Hmmm...
Just felt that I should post this interesting thing that happened to me.
In case you guys didn't know.
The female character inside my new story Bus.Stop. actually does exist in real life.
She take sthe same bus as me when i go to work every morning.
And she really mumbles and smiles to herself.
I don't she's crazy though.Maybe she is tinking of something.
Well anyway.
Went shopping for a friend's birthday present at Centrepoint's Robinson today.
And guess what.
I met Miss Longhairmumbler at the women's dept.
I could hardly believe my eyes at first.
How small can the world be.
She was..pretty as always..and today she was earing a purple cardinal which really suited her..
And I think she was looking at some blouses on sale..
Funny thing was.
When I asked my friend's opinion of her.
He told me I had absolutely no taste..
And should go look at a girl in a black t shirt beside instead.
.........
Guess beauty really is in the eye of the beholder.
Anywayz.That's all for this post.
Still working on Part 2.
So give me some time.
So I can make it a real good continuation.
Ok.Enough said.
Till Part 2.
Adios.
Thursday, May 20, 2004
Ok guys.
After so long.
I've finally finished my new story.Part 1 that is.
Sorry for all the waiting.But gurantee you this story is definitely worth it.
As for Sheena's Part 4.
We can only continue to wait.
And hope.
Haha.Just joking.
Anyway.Let's not waste anymore time.
Here's Bus.Stop.
Enjoy.
Bus.Stop.(Part 1)
'Oh God please....Let me be on time'.
I thought to myself as I ran for the bus stop ahead of me,which seemed so near, yet so far.
So near. Because it was barely 100m away.
So far.BECAUSE THE DAMN BUS WAS ALREADY THERE.AND WAS ABOUT TO LEAVE!
Cursing and swearing.I began sprinting for the bus stop,frantically waving my hand all the while in a last feeble attempt to flag down the bus,which was already beginning to move off.
Just when I thought that all was lost and was about to give up flagging and chasing the bus though.
A miracle happened.
The bus stopped.And it's doors opened.
I couldn't believe it.The bus driver actually waited for me.
Feeling grateful and relieved. I thanked the driver repeatedly when I boarded the bus,who said nothing but simply gave me a slight smile.
'At last....I can rest now.'I thought as I slumped onto one of the empty seats, completely exhausted and drained from the earlier exertion.
Yet. I knew it was all worth it.
Or rather.She was definitely worth all of it.
And at the thought of seeing her again later,a smile began to spread across my face."Today's gonna be a good day dude."I thought to myself happily,even though I knew that my boss was not the kind of person that would give her employee a wonderful day.
But right now.Who cares?
Glancing at the time,and taking a look at the surroundings.I realised everything was on schedule.
Perfect.I made it just on time.
8.47am.
The 7th bus stop.
That's when and where she boards the same bus as me.
Every morning without fail.
And taking anothor look at the fast approaching bus stop in the distance.I knew for sure that I was on time.
That tall figure.The long hair.
It's definitely her.
And then for no reason at all,I suddenly became very self conscious,checking my hair and clothing using the reflection on the bus window pane.My heart began racing and I started feeling flustered and hot,almost embarassed I may even say.
'Oh God.Why am I behaving like such a wuss?It's only a girl for crying out loud!Come on Kevin.You're a man!What's there to be embarassed about?If people does smile at you just smile right back!'
Yet.Even as my mind told myself all that,seeing her figure in the distance getting closer,I only became more unerved,making my heart race faster still.
'........What the heck?I got more nervous than ever!Argh....Now what?!?'
Thus,it was in the midst of all my worrying that the bus eventuallyarrived at her stop.
And she boarded the bus.
As she did so.
Time seemed to slow down.
Maybe even coming to a complete standstill..
For me that is.
The surroundings began moving in slow motion.
And everything else suddenly became blur and insignificant.
Except her.
I was definitely no stranger to this feeling however.
Because.
Ever since the first time I saw her.
I have felt the exact same thing.
Each and everytime.
At first, I was quite puzzled as to why I felt like that everytime I saw her.
Soon,the reason became pretty obvious though.
I was deeply attracted by this girl.
This girl whom,even though I see her almost everyday,still hardly know at all.
This girl, whom wearing a white long sleeved blouse with matching black long pants,looked exactly like a typical primary school teacher.
A really sweet looking primary school teacher.
One that would probably have been the idol of most primary school boys.
And although she was wearing glasses today,they only made her look prettier by drawing one's attention to those large,beautiful eyes of hers, which seem to be filled with expression and full of life all the time.
Despite the fact that it was only about 9 in the morning and most people on the bus were barely able to keep their eyes open.
Which definitely included me.
But for obvious reasons.I definitely couldn't be more awake now.
Even though the bus seemed to be taking forever to move off today.
For reasons beyond my comprehension.
There always seem to be an endless stream of people boarding this bus at this bus stop at this time.
Particularly today.There seem to be even more people than usual.
I guess the reason is probably because this bus stop is surrounded by HDB Blocks from literally every direction.
And since this bus is heading to town.I think that sums it up.
Anyway.The bus always gets packed like a can of sardines eventually .Which is why being the first few to have boarded the bus today,she gradually gets pushed towards the back of the bus.
Where I was sitting.
Again.That same time stopping feeling.
And who can blame me.
All this while.I have always sat at the back of the bus.
