I took a nearly long bus ride today.It was great,I sat up front like some little kid on the top deck and felt the ice cold wind blasting from the air-con vents.I loved it.I should do it more often.
Of course the whole feeling feeling shiok sendiri moment was spoilt when some kids sat behind me and started chatting about angry birds. I.Don't.Like.That
But then back to me,(because I'm selfish that way).I started thinking how maybe I probably wouldn't get to enjoy this anymore,especially when I've finished my O's and I know I've screwed up.
I can't screw up.But know I probably will anyway.
You know sometimes, when you take long journeys like these,you shouldn't think it's an absolute bore,and start taking out your phones to text your friends or listen to music or whatever.
You should look around.Life's more fun that way.People don't realise that. Watch that old lady down the path adjusting her wedgie.Laugh at that young couple arguing.Scoff at some big school boy making his maid carry his loaded school bag for him.Think about what they're talking about,because you can't hear them.
For those few moments,someone else's lives come alive to you.
You're no longer cooped up in that tragic,hollow shell of yours. All because you care to observe.
And that is why I love long bus rides.Sometimes I never want to get off.
