Got a lift from my father to come to school early today. He missed the Clementi Road exit, and I decided that I would just alight at ITE Dover and walk all the way to Arts. Well, the weather was fine and the walk was quite enjoyable. I had wanted to do 2 things - go to a comp lab and transfer some files from Zip disks to CDRs; and find breakfast. Turn out that I could do neither - today (the entire day) is a 'University Holiday'. The labs are all closed and so is the Arts canteen. Shucks. Anyway, I managed to spend an hour or so reading Today and Streats at the USP Student Lounge.
Getting to the LT13 busstop to catch the ISB back to PGP, I found that there were many people waiting. Great, I thought, the bus hasn't arrived yet. I figured that today being a holiday, the buses would be coming at half-hour intervals. After a short while, some of the people there got fed up with waiting and decided to walk to wherever it was they wanted to go. Barely a minute after they departed, the bus came!! They were already too far away to shout at, so I didn't. I must confess to being a little mean when I decided to sit on the curb side of the bus so I can see the look on their faces when the bus goes past. Well, they tried in vain to flag the bus down in between stops - the bus driver didn't even give them a glance.
Patience is a virtue.
