number fifteen

the other day. two stupid things happen. i couldn't believe my luck. but it was one of those days, i could honestly feel it in my bones and blood, that something was going to happen to me.

number one : i got a one hundred dollar fine for using a concession bus card without a student concession card. understand? i'm supposed to be using an adult card despite being a student...the laws are so stupid over here. the story is, i decided to get out of my shell and go to the bookshop, kino, to flip through some books to stir up my brain juice. i rode on the bus. happily. but at the same time, with a weird nagging feeling and suddenly i had a flash back to when he gave me this disapproving look when he saw me whip out my concession bus card the last time i took a bus. anyway. this time i was alone. i went to kino. and disaster stuck there. i'll tell you soon. so. done with kino - head back home. as i was walking to the bus stop, i saw two bus conductors, (one ang mor, one with a turban) hanging around the bus stop. i thought, ok, take the bus after theirs. so i waited. one bus conductor gave me a funny look. as though he knew what i was up to. i boarded my bus. i was weary. i was keeping a look out. one stop. two stops. on the third stop, i spotted them getting off the bus in front of mine. i panicked. i saw the familar turban getting closer and closer.
i frantically pressed the bell. nothing worked for me.i quickly got off my seat and dashed to the front of the bus where the door was opened for boarding passengers. as i was about to make my leap off the bus, the BLOODY guys came up the bus. i tried to shuffle past them. but they already knew my game. i innocently said "this is my stop. i have to get off here..." turban guy said "yes, yes, show me your card first." i pretended to reach into my deep deep bag, tried to fish around for time. and eventually, my wallet. i unzipped my wallet. pretended to look for my card. in actual fact it was literally up my sleeve. i stashed it away there. i eventually had to take it out from my sleeve and pretend i didn't know it was there (how loser is that). they got me to get off the bus. i stood at the pavement with these two asses. no matter how stupid i acted, i got myself my fine. long story.

next up is my kino disaster. i went to kino, all ready and set for inspiration. as you know, i love taking pictures of anything that interests me. i went to my usual section. and flipped through a book. ah! nice image. interesting concept. *snap (with my handphone of course).....
ah! yet another nice image. interesting concept. *snap.... this went on for about 4 more times. then i don't know why i looked up, but i did. infact, i looked up, and to my right. i caught sight of this mysterious stranger, just watching me. no uniform. it's like i felt his gaze upon me. less than twenty seconds later, "m'am i'm from the secret service, i want you to delete every single image you took..." fuck fuck fuck fucck fuuuuuuuuuuuucccccccccccccccccck FARK! the blood just drained from my face and my heart wouldn't stop beating so hard. i thought i was going to get arrested. i played it cool though. i said nothing. i just deleted as told, and said, "there!" then he said "if i catch you taking that out again, out of the store you go." and i said..."sorry??" coz i really didn't understand what he was mumbling about. so he had to repeat himself.

yes. i know. ok. i shouldn't be doing such unscrupulous things. i can only sit here and laugh at myself.
that my friend, is what you call a major
super diao diao diao day.
