bus blues

Such a hassle to get to school today... Rushed to get to the bus stop cos saw two double-decker buses in the distance and thought that at least one of them should be 10, of course my probability calculations didn't matter, since, lo and behold, once i got to the bus stop, hot and sweaty, realised that those two buses were 12 and 14... sigh...
So i waited, and 5 minutes later, what should i see, but another two double-decker buses. Surely, on e of them must be 10? But of course, was proved wrong yet again, they were yet another tandem of 12 and 14...
Finally, 5 minutes later, what shold appear but a single-decker and crowded 10... Had to stand all the way to Shenton Way once again... But anyways, i thank God for the opportunity to even be able to talk to him standing up in the bus... Am reminded of the song "Did You Ever Talk To God Above?" Part of the lyrics go "You can whisper in a crowd to Him etc..." It's truly so wonderful that we can talk to God at anytime and anyplace, isn't it? :-)
Also reminded that although we always complain about the bus system here, it actually is far worse in other places, [When i was in Niagara Falls, NY, the bus came once every hour, so silly tourist me waited at the stop iin the frigid december weather for the longest time, before realising that there was a schedule that stated the once-an-hour business] so we can still be thankful... Of course we should give thanks in all circumstances...
Anyway, also remember that yesterday, i took a 12 thinking it was 32 for some strange reason, (maybe i need glasses) good thing managed to realise that in time and change buses accordingly... Thank God for the bus pass...
