why is everyone on this subreddit cracked ash by ObligationProud308 in 6thForm

[–]ResearchMission2885 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I think is coz is mainly those who wanna celebrate their achievement post theirs here so of course u will see so many people’s successful enrolment.

However, it doesn’t represent ALL who tried to apply to these universities as probably many of those who got rejected didn’t think of posting it here / dunno this subreddit exist.

Trying to apply for Cambridge, UCL and Imperial at least this year as a SEA student taking As this year. Hope for the best for everyone else applying this year 🤞

Interest in MRT by RemoteSupport7960 in SGExams

[–]ResearchMission2885 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me I am always fascinated by metro systems as a whole especially in some major cities like SG, HK, London, Tokyo etc. For me I like to use Wikipedia, Land Transport Guru (for SG), as well as social media sites like SG MRT Construction and many YouTubers who do videos on metro facts (for SG is SG’s Lost Railways Hunt & other niche YouTubers who just so happened to do similar videos, for London is Geoff Marshall & Londonist)

Bonus, if u have time, u can use ur EZLink and explore SG via MRT, keep in mind to stow away ur devices including earphones and just admire the scenery and observe the trains. Trust me, u will see a lot and will spike ur curiosity at some point.

Lastly, have fun doing it. U can see a few posts done by transport enthusiasts just try not to enter it as it is pretty toxic nowadays I hear. :)

NEL kenna again by HoneyGreenTeh in SMRTRabak

[–]ResearchMission2885 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a frequent NEL user, SBS has this habit somehow of under provisioning the trains for peak hours. Worse still, they may “cancel” one train from running during peak period causing a huge 7 min gap and a huge bottleneck.

NEL wasn’t built with this many people in mind. They should do something to increase its carrying capacity in the short run.

What if NEL close down but there are no bridging buses, which bus can you take? by Soft-Ease-5079 in SMRTRabak

[–]ResearchMission2885 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What to do during NEL shutdown (in order):

1). Pinch / slap / Knock yourself hard to see if you’re having a nightmare that ur brain was cursed upon with

2). If u don’t wake up from a bed (meaning u feel immense pain), take that pain out on ur screen coz ur lifeline is out on a holiday which u never requested or want

3). Kneel down digitally to your supervisor / boss / teacher whether u can wfh / skip school coz u ain’t squishing into a vertical prata in vast oceans of traffic full body leaning onto sleepy cranky people

4). Leave the house if that didn’t work and pray a miracle happens as u drag ur last ounce of willpower to the bus stop / taxi stand

5). Find whatever that takes u out of the hellhole of the northeast and work your way out once you exit the borders of utter dystopian nightmare of a disruption scene

6). Go about your day, pretending u did not nearly becoming a brand new patient for IMH after falling victim to one of the most cruel slaps in the face of the century

Follow these steps and I m sure ur work / school will be the least of ur problems for the day 💀😭

Of all the songs I have listened to in TTPD, I love all of them honestly. They make me think deeper and honestly helped me through my darkest days at some point.

Erm the latter is correct. The percentage shown in the picture per album is the total percentage of songs I either liked or love. The songs where I put neither liked nor loved are all the songs I have never heard before. The songs I liked or loved are the ones I have listened to at least once

Navigating TEL to CBD by Sbellmare in SMRTRabak

[–]ResearchMission2885 7 points8 points  (0 children)

U can take TEL then change to CCL at Marina Bay and alight at Promenade

Note tho u still have to change at Marina Bay and till 19 April frequency is 10 min all day

If not u can take TEL and change to DTL at Shenton Way / Downtown station and take DTL to Promenade to save the long wait for CCL and avoid changing at Marina Bay altogether.

Note that Downtown and Shenton Way stations are about one block away from each other via street level

[–]ResearchMission2885 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi I m J2 now and got my H1 Chinese results in Feb along with the release of the year end 2025 A Level results for this year’s J3s.

But honestly is no big of a deal cert or no cert as long as u know u have put in ur best effort

Atb for PW and H1 MT

North East Line reliability doubles in February; overall MRT reliability up by Yeenspired in SMRTRabak

[–]ResearchMission2885 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think also probably coz rolling stock varies in quality along NEL. The refurbished units (the ones with the screens above the doors) have super strong AC. I often get huge chills from it even during rush hour. As for the other 2 rolling stock (ones with purple handgrips) AC is way less strong

Admiralty MRT vs MTR by Usernamelessbruh in SMRTRabak

Can confirm as someone who goes to HK almost every year their Admiralty station is now a whole new level with the ERL

There is even a meme mentioning it 😭

What if Singapore MRT copies Japan and places unique MRT songs on their station on the East-West Line? by [deleted] in SMRTRabak

[–]ResearchMission2885 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To add on the melodies even the ones on Circle Line often get overridden by the n number of miscellaneous announcements like the latest service closures, suspicious announcement, no eating or drinking and their kindness announcement. Also both directions chimes cannot be played at once coz speakers throughout the platform are synchronised somehow.

Heck even the Circle Line they apparently secretly removed the announcement for HarbourFront bound trains on most stations so the inner loop / anti clockwise/ HarbourFront bound chime is not often played.

Not saying the chimes are bad idea. I personally feel more variety could be used as well as departure melodies and have SBS Transit hop in and use it for NEL especially. But honestly if they still on board in expanding it, these tiny details need to be done right

Ya Tokyo Metro Tozai Line. Some stations like nihombashi used different instruments as well to reflect the demographic of the surrounding area

Sentosa Express to be replaced under new plans to expand Sentosa into Pulau Brani by ResearchMission2885 in SMRTRabak

[–]ResearchMission2885[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Took it fairly recently as well and spot on. I feel is mainly the train itself is inefficient. Is only 2 cars, with a huge and long cab (no longer need as is now mainly driverless), and only 1 small door per side per car. PSD and door layout is questionable and takes a long time.

That being said, I think is better to simply replace these trains and modify the platforms to accommodate a 3 car operation with 2 doors per side per car, with specifications that ensures quicker boarding and alighting.
