After 8:30am the disruptions and confusions seemed to get worse, still without official announcement from SMRT:

So the train stalled, first because an emergency button was pushed, and then due to congestion, and now a bloody train fault. Thanks @SMRT_Singapore #latetoworkagain #smrtfail #smrt

Back to the daily grind squeezing in SMRT's unbelievably crowded trains. One thing better than London's subway is there's mobile reception underground here and thus there is distraction from the crazy crowd in the palm of my hand

After 10am the problem was still not solved:

10 mins for the next train are you serious right now @SMRT_Singapore?! Instead of wasting time and effort changing your staff uniform can you fix your damn trains?!?!
