There are three main forms of public transport that you would find in any other major city－trains, buses and taxis.‎ TRAINS Trains run from 6:00 am to midnight. Single trip tickets start at 80 cents. If you buy an EZ-Link card for $15, you can ride the trains and buses as you like. If you need more information, just call Transit Link on 1800 767 4333.‎ BUSES There are several bus services in Singapore and fares start at 80 cents.

The husband worked day and night to support the family but gave no care of his wife. So she thought, “He doesn't love me any more. He just cares about his business ... not me”． ‎ One day, she was about to take a shower when he stopped her at the door, “Let me take it first, okay?” “Why not me first?” she asked. “I am tired, honey, you take it later, okay?” She was entirely unhappy. ‎ One day, she found nothing to do and turned on his computer. A few words came into her sight. Reading them, she burst into tears. It was his diary： ‎ Today, I was quite sad. She asked me why I was always taking the shower first, and I said to her, “I was exhausted.” She was unhappy. In her mind, I treated her not as well as usual, but what could I do? I was not as rich as before! We moved to the small apartment, and there was only one shower in the bathroom. It was so cold to take a shower in such a cold winter. But I found that if one person took the shower first, the room could get a little warmer. So every day I rushed to the bathroom first. I was thinking that, when she took the shower, the room would get warmer, even if it was only 1℃.‎ Now I cannot give her a comfortable life, take her to good restaurants, or buy expensive dresses for her, but at least, I can give her 1℃ love.‎ ‎24.Why did the couple move to the small apartment _______?

I keep hoping to get time to study one of these—probably French because it is the easiest. I did Duolingo for a while but didn't keep it up."‎ Gates, who is worth $79.3 billion, praised Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg for surprising an audience in Beijing when he spoke fluent Chinese. "Mark Zuckerberg amazingly learned Chinese and did a Q & A with Chinese students—unbelievable, isn't it?" he said.‎ This isn't the first time for Gates to admit his regret over language. He also showed his habits at home and personal insights.‎ Last February, Gates said he likes to do the dishes himself—to his own special standards every night and also told the interviewer that his wife, Melinda, would likely want Samuel L. Jackson to play her husband in a biopic(传记片).‎ He also admitted that he would pick up a $100 bill if he found it on the street.‎ As he took the top spot on Forbes(福布斯) 28th Annual Billionaires list last year for the fourth time, he said he is pretty basic when it comes to spending on clothes and food, but that he enjoys investing in shoes and rackets(球拍) when he plays tennis.‎ When asked a life lesson he had to learn the hard way, the billionaire said staying up too late is a habit he is still trying to break. "Don't stay up too late even if the book is really exciting. You will regret it in the morning. Pam is still working on this problem," he said.‎ ‎28.
