<搭车狂想曲> Commuter Rhapsody

Singapore has many different types of transport. Buses form the most basic and important

part of public transport, offering cheap and convenient travel. Being part of the mass

commuters group, taking a bus with some other unknown commuters can be "PRETTY"

exciting.

(这里要叙述一个乘客的狂想曲)

Here is a Rhapsody of a commuter, Kiong. Like many normal paid worker, Kiong can’t

afford to buy a car in a highly rated cost system here in Singapore. Thus, he will have to

become a commuter under the so called "fast and convenient" mass travel system.

Everyday, he travels to and fro work by bus. This is when his rhapsody (狂想曲)

begins.

******************************************************************

Kiong is in a bus stop where there are other three commuters awaiting for their right

Bus. Two of them are sitting on the left and right seats respectively. The other guy is

standing leaning on the seating pole not far away, with his cigarette on. Kiong is standing

in the center in the bus stop and he keeps looking at his watch, he thugs his feet on the

ground, feeling pretty frustrate that no bus has come for the past twenty minutes.

Soon, at some distance, he sees a bus approaching, he thinks this shall be his bus, and he

prepares to walk towards the boarding point. Soon two of the seated guys too stand

up and approach Kiong, leaving only the cool guy who is still with his cigarette.

The bus which is at least some fifty or more meters away is stopped by the red light.

Kiong sees the guys approaching him and each stands beside his left and right side,

forcing him to be in the center. He isn’t pretty happy as he thinks he shall be the first in

this queue.

He looks at his left, the guy who is now standing first is not aware of himself being

watched, and then he turns to his right, the other guy on the other hand, is also considered

first in this queue.

He has a feeling that the three of them are in the midst of a race. Three of them all in line,

awaiting the final whistle. Kiong turns to look at his opponents, and they looks serious.

On the mark, get set. All three in ready position, awaiting to run off.

Red light turns green. The cool guy step forward, tickle his cigarette bug onto a dustbin.

The cigarette butt falls outside the dustbin, onto the ground, resulting in producing very

little orange "spark" . Bus put off some smoky carbon monoxide and keeps on moving

towards the bus stop. Kiong and the three guys are in ready position to board the long

waiting bus, to their long designated destinations.
