Bus Reminiscences

freaking tired...i almost cant feel my legs..gonna crash the bed soon..

had quite a different day today. packed everything for home and choudry sent me to the bus stop. took the 10.30 bus to pudu. .

reached pudu..saw the working man..mr pragash the great..fuyoo...u people should check him out.. with the black pants and moss blue shirt all tucked in..wow..like hrithik roshan..ok ok..enough pragash..dun perasan so much..went and ate KFC..all the while he was irritating me and i was kutuking him as usual. should see the time when he really cannot tahan with my words and his face will turn sort of yellowish greenish blue with disgust:P

damn sad while leaving..bus was at 1.30. the drivers were indian guys,one young one old..the young one asked me where im going..kulim ah? and i said yeah with a damn blur plus scared look...

then was sitting in the bus thinking about life in UNI and was feeling so sad..a few drops of tears flowed..lucky those guys didnt see me crying..

reached parit buntar..again the guy came up to me and asked where im studying..where im staying..etc etc etc..i was half scared..half sleepy..half tension..not getting much response from me..the guy went back to his cockpit( the driver's seat :P)

then the older guy came and asked if he can sit beside me..he was almost as old as my dad..then he asked if i was a tamil and told me dont get offended or scared..they were simply kacauing me..and he started talking..about old hindi actors and actresses up to the education today and also about the status of indians today..he told me about his experience driving lorry..getting hijacked and almost killed..selling pirate VCDs and struggling to make ends meet. he has 4 children and he wants to send them to university and his family (mum dad siblings) are all in india and he havent seen them for almost 30 years.he kept me occupied and it was nice listening to him..i really hope god will bless both of them and give them a better life soon..he said he enjoyed working as a bus driver..meeting new people and all...

in fact..all the while when i was traveling to and fro from KL to kulim and from kulim to KL,i have met many new characters and it was fun knowing them. once an old malay man sat beside me and he was telling me about his life history and also how life was working as a forest ranger etc etc..there was a kelantanese teacher who was briefing me about education..there was another malay man who stays in kulim and works in KL..every weekend he travels back home and i see him almost all the time if i take the plusliner bus at 4.30 pm on fridays...boy..how tiring..then there were two indian guys..kanes and tiagu..disturbing me nonstop in the bus..if i sleep..they asked me why i was sleeping..if i stay awake..they asked me why i was not sleeping ..then finally they had the courage to introduce themselves and be friends..

ahh..not to forget..i remember meeting some of my old classmates and long lost friends in the bus..ah...the time when i met a guy named paran. i worked as waitress in one of the shops for charity during thaipusam in penang and there was this guy who was disturbing and teasing the way i was bringing the food..and one week later..i was waiting for the bus in pudu..there he was..recognized me from far and accompanied me until i boarded the bus..

...sweet memories in the bus..travelling with nalin from melaka to penang during alpha years was fun. how we were shivering with the air cond and with the midnight air..sigh...

anyway...it was so nice talking to that man..learnt a lot..i realised something..people who are uneducated are actually brainy..this man i was talking too..well he was telling me about economics and how life is right now..he explained how life should be and coming to think of it..he was right..told me how lifestyle is right now..people struggling to make ends meet..how much people are stressed up with life..last time (according to him) people work about 8 hours per day and after that,they just forget abt work until the next day..now people bring work stress home..life becomes miserable ..he was also describing the american theory of economics and healthy living.

then it was time to leave..he and the younger guy said bye bye and wished me good luck..god bless them always..

im back home..kind of bored..feeling like a "pengangur"..hope to find something to occupy myself..pretty soon!
