stupidity

Ms. Moo (@) says:
chill chill
don't u know? we're retreating into caveman days
the cepas card replacing ez link is stupid
the cels security is so tight nobody wants to use the faster lift anymore

Chuu says:
exactly!!

Ms. Moo (@) says:
now NUS has undecipherable websites

Chuu says:
wat's the diff between the 2 cards rite?

Ms. Moo (@) says:
how wonderful

Chuu says:
stupidity!!

Ms. Moo (@) says:
oh just a huge step back into inconvenience
did u know
that alvin and i, who're giro users
have waited so long for the giro thing to be set up for cepas
only to realize that giro auto top ups are now charged at a VERY CHEAP $0.25 per top up
they call it a convenience fee
the previous ez link system was FREE, mind you
and THEN
if you want to use GIRO
you need to pay a refundable amount equal to what you want to top up
e.g. my giro amount to top up is $20
means i need to pay $40 FIRST
then consequently it's $20.25 at each top up

Chuu says:
wat...

Ms. Moo (@) says:
so i thought

Chuu says:
that's so silly

Ms. Moo (@) says:
screw you. i'd rather manual top up
but ALAS
THERE IS NO INCREASE IN THE AMOUNT OF TOP UP MACHINES
SO EVERY MORNING
THERE IS A QUEUE AT SIMEI MRT STATION
OF PEOPLE WANTING TO TOP UP THEIR $@&#$ CEPAS CARDS
WHICH ALSO NOW STOPS YOU FROM ENTERING A BUS/TRAIN IF YOU HAVE LESS THAN $3 IN YOUR %&#*^%$ CARD
*enraged*

i'm not sure if i read my piece of information sheet from CEPAS correctly coz i was so irritated after seeing the key words '$0.25 convenience fee', and 'refundable deposit of the same amount' that i (accidentally) tore my sheet into two.

please correct me if i'm wrong. thanks.
