one month

It has been more than a month since i last posted an article. One and a half, to be exact. Well, as much as i want to write crap here, i just cannot find the time to do so. Blogging's supposed to be spontaneous. Spontaneous only if you took down each and every detail you came across for the day. Not to mention a month and a half. Well, people might think i'm boinkers if i start taking down notes while in a bus. For one thing, some paranoid might think i'm trying to invade his or her privacy, and might have dialled the police then and there.

It is not an easy task trying to recall the day's event. Not that i'd a very eventful day. More like i don't have a 40GB RAM memory. I had the chance to read articles by Jason Hahn in the 8 Days very frequently. If you could still recall, i once wrote an article on buses. DON't ask me to place a link to that article here. Cos i do NOT know how to. Well, if i remembered correctly, i specified the bus service number then as well. Bus 105. Hateful.

Well, in recent issues if 8 Days, Jason actually said something about buses. Bus 105. Same stand as mine. Seems like Bus 105 isn't a very popular bus. Never had i ever thought that someone would write something on buses like me. We might have some affinity there. Something A.K.A LOTR. Fellowship of 105? I would luv to meet this guy in person. Not the homosexual kinda way. Just curious to see how this guy look like. Maybe we could even sit together in 105 and start observing people. Maybe he would write about me in his column then. Do i sound psychotic? I very much assure you i'm not. Neither am i gay. Well, i believe lots of people do like reading Jason's columns in 8 Days as much as i do.

Wait....I've just thought of something...

There's something really wrong with passengers in the bus. Majority prefer resting their bums on the seat closer to the aisle. As opposed to being in the sky where everyone wants a window seat, no one wants a window seat except me. This aisle seating thing does piss me off. REally PISSES me off. It's okay if you're alighting in a few stops. But some, irregardless of the length of their journey, hang on to their aisle seat. I usually board 105 a stop from where it begins its journey from the interchange, which means, i board at the stop just after the bus leaves the interchange. Imagine what i see when i board the bus.


Now tell me where am i supposed to sit?

Requesting to get into the window seat from anyone is bound to be accompanied by an irritated look. HELLOOOOOOOO!!!! As if i have to "ask for permission" before i sit beside you. I have the right to sit beside you because i've paid my share of bus-fare. If you're not happy about it, then pay double for that empty seat beside you so that it warrants you the RIGHT to leave it unscathed.

When i was younger, the government, our teachers, my parents stressed on basic courtesy. Basic courtesy doesn't just include speaking prim and proper English without profanities.

I may utter strings of expletives in my daily conversation. But at the very least, i can daringly say i'd never hog an aisle seat.
