the science of bussology...
have you eveer waited for the bus for SOOO LOOONG that it felt as if you were waiting for the sky to fall? or that you were waiting for Christopher Columbus and Mel Gibson to lock lips right in front of you? According to this newly discoevered science of bussology, if the above has indeed happened to you, it only means one thing: that further down along the line, I'm waiting for the same bus that you're gonna be taking.
My luck with buses is truly AMAZING. Its as if one of my ancestors set fire to an innocent bus and now the predecessors of the above mentioned bus bear a grudge against me and have sworn to carry out the long lasting venedetta against me and my kind. Here's an exaample... today i wanted to take bus 200 to get back to my room. in the time that it took for my ONE bus to come, 2 bus 74s went past, 2 bus 105s went by, 2 95s went by, 3 106s went by and FIVE 111s went by. According to the time sheet, the buses leave the terminal at an interval of 20 mins, but... i waited there for 40 mins to get the bus. here's another example. To get from Fong Seng to my room, i can take SEVEN buses. Not too long ago, i waited for about 10 mins for any ONE of the SEVEN, but none came, so i decided to walk the 2 busstops distance to the stop outside my room. Just as i reached the stop i was supposed to get off (on foot) FOUR of the seven buses appeared, ALL AT THE SAME TIME.
I am so lucky with buses, i can almost predict to the exact moment when the bus will appear, exactly when the bus is JUST out of running ability. like when i'm crossing a 6 lane road. Or when i'm waiting for the green light to turn red so i can cross the road. Or when i'm in the middle of crossing an overhead bridge. Or i when i'm switching buses i get off the bus i'm on BEHIND the next one i'm supposed to take. Fantastic.
But... look on the bright side, at least now you know when you're gonna meet me. :) see you the next time you wait a long time for the bus!
