Buses from hell.

When this story is told,
it will be known as
'The worst morning of my life'
or
'Buses from hell'
or
'I should have taken down his damn license plate number'

So
In the morning,
supposed to go for swimming practice for 
swimming competition within the battalion.

Went half an hour early to the bus-stop.
was unsure of the bus number to take,
so checked the list.
found the correct one,
so i took the bus when it came.

when i boarded the bus,
i double-confirmed with the bus driver.
seemed like his first time driving
or something, cause he was unsure as hell.

but he kept telling me
that his bus didnt go anywhere near nee soon camp
(where I wanted to go)
and asked me to take 851 from the opposite side of the road.


So i was like.... really? I thought i took this bus the other time,
but i alighted
and went opposite
to realize
NO SUCH BUS EXISTS.


Then i went back,
and realized my first bus
WAS THE RIGHT BUS ALL ALONG.
i was left with 5 mins then.


and was pretty much panicking,
since i was in-charge
and had to take attendance
and all that other administrative matters.


then the bus finally came.
but by then i was already late.

so the bus went on
and on.
then i saw nee soon camp!
as the bus was heading towards it,
with my already late for 10 minutes,
IT TURNED.


TURNED.
ALL THE WAY INTO PRIVATE ESTATE.
AND UP TO SELETAR RESERVOIR.


alighted.
felt like sitting on the curb
and just....giving up.


until a cab came.
and i flagged it.
and it took me to camp.
late for half an hour.


didnt take attendance.
probably gonna be banned from coming out on thursday.

but at least it was over.


or so i thought.


went to nex for lunch,
overshot the bus stop,
alighted,
took another bus.


after lunch,
then wanted to take 22 home.


22 came and stopped a distance away from the bus stop
waited for it to come up to the head of the bus-stop.
but it just....drove off.
i was pretty much halfway to hulk mode.
So i ran beside the bus,
and knocked on the door.


the bus driver looked at me,
AND ACCELERATED THE BUS.
ACCELERATED.

I RAN EVEN FASTER.
and knocked..harder.
he accelerated.


i just gave up halfway.


went down to mrt,
and took the mrt home.


i swear i have never felt more happy to step INSIDE the house.


I should have taken their license plate numbers.
dammit.
