Bus Ride

Ever since i got a car, i discarded the use of buses for more than a decade.

Today i took a ride on bus. I sent my car for service, there is about 3 hours waiting, thus i decided to take bus to fix my handbags. I got two of them, there are gifts from friends, i wanted to repair, its valuable to me. I felt excited after decision made, hey it was umpteen years since my last ride on bus!

I walked about 5 mins to a bus station, there is only few people at the station. A bus is heading towards the bus stop, however i was lost about the route of buses thus i didn't stop it, it stop not far from me thought there is someone else going to ride, while i was thinking which to take, the ticket seller called upon me, "come, come, Sogo, Sogo", it enlightened me because the place i wanted to go was just nearby, so i step into the bus.

It was full of passengers, they comprised mostly indians and Malays, some foreign workers etc, it alerted me about the pocket picker. No seating available, and i almost lost the balance when bus is running, ha, well, it isn't a difficult tasks for me. I managed balance myself while one holding handbag the other digging coins. Oh ya, these buses still uses manual ticketing, i hand the note the the ticket seller..As the bus goes, more and more passenger come on board, the more packed it's. Worst is, it was terribly jam when it reaches the suburb. each time when the bus accelerating it "pushes" me against the opposite direction, I need to hold damn tight at the rail for not falling aside while taking care of my personal belongin..i endure for like half an hour..by the time i get off from the bus, i felt so tired.

Well, what a bus ride..tiring..if you ask me whether i would take another ride? i would say, i would prefer to drive.
