#104 - CityFail: a rant by a thoroughly annoyed commuter + misc.

i am a very angry commuter.
my sis and i had an optometrist appointment at flemington and had to be there by 4.30, but thanks to cityfail, we got there much later.
"the 4.11 train has been cancelled for today...we are experiencing major delays on the South line due to a problem with our signalling system at sydenham.. we apologise for the delays and sincerely thank you for your patience." <- the worst thing a commuter could ever want to hear. and it was repeated a lot over 26 minutes! hjsdkjhetriuqwal!
then we waited around 25 minutes later at lidcombe for the all stop museum train -__- RAHHHHHHRRHH I HATE DELAYS
oh and i'm also annoyed at the concession fare. my sis's child fare was $2.70 and my concession fare was $4?!! like wtf!!! i swear the concession fare was the same as the child fare...right? i find the whole concession idea really pointless and ridiculous, i just don't see the point of cityrail stating that a child is anyone under the age of 16, when technically under the official law, a person b/t the ages of 16-18 is still considered to be a child?! and the student/apprentice/people who leave school under age of 18 thing doesn't work too well...they are CHILDREN, still. anyway; point is: cityrail= shittyrail = cityfail
then we arrived at the optometrist. luckily, my eyesight is still pretty much the same, i'm like a 0.5 and a +/-1.5 and apparently i have a little bit of astigmatism =[ =[ sigh my eyesight is bad. i struggled to read the second last and last row...couldn't read anything at all =[ but i am getting new frames, hellllll yeah goodbye forever ugly three-year-old-red-pink frames!! :D and my dad is the pro-est and most embarrassing bargainer ever zomg @.@ he bargained from $220 down to $150 :')
and some awesome news:
WITHIN TEMPTATION'S PICTURE WAS IN mX! *fangirl squeal* yep, no joke :D wish they posted nightwish's though, but nvm, wt is still awesome!
and much love to real deal, they made my day (y)

"VOICE APPEAL: y'all should listen to within temptation or nightwish. rock music with singers who actually sing" - real deal




"Dutch gothic ensemble Within Temptation offer rock music with a twist: they actually know how to sing" - uhhh rock? more like metal! sharon den adel ^O^




SYMPHONIC+GOTHIC METAL FTWWWWWW

and the ride back home was much much better, minor delays.
and in mX overheard:
guy: "my mum is a top bloke."
^ LOL
