Of Bus rides...
Dear TomHa,
I guess it had been a long time since I last wrote a serious entry, since the last one was like last saturday? Quite long for a frequent blogger like me. So today, I shall blog seriously, recounting to you the some of the rather interesting and embarassing events that happened to me. Isn't it strange that I would always have embarassing accounts to blog about? Hmm..

Today, I went swimming in school, as what I had always been doing these past few weeks as I just can't find the legs to run and cycle along Bt. Batok. There are so many construction projects goinig on recently that the air is so polluted that I just feel that I am sucking in as much tar as a smoker. Cycling is worse. Cycling on the road means jostling with the stream of traffic and jostling with the traffic means that you will have to smell whatever that is emited from the car's butt. It is like being forced to inhale someone's ermm gas excretion directly from the source! To make things worse, there seems to be a mutual silent agreement between all truck drivers that cyclists should never be allowed on the road as they try to jostle to knock you out of your seats! Cycling is dangerous activity considering the presence of all those noisy polluting speed maniacs out there. Think I am going to boycott Initial D...

Anyway, that is not the point. The point is after a good swim of 30 laps in 31:46min, which I feel rather happy about (I shall swim faster than Phelps one fine day...) After the swim, I proceeded to take a bus to Bt Panjang Plaza to go to the library to read the comics there. The bus was quite packed, and then a pregnant lady came aboard and stood beside me. We were standing quite in front, near the spot where there are 2 seats facing the back, and there sits 4 handsome young man who apparently can see well and I seriously don't see any disability in them that disallows the giving up of their seats to a lady who is carrying a baby. In any case, just to be sure, I tried to be polite and requested that this person sitting in front of me give up his seat. Excuse me sir, could you kindly give up your seat to this pregnant lady over here? He snubbed me, and boy was I in rage. What the heck has this world evolved into. Forget about chivalry to the ladies, here we have a lady who is carrying 2 lives in her and there you are, happily talking away with your buddies. Wanted to whack him so much, luckily, there was a middle aged man behind who gave up his seat. But the indignance never die.

After my comic reading stint at BP, I decided that I will go to JP's Toys'r'us to see if there are any new toys. Thus, another bus ride and like always, 180 is rather empty but as it gets to BB, the people started coming in and whoala, a chiobu wearing tube top came and sit beside me! Ar, my hair looked more like a mushroom crown than hair especially since it was after swimming! Darn, but apparently, she was rather tired or I don't know what, she fell asleep and the tumblings and turnings of the bus swivelled her head to lie on my delts. Oh my Oh my, the feeling of romance. Feeling so in love. The indignant of the past bus ride was fast dissolved into the tide of tender loving care that my masculinity is showering upon her little shoulders.. Ar.. then I reached BL.. Darn, time nv freeze when u want it to. Sighz..Still indulging in this experiece..
