Yesterday, walking to my bus stop at 5:30am I noticed they changed the bus timetable. I was lucky enough to have not missed my bus since I normally walk out 5 minutes early in fear of missing my bus. I dipped my travelpass as usual, telling me I've used it for the first time today.

However, once I got off the bus, walked to the other side of wynyard and caught another bus to school, I dipped my travelpass in again but it beeped like crazy and printed on the back of my ticket
"faulty ticket, show driver ....."
I thought nothing of it until after school catching the bus back to wynard, it beeped like crazy again telling me it was a faulty ticket! I showed the bus driver my ticket and he said its ok but next time I board a bus or a train, it might not work so I'd have to continually show the drivers my ticket to get on another bus. At this point I was very angry and fustrated having used my ticket for the first time and having to deal with this minor problem for a week until my ticket expires.

I researched on my phone how to deal with this problem and sydneybuses told me that I'd have to post my faulty ticket to some address and if their tests show there is something wrong, I would get a complimentary ticket from them. I was already annoyed by this problem and sydneybuses' solution didn't help either because:
1. I'd have to purchase another ticket ($23) to use for that week
2. I'd have to fill out a form, and maybe even pay for postage (not 100% sure on this)
3. They MIGHT or MIGHT NOT give me a free ticket

When I met my bf in the city, I told him my little dilemma complaining and whinging and forced him to use my ticket while I used his. For some reason, whenever he dipped it into the machine, it didn't beep. That was when I decided to swap tickets with him so that I wouldn't have to deal with such a minor problem everytime I used the bus or the train.

That day I watched Public Enemies with a bunch of people (which I'm not sure if i regret yet..). I had high expectations but I came out feeling disappointed. For me personally, the camera usage was pretty poor giving me a headache/ motion sickness at times. It didn't seem like it was professionally shot and that they were using a handheld camera instead. I saw no character development and it was hard to follow the story plot at times for me to understand why people were being shot ( but I must admit I was soo tired during that movie, I fell asleep).
Despite all the bad things I said, there was some things I did like such as the action with all the gun shots etc and some morals that were perceived during those times.

Afterwards I decided it was time to go home as I felt dead tired and my legs were aching (even though it was still 9:05pm, I had a 8am class the next day and I really needed sleep). I looked at the time and thought I had enough time to reach my bus stop but as I got there, they changed where my bus now picks up (thankfully it was 2m away). But not only that, I read from my old bus timetable saved on my phone and the new one said I had missed my bus by 15 minutes and must now wait another 1 hour!!!! It become the most long and annoying long one hour of wait I had ever experienced- also trying not to fall asleep.

In conclusion: I HATE PUBLIC TRANSPORT!
I also did learn how stubborn I am to changes which affects my personal life - humans are selfish beings~.

edit: they changed my beloved bus to an ALL STOPS BUS (previously it only stopped at major bus stops) so my trip home from school how takes 1.5x as long!!!!! >=[
