Ticket to ride* - The Beatles

I hang on to me dear life and just stare outside, like i always do. I love looking at people in their cars! I'd look at the toddler in the back seat amusing himself wif an empty bottle, the female companion giving the male driver what Jess calls the "look-left syndrome", i'd be being amused by how stupid people look talking animatedly with their hands free kit while driving, seeing the multi-taskers reading the newspapers spread across the steering wheel, shaking me head at the number of people who chat away without a hands-free kit while driving - oh, oh, there was this one guy tho who happily talked away while his female fren from the front passenger seat leaned across and controlled the steering wheel - now that's team-work!!!

When i get bored, i turn me attention to those inside - the most interesting character was this lady i saw who started putting on curlers on her hair!!!!!! Serious!!!! I glanced at the others but everyone else was politely pretending not seeing that! At least when that woman was done putting on all the curlers, she pulled out a cap, wore it and proceeded to go to sleep!!!

A fella would be at the back seat eating kuaci and leaving the skins(? shells?) all over the floor. There'll be people conducting long conversations thru text messages - while others just chat loudly and let everyone into the conversation! One guy even lied saying he was in USJ when we just passed Sunway Pyramid! Most people will try to sleep and a handful will read. Some guys will be checking out girls - hello? Can you be any more obvious????? The only thing missing is the drool! Be more discreet, man! Like muah! ;-P

And if the radio is not turned on, Jewel will be singing into me ears via me mp3 player. If we are not packed like sardines, i might just fish out me book and read - i get so much reading done these days! :-) If i'm too tired, i'll catch a nap - provided i get a place to sit.

Yes, i love taking the bus to work! I love the walks back home from the bus stop. I love not having worry about the inconsiderate and selfish drivers, the crazy motorbikers, the obliviously dangerous people behind a steering wheel. Not only do i not get stressed and turn into a raging monster, I actually enjoy the long journeys to and from work!!!! Sure, the travelling time is longer but it's worth it!

And unless Carina comes out wif her
BallShrinker 24 anytime soon, i'll avoid having to drive thru the traffic jam and pay RM2 a day to RapidKL.

* This song is ranked as #384 in 2004 by the Rolling Stone magazine in their list of the 500 greatest songs of all time! Proclaimed by John Lennon to be the first heavy metal song of all time, it is also Noel gallagher's favourite Beatles' song.
