few interesting things on the bus to town today... interesting but annoying.

the bus was at the last bus stop in bukit panjang before hitting the expressway. many people boarded as usual, and some also alighted. the bottom line is that the bus stopped at this stop for pretty long. then the bus finally moved off. then i heard someone pressing the bell continuously. and this auntie shouted in chinese, " i want to get off!!! open the door!! hey! i want to get off!!" what the hell. did this auntie fell asleep or what? the bus stopped at the stop for so long and you didn't get off. i suppose the bus driver had to stop for her, because the next stop is AFTER the expressway, which is town area already. so no choice, the auntie wasted all the passengers' time by making the driver stop at the road side for her.

another incident was that i was sitting in the bus reading my book, then someone hit me on my head twice. it wasn't a tap. it was hard enough to be called 'hit'. i turned around and saw this indian baby. the mum apologised, which i was fine with. but i was just wondering, why is it that the last time i saw something similar, was also an indian baby!? that time, which was also on the bus, the baby kept grabbing my bag strap. it was okay because i like babies and i know they tend to be inquisitive. and then the baby suddenly reached out to the lady next to me, and gave the lady a slap. yes! the baby slapped the lady!!!! it was a pretty loud slap too. what the....
anyway back to today's incident, after the baby hit me on the head, his/her (i have no idea of the gender) mum started singing all sorts of nursery rhyme through the journey. especially a very long "Old McDonalds had a farm". so for very long, i have to endure all kinds of animal sounds... sigh.
