MRT mayhem

The big news locally has been the MRT. Normally the system works like clockwork with trains leaving every few minutes. However, sporadic failures across the network over the last few days led to a huge public outcry and an investigation into the issue, resulting in the system being shut down overnight for inspection.

Unfortunately this impacted our plans today and we had to head to church via bus. Which is normally pretty easy, but we managed to get lost. To compound our woes, my prepaid mobile ran out of credit just as I was trying to plot a new route to our destination. While we did manage to flag down a rare passing cab, it turned out that he too was clueless. We did get there eventually, but fortunately the service had started late due to the MRT shutdown so we were able to catch the sermon in the end!
