wonderbra. this word SAVED MY LIFE.
AHWELLS. lemme tell you how.
today i got a little lost in newton (dont ask why i was in newton-.-) because i left my ez-link card in AHEM'S house. and i only noticed it when i got onto the bus. so i had to survive my treacherous journey from newton back home with no ez-link and only $1.60 in my wallet-.-
and i could not possibly get home with $1.60 because i had to take a bus to newton, then i had to take mrt to city hall,change to tiong then i had to take a bus and then i had to walk from the bus stop to my house. AND IT WAS RAINING. bleargh.
hence AHEM suggested i begged (which means busk/do a strip-tease/sell tissue papers etc.) in the mrt station for some kind samaritan to donate a dollar or so to me. but thin-skinned me did not want to do so. hence with my clever eyes, i spied bus 167 on the sign at the bus stop which would take me home.
then my clever retina captured the 167 image into my eye nerves and my nerves changed them into signals that would be interpreted by my clever brain. my clever brain then used logic, common sense, and mathematics to tell me that taking the bus would save me more time and money (as well as from selling tissue paper)than taking the train(s) and buses.
therefore i took the 167 bus and politely asked the driver if he was going to bukit merah. and the nice driver with the moustache delivered the most joyous news ever, that yes, THE BUS COULD BRING ME HOME. i rejoiced but alas, it was not to be for long.
why? because i made a fool of myself on the bus. i shall address that later.
first,the bus went this EXTRA long way, which brought me to SUNTEC(!!) and then to the keppel-thingy, which my clever brain cant remember. -.-|||
second, i was so hysterical that i would get lost again because the bus went to suntec that i almost got a heart attack on the bus. AT THAT MOMENT, THE BUS U-TURNED BACK TO THE CORRECT ROUTE. see how stupid i was? oh wells.
third, i made a fool of myself by sleeping on the bus next to this fat lady with nerdy specs, because i was literally nodding off. and my head was bobbing like the hawaiian dolls with bobbing-wobbling spring heads you see on taxi dashboards. and i almost JUMPED OUT OF MY SKIN AND SEAT WHEN MY HANDPHONE RANG WHILE I WAS SLEEPING.
i think i scared everyone cos *ahem* i noticed that lots of eyes were staring at me. oops(:
and because i was sitting at the seat nearest to the exit, and my head was leaning on the pole that all the people exiting would most probably grab hold on, some of my poor hair was lost, never to be found again. haiz. and i went home DEAD TIRED.
oh yes, and the wonderbra thing. when i got on the 167 bus, i was worried that it would be the wrong one in the wrong direction which, my dad warned me, would take me to UPPER THOMSON ROAD, which is like, on the other end of singapore. and hence i kept my clever eyes open (despite of the fatigue mentioned above) and spied again the sign WONDERBRA with the yellow background in the window of a shopping mall. that was when i heaved a sign of relief as i noticed that sign many a times when my dad was fetching me home from that direction. so i knew i was on the right track.lalala. oh yes, and if you ever want to buy that wonderbra, dial FIONAS-LIFE-SAVER to preorder. thank you very much for your kind attention. *winks
this is the end of my very own 'LOST' story. hehehe(:
