Buses and trains* - Bachelor Girl

As i was driving home after cell gathering when a Rapid-KL bus passed me along the LDP. I glanced inside the nearly empty bus - and i got nostalgic.

I really miss the days when i used to commute - trains, buses, tubes, DLRs. Sure, having a car is much convenient. But at the end of the day, it feels so good to just sit and relax while being driven back. Dun have to worry about the traffic of the reckless driver or the guy who is travelling at snail's pace on the fast lane.

Instead, i can just look out the window and enjoy the view - or just see life go by outside. i do that now while i drive but it has its limitations, obviously - and has resulted in many a near miss!

And after a while, i can just phase out and not worry tt i will run onto the roadside or go off the rails! If i'm not too tired, i can do a spot of reading. If not, perhaps i may get to participate in some people watching if the bus or carriage i'm in is not empty.

Just the sight of the bus brings back so many memories from a life that seems so long ago, when time seems to pass by slowly - and i get to take my time and truly savour every last bit of it.
