Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust...

Far arc kit! This was the name of a Singapore guild in WoW that was forced to change it's guild name. This was also what i was thinking mentally. Why? I was waiting for a bus home after slogging my guts out during the school holidays when happy little airheads take a break from doing nothing in school.

I was vexed, why is it that 3 sets of bus number 28, 8, and 18 have passed and I don't see a single bus number 3 or 17? I knew it, SBS hates me. SBS hates people who stay in Pasir Ris. SBS hates hardworking teachers above everyone else. I knew it.

I resorted to filling the wallet of a poor Indian driver with a princely sum of $8.65. A trip from Tampines to Pasir Ris costing $8.65! Thank you Mr. Minister! It's just peanut shavings to you, not even peanuts!

Yadda yadda hanla hanla... complain complain... As I pass by Loyang Avenue on my expensive ride, I saw the reason behind the stoppage of bus. I didn't understand why it was necessary to halt all bus flow from Bedok and Tampines to Pasir Ris when it is the road from Pasir Ris that is blocked. Don't SBS have backup buses for re-routing? Anyhow, the scholars are way too good to listen to rants and raves of common little people like me.

Seriously, what is the point of ranting? I should be thankful that I am alive! Why? I could have been the poor driver who was killed in the accident! Driving home, driving safely... Bing Bang Boom! An errant lorry driving swerves thinking he is Takumi from Initial D, swipes another lorry, which proceeds to roll on top of the car in front, crushing the poor man.

Seriously, Far Arc Kit you stupid lorry drivers. Is that meagre few seconds or minutes you save by driving reckless worth that man's life.

Hmmmm...I saw that too. I heard it was a lady. Was wondering how come the vehicles could move fast enough to cause loss of life coz that road is usually congested and traffic is usually crawling. So it was because the lorry crushed the car.....so sad... and they were all gawking at the body.

Btw.....who are these 'airheads' supposed to be????? Huh?
