My Trip to Jurong Island

This day finally arrived.

The weather for today was quite unpleasant. Some areas were flooded. In order to arrive my destination on time, I decided to leave the office earlier than initially planned.

The cab arrived even earlier than the stated time and very soon, we were on our way to Jurong Island.

From my workplace to Jurong Island, it was a journey from the east to the west. I planned about an hour for the travelling. To add in the time to change pass at the checkpoint, maybe one and a hour hour before the presentation would be sufficient.

The journey was quite smooth despite the annoying light rain.

I was worried if I would be arriving too early.

At the checkpoint to Jurong Island, there was a long queue to exchange my ic for a visitor pass. I was glad to have taken this waiting into consideration.

As the company has already applied clearance for me, I obtained my visitor pass smoothly. From the checkpoint to my destination was quite a distance.

Along my way, I saw only trucks, private cars and a few taxis. I saw a few public bus stops but I did not see any public buses running.

The cabby driver was an excellent driver and he knew the way to my destination.

When I reached the main gate of the company X, I was asked to use my visitor pass to exchange another vistor pass. Representative from X came shortly to bring me into the office.

My presentation was done in a short while. In fact, I think I spoke too fast and perhaps did not elaborate further or allow audience to have time to think what I have said.

I wish I will have another chance to do this presentation again.

This is just like sitting for an exam. After the exam, all the reasons or excuses came and wished we have a second chance.

Well, this is life and how many people have a chance to re-do something.

I don't know when I will make a trip to Jurong Island again.

I was glad to ask for the cabby's contact number because after my presentation, I did not find any taxi at the main road at all.

It seems public transport is still not well-developed on this island.
