Taking the public transportation is enriching. If you have not taken the bus for a long time, give it a try. Maybe not on working day as you might be late for work due to our bus service excellent timing! Give a try on the weekend when you don't have to clock in at work. Be a bit observant when you are on the bus. Look a round and you will bound to discover some amuzing events or disgusting things.
On my way to the office this morning riding on a bus, I noticed that the bus had a face-lift! The seats railings and the sides have been given a new coat of paint. Much better condition now although still no aircon. Even the floorboard of the bus had a new coat of paint. However, the bus driver and his sidekick ie the ticket man is still very much the same. The driver drives like a F1 driver and the ticket is a grumpy old man. If you do not give him the exact change, he will mumble this and that. I think all ticket man are the same. :)
As all sorts of people take the bus, you will be able to observe many human behaviour. Example, I observed 2 aunties(Ah Sum) sitting in front of me chatting away non-stop. Since their voice are quite high I was able to listen to every word they are saying. Want to know what they are chatting about? They are talking about the antics of our MP at the parliment! Wow! When do you hear "ah sum" talk about this. Nowadays, ah sum also very smart already. Don't play play! They said that our MPs(Members of Parliment, in case you do not know wht is MP) behaved like kids at the parlimentary session, calling names at each other instead of replying to question fielded to them! I tottally agreed with them.
On the other side of the bus, a young chap was busy digging gold! Digging gold from his nose! Earrghhh.....! So disgusting! Openly pricking his nose in front of everyone. No wonder nobody dares to sit with him. He might just accidentally drop his gold on you! Hehehe!
At eleven o'clock where I was seated is a punk! Why I called him a punk is that he smoked while he was the bus. Told him drop the cigarette as it is against the law to smoke in a bus. He just took a look at me and gave me the dirty look. Really wanted to smack him in the face. Fortunately for him, the ticket man quickly asked that punk to stop smoking which he reluctantly did so. Real useless bugger!
Hmmm..........at 7 o'clock from my seat, a pretty girl was chatting away on her handphone. Probably chatting to her boyfriend from the expression shown on her face. She was smiling while chatting away. Must have been those sweet sweet words from her honey! Aiyah! She calls the person on the phone honey! Wow! In broad day light and in a bus! So daring the girls are nowadays! No more shy shy one le. I bet she must have a lot of guys going after her! Well, I would also go after her if I am 20 years younger! :)
Right at the back of my seat is a lady in her forties busily munching away her breakfast! She must be in a hurry. Normally it is not easy to eat on the bus especially with so many eyes watching you. Well, eating bread is ok but eating fried koay teow from a plastic food bag is no easy task. But for this lady, she did it with flying colors!
Ok, that's all for the morning ride. You would not be able to see all these when you drive to work, right? :)
