of the bus for memory and sharing purpose

♥ hot title:study & personnal
After 3 months & holidays break , my course had finally started on 13 April 2011 with 2 modules to study which are engineering graphics & maths . it a much more relax compare to secondary school which has abt 6 modules but alas the lesson duration are more longer but it make me benefit lot except for the tiring morning rush for bus service 168 as the frequency are not really good & worse when a single deck bus was send to fetch a long u-shape queue instead of a double decker , honestly i m looking forward to the new regional campus as it will shorten my traveling distance & instead of taking a bus , i can take mrt or get a ride to sch via by dad car . while this few weeks , i was rather quiet with few words to say as i keep thinking abt her non stop even when i try to relax down .. ending off

since my confession to her, i felt that i had change lot , i have been more serious & careful on what i do . As i m only 17 years , u readers will say that i m too young & in-mature on relationship & indeed i m as i can't do much but just that i can't stopped myself on thinking about her . now , before she finished her main exam & accepting me afterwards in Nov , i should just keep quiet & be more understanding & wait but not pressurize her with messages just to chat with her ....
