Bus ride

When I board a bus, esspecially when there is passengers..duh...

Many discriminating thoughts rushed through my mind awaiting quick decisions...

" Should I sit beside the cute girl or the fat guy?, but if I sit next to her, she will think i am a pervert, but i would not have much space with the fat guy.

or

" I should not sit near that smelly dude, I think I will stand."

However, its interesting to also see who will sit next to you when there are a few vacant seats.

" *grin, lets hope a sexy nice smelling girl will sit next to me "

Perhaps I am weird, not sure other people have so much thoughts. Probably simple minded people would just sit anywhere thats the nearest.

I notice some unwritten rules.

1. The bus seat facing backwards, is always the last place to be taken up or sometimes vacant and passengers prefer to stand. Perhaps they feel uneasy facing the rest of passengers. Or, they have a big zit and do not want people to stare at them.

2. Girls will always choose to sit with girls and guys will always sit with guys. Maybe girls think most guys are pervert and guys don't girls to think they are pervert. I personally, would like to sit next a pretty girl.

3. Aunties, post-ladies with NTUC plastic bags..you know whom i meant don't care as long there are seats.

4. Perhaps there is a little hint of racism in us too. We will prefer to seat with our own race.

5. When someone seated on the aisle seat and leave the window seat vacant, he/she is saying..I prefer you not to sit next to me...leave me alone. More obviously, if he/she puts his/her bag there, meaning "don't you understand my body language, leave me alone"

Nevertheless, sometimes bud rides coupled with a train rides are more efficient than having a car. Sometimes only...

Maybe I will tell you why you should not have a car in Singapore.

bus, train rides are uncomfortable. i hate it. but too poor to do anythg about it (like, having a car in SG). Bus or train, of cos wanna find a niceee spot.. otherwise, smelly, hot, sitting next to big size ppl, ppl who doze off n keep leaning onto you, i felt like throwing them out of the bus/train, n guys who wear short sleeves, no offence but i really hate it loh, when their sleeve touches my arm! hate it!
