I was surprised at how frustrated I was when I got off the bus today.
Well of course extremely crowded buses and empty seats either being completely embraced or ignored irritated me. It was always either extreme case; either everyone was pushing and shoving to get that seat (unfortunately, it was such a case today) or just ignoring it and pretending they could handle the growing density of people in the bus without it. It usually depended on the age group.
I was extremely anxious to get New Moon from Leena today! I was just waiting eagerly for the moment I could get some peace and quiet to slowly start devouring it. I could feel Edward's prescence with me already. Seriously, he's that godly great.
Today's cultural exchange with Marge was hilarious. :D I was shooting (k, shooting means fast. but needless to say, I took an age for each word. ages for a presumably a sentence) chinese words (i hope) at her in the most grammatically incorrect way, and vaguely indian things (won't necessarily call them words) would come idling back. Enjoyed it wo the MAX.
Today was a pretty great day might I add. (cept for the later non-school part) All the tension of shitchem was forgotten. Majorly thanks to three ten and Nat's Spongebob Monopoly! <3 And of course Marge & Mir. K I will promise to fill up the MnM envelope with allllll my stuff. Kay? :D
Sighsighsigh. I thought the wait to Dental appointment at Orchard would be fun. Just me and New Moon and Edward... Sighsighsigh. (Haha, is this scaring you yet? The obsession over Edward? It should, by now.) I left for Orchard after abandoning Marge to use the toilette. It's freaking gross might I add. It evoked disgust, revolt, anger, and nearly vomit in me. Sighsighsigh.
I had no idea to pass over 3 hours in Orchard without looking like a hobo who's out looking for a get-rich-quick scheme. So off to BibiBaba first I guess. Directions from Mum/Marge/My own brilliant brain got me to the place. Turns out it was right below (or so) Lido. Sheeshakapeesh.
Hanywayz, there the business was finished rather quickly. The salesperson was far too efficient, much to my growing discomfort that I will soon be spending a long unwelcome stay at godknowswhere at Orchard, and she got me exactly what I wanted in the blink of my hen ta eye. Darnshit. [Notice how well my Chinese skills are used. Grins widely for all xiao yatche to be seen. (small teeth, for non culturally talented)]
Then my fears came into action (?!). I had over 3 hours and nowhere to go! So I decided to adopt the hobo role after all. For now. I just had a Sub and Double ChocChip cookie at Fareast (again, to kill time during my long wait) so I wasn't hungry in the least. However, I did order a medium fries because of course you just can't walk into Macs and sit there and start reading a book without ordering anything! That's a plain immoral unjust act. Hence I sit there nibbling on those fries and just delving deeper and deeper and nearly disappearing into New Moon. It was an awesome experience. Just the peace and quiet I needed. Until...
I got thirsty. Very thirsty. Extremely uncomfortably thirsty. Something that one coke or 200 pepsis couldn't cure.... For BLOOD. Nyeheh. Kidding.
But yeah, I have this strange thing where I grow so thirsty (for water, mind you) that I can drink and drink about 4 glasses of water. I'm feeling it right now. Brb.
K back. but now I could drink water. Then, could I? Me being the shithead I am, I haven't been bringing water to school for nearly a month. Why? Beats me.
But anyway, it greatly disrupted my reading. And I couldn't continue. I couldn't sit there any longer.
Plus I finished my fries.
So okay to cut the long story short, I went to my dental clinic, only about 1/2 hour left to my appointment. But hurrah! I got called early. Forgot about my thirst by then though. (Orange and yellow bands, haah it was a random choice)
Then I was seriously looking forward to when I can get on that train, sit in the cold seat, and just lose myself in the book. Honestly, it's why I'm so happy I'm literate. So I can read books. Haha and cause I can get a job. K out of point :D
But what did I get when I stepped into that train? Shoving. Shovingshovingshoving. Oh, I ached for a seat. Trust me, I was carrying four things in my hand: Bibibaba shitheavy bag; Wallet pouch; Bag (being as adorable as it is, i'm sorry to say, its straps have no ability whatsoever to stay on my shoulder); Book. The last being the most treasured for obvious reasons (It's heavenly... And it's not mine. Teehee)
However I was clutching everything close to me, scared I might let something go. And I didn't even have free hands to hold onto the pole. I swear, there were moments where I was positive I would come crashing down. Thankfully, I survived.
The bus wasn't any better. At Yio Chu Kang, I have choices for two buses: 72 [Shortortort ride, but sucks in terms of space] 70 [Long ride, but luxurious space]
72 came first and I take it only to think later why the hell didn't I wait for 70.
And then the bus sucks bigtime, and I develop certain aches with my arm (I wonder why) K, I'll answer it. Cos I was trying to read New Moon anyway. I wasn't going to waste time I could otherwise have with it just because of some stupid bus.
Like yay :D
Yet. I felt so irritated when I got off, I started walking straight off toward home, much faster than usual. Sighsighsigh. I guess there's nothing that can stop anyone getting mad at a crowded bus.
Not even Edward. (Ilovehim btw, have I mentioned before?)
