Back with my blunders again...

I just got home... red-faced...

I was waiting for sometime at Canteen A bustop for the 179 just now as i didnt drive today... Finally it arrived and i quickly boarded it...

A few stops later, an indian couple with 2 kids came onboard with a pram that makes the whole passageway so squeezy, therefore i offered my seat to the lady with her daughter... As the bus moved on, the little gal begin to play with the bell, and she kept pressing it, and the blur mum didnt even know.. the bus was moving quite fast ( the mum should pay more attention to her gal because if there is some sudden hard braking, i'm sure the jumpy gal will fly off, but she didnt...) and i can sense the frustration of the bus driver as he refuses to stop at one of the busstop even though the bus stopping light was lit and the bell was ringing away... anyway there wasnt any one who wanted to alight...

i wanted to go up to the mum and tell her to stop what her daughter was up to, but i think nvm la, just let her be, anyway my stop is approaching...

As i'm afraid that the bus driver may refuse to stop as he thought that there may be a prank, i decided to stand at the exit door early so that at least he can see me from his mirror... but as the bus approaches the bus stop, the driver did not stopped! i panic and as the gal is beside me and is still playing with the bell, the volcano within me exploded...

i spoke loudly and sternly to the mum: Can you please stop your gal from pressing onto the bell! she has been pressing it for some time already! ( Hinting that because of her playing with the bell, the bus driver skipped the bus stop totally...)

Next i thought its still okie, i can still alight at the next bus stop, so i walked to the driver and told him, uncle i'm sorry but i need to alight, and he replied:


"Sorry bus 179A do not stop outside NTU"

Den i thought, oh man! this is bus 179A! what a blunder! oh shit, why didnt i even notice! well i guess i was too much in a hurry to go up the bus le... In the end i apologised to the driver and plead to him to let me alight somewhere along the road... luckily he i still okie with it... otherwise i would have to make one big stupid round...

And i didnt dare to look back or walk back to the exit door, i just stood rooted beside the driver until he stop somewhere and i alighted and nv look back again....

But i think i still did right in scolding the mum...
