Warning: 184 bus drivers are blind. Use ur arms and legs to signal for them to stop the next time u need to take 184.
Was feeling very drained by the end of the day. Amost died of the boring prof lucky lecture and spent bulk of my energy trying to understand geogia's accent. But well, I was quite relieved when the day ended and i can be home to chiong my food and health project. I should be doing that now but i just feel that there is a need to vent all my frustrations before continuing with work.... =(
It rained after school. 3 963 buses past us before we finally got onto one. Tired, no seats and long journey.
So? Where does 184 come into the picture?
This "smart" girl here thought that 184 will shorten the time to get home. (184 turns into cashew road and then pending road which is just 5 minutes walk home. 963 goes all the way through old bt timah rd, BP plaza, petir road then pending road)
Thus, got off at one of the 963 bus stop happily to wait for 184. Started with a smile, then constant checking of watch, then shaking of head. It was quite a secluded bus stop. Initially there was a young boy waiting for a bus too so wasn't that scared. But after that boy got onto his bus, i was left alone. thought it will be alright...but no. 15 mins passed and i was still sitting at the same seat. I would have reached home by now.
By then, started regretting my move. Called mum. Mum said "是你自己选的,你就等哦" Ok. While i was on the phone with her, 184 finally came. Waved frantically and excitedly. So happy that i can be on the way home after waiting at the bus stop for so long. Told mum that the bus was here and hung up. BUT BUT BUT BUT!!!!!!!
My hopes were dashed when the bus just ZOOOOooooooMMmmmm past me. So felt like throwing my WALLET, STONES and SHOES at that bus!!! Wad a blind uncle!!! U made me wait so long and u din stop for me! I was so excited to get onto ur bus!
I was back alone at the bus stop feeling anger building up and blood starting to boil. Swearing and cursing the blind driver in my heart. I swear never to get off 963 to change to another bus ever again.When i called javin and complained about everything, i was laughing at my own silliness and suai-ness haha and of course was scolding the uncle non stop. the next 184 took another 5-8 minutes to come.
Got home at 8pm instead of the usual 7.30pm. The half and hour was a torture, seeing all the bus go past. I'm gonna appreciate 963 more. And, if i really do not have a choice but to take 184, i'll make sure that i wave my arms and legs such that the blind uncle can see me!!!!!!
