Timing?
Easy.... From far, the bolded rego and roughly the time travelled from opposite NP bus stop to the NP bus stop.Like TIB877U, its even easier due to ads and newly repasted SMRT livery.

At first,no one knew my bus hobby,not even my parents,then,they start noticing that I kept looking at the bus whenever one comes by.So my parents knew about it.This was last year.
Then,I wrote my hobby on facebook (As seen in my profile page),then my whole class know about the hobby by the time it was March Holiday,
My parents starting knowing me like buses when i started pasting ads on buses many years ago. Should have reached at least 120 ads. -

People will ask me what bus to take to reach desired destination.
But sadded, lesser people in school are willing to make friend with me because of my hobby...... Bus hobby is also one of hobbies. Don't know why they find it weird.......

The reason of me being a bus enthu. starts very long time ago, where I was so wanted to take a bendy bus(called it long bus last time). But at that time, service 67 does not have bendy bus, only rigids, hence was very sad. But after a few weeks, a square box bendy brighten my day...was so happy and started to love buses especially bendy bus.
Looks like the MK1 bendy made your life change
On my side,the reason of being a bus enthu. because that time,when I was still in Pri 1,I lived at Woodlands Ave 7,so always take 969 if go to Chong Pang,then one day,I rode on TIB811J,the BC was chionging like mad,so I remembered the rego,hoping to ride the bus again,then this started changing into the interest about buses.

They may think that buses are just transportation,the only think they care about in the bus is the AC cold anot or the seat comfortable enough anot.

How typical they are.... Luckily, all truck services (except 74, 93 and 179) are FAC.The problem for RP people is: RP people who take 161 and 168 are not willing to stand all the way as all they want is to distress themselves in the bus by finding the seats, end up the queue very long and have to wait up for next bus.
For what I observed yesterday, 168 frequency kept at 5 to 6 minutes. This had eased crowd of people. However, more DDs should be deployed instead of SDs (esp. from BN side) so as not to wait more longer for next bus for those who can't squeeze in the front bus all thanks to front people who are not willing to stand.

Can say I started to gain interest in bus from 1998 when I took 53 from Lorong Ah Soo home. That day, I found the bus guide inside the bus. So, I decided to take it.
About a year later, I started to collect the SBS bus guides all around Singapore (which also includes 106, 173, old 175, 189 etc...)
Remembered the days when the TIBS bus guide came out, it was colourful, especially 61, 171 and 190.
Green- Bukit Batok
Purple- CCK
Brown- Terminals
Blue- Bukit Panjang
Orange- Woodlands
Yellow- YishunI think all primary school people, especially my classmates, knew that I collected the bus guide as I was featured in the 'Thumbs Up' newspaper during Primary Four (2000)

For me, basically I would stay on a low profile and I feel that I do not need to tell any of my outside friends that im a bus fan. Not to put it in a way that it is a disgrace as being a bus enthusiast or it is a big personal secret hobby but I feel that there is no need to go around telling everyone that im a bus enthusiast. As long as you abide the rules of being a bus fan such as not making a whole nuisience of yourself on the bus etc, that is already potraying a good image as a bus enthusiast yourself. If anyone would ask me whether im a bus fan, I wouldn't hesitate to reply yes. If no one ask me about it, of cuz I wouldn't say about it.
Agreed.I am exactly lik u.For wat go ard telling wen nobody asks u????Lik ke siao sia....Haha.Unless if ppl ask u,then nvm la as u said....
My sec sch frens last year most of them knows tat i am a bus fan.Especially since a few of them r aeroplane fans,we got along very well sharing info to each other abt buses n aerplanes.... :)
As for now in my ite so far,none of my new frens know tat i am a bus fan.My cousins ony tink tat i am pro in where the buses go.They dunno tat i know abt the models n everyting also....
My parents know tat i am a bus fan. -
Prefer to keep my activities confidential.

Haha, today show and tell.
Showed my ppt slides, my HK bus Review and my Citybus Tiger bus.
My form teacher(EL teacher) say only a true bus fan can know all these when I showed all the specs of the K230UB :D

When I mention the random rego in the class, people thought that I only like bus plate number, not bus alone.
For the god sake, every bus has its registration number (bus plate number), especially there are many 'clones' of KUBs, Merczs, B9s, Scania etc... in SIngapire.