And since she had always been the last few passengers to board the bus at this stop.
She obviously ended up at the front of the bus most of the time.
Far away from where I was sitting.
But today was different.
It just so happened that there was an empty seat beside me.
Could it be..
Could it be that she was gonna take the empty seat beside me?
Does it..
Does it mean that I am FINALLY gonna get the chance to sit next to her?
The thought of it alone begun driving me nuts.
And all the while.She was walking closer and closer towards my seat.
"NOW WHAT?THIS KINDA SITUATION HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE!?!"
My mind was literally screaming by now.
Now she was barely 5 steps away from my seat.
4..
Getting closer..
3..
And closer..
2-
"EXCUSE ME!"
An uncle probably around 40 years of age suddenly calls out.
Rudely pushing his way through,knocking past her without noticing and then plonking himself onto the seat next to me.
It all seemed to have happened in a flash.
And my feelings were kinda like.
"Phew...."yet...."What the hell?"
Absolutely mixed feelings.
Relieved that I need not have to be stressed out sitting beside her anymore.
Yet.A bit disappointed and angry that the old man intervened.
Well.I guess I am fated to look at her only from a distance.
Looking at her now.
She obviously wasn't very pleased with the "Oyagi's" attitude and actions.
Shaking her head in disapproval,that pretty face of hers creased up a little as she displayed a frown of displeasure for a moment.
Which still looked cute to me anyway.
Anyway.I kinda got a bit angry together with her.Stupid old man.
Even if he had wanted the seat.He could at least have gotten it in a more polite way.
But then at the very next moment.Almost immediately in fact.
As if the incident had never happened.
She recovered to being her former self.
Her large beautiful eyes behind those glasses again full of expression,displaying that liveliness once more.
At the same time regaining her usual pretty,sweet and peaceful looking face.
And then.As if talking to someone invisible.She mumbled something intelligible and then smiled slightly to herself.
Haha.
Just like her usual self.
Mumbling a little and then smiling.
Ladies And Gentlemen.
Our very own Miss LonghairMumbler.
That was the nickname I gave her.
In fact.That was what got me curious about her and made me take notice of her in the first place.
But despite having this weird habit.Which acutally makes her cuter in my eyes.
What can I say about this girl.
How can I describe her?
She..
She is just so...
So....
Perfect.
And then she yawned.
Of course.She didn't do one of those "Lion After-meal With Jaws Wide Open" yawns like us guys normally would.
But she obviously still felt embarassed at not covering her mouth while doing so because almost immediately.
She covered up her mouth in a hurry and fervently said an "excuse me".Looking around and checking whether anyone noticed her yawning.
'Haha.So cute.Anyway.Looks like someone didn't get enough sleep last night and woke up late just like me.'
I chuckled silently,suddenly realising why she wore glasses today.
Probably didn't have time to put on her contact lenses.
........
Didn't even have time to dry and comb her hair
I observed,realising that her long and naturally straight tresses were still wet and not tied up behind like usual.
But were instead covering a side of her face in a side parting.
Yet surprisingly complimented her already sweet looking face.
'Ah.She really looks exeptionally beautiful today.'
And with that I left my mind blank and for the next few moments just gazed at her.
All this while.She had been standing slanted with her back faced against me.
Which was why I could look at her without or getting noticed or caught by her.
But then looking back again.
Even if she were to catch me.It wouldn't be the first time.
The last time.I was lucky enough to have gotten away with surprisingly,a smile from her.Probably politeness on her part.
Anyway.I obviously turned away the very moment she caught me and smiled.
So embarassing to get caught looking at someone.BY THAT SOMEONE.
I wonder what would happen if she were to find me looking at her again.
Especially since this wasn't exactly a good day for her.
Better don't push my luck.
Looking around.I suddenly realized that the bus was almost exiting the highway.Which meant that....
'Already?'I thought disappointingly.
She was gonna alight soon.
Once the bus leaves the highway.
The next stop would be the MRT station.
Where she would alight along with the other passengers.
Feeling sad that she was gonna alight so soon.
I decided to take one more look at her.
Afterall.It would be 24 hours more before I would get to see her again.
Turning back in the direction where she stood.
I was surprised and stunned to see not her back facing me but....
Her eyes looking right back at me.
For a moment.
I panicked and wanted to continue turning my head so as to avoid her gaze.
Making it seem only like an inconspicuous and innocent sweeping glance.
Yet surprisingly.
I did not do that.
In fact.Not turning my head even an inch.
I simply looked straight back at her.
With a certain intensity and determination.
In fact.Even managing to give a nod and a slight smile in the process.
Haha.
Probably till the day I die.
I would still never understand why I chose to do that at that very moment.
Momentary insanity I guess.
But putting all that aside.I was very glad I did what I did.
Because at the very next moment.
Something wonderful happened.
She broke into a smile.
Even giving a slight nod in return.
........
I was so happy.
She smiled at me.
She smiled at me again!
For the second time.
And this time.I know it isn't just politeness on her part
Her returing nod meant that she has acknowledged my smile of friendship.
Meaning that I have a chance of getting to know her as a friend now!
Thank you God.Thank you for helping.
Never been more helpful.
Now if only I was brave enough to go up to her and speak to her.
Then I would definitely have a shot at-
"LOOK OUT!THE ROAD AHEAD IS COLLAPSING!OH MY GOD!"
The scream pierced through the air like a bullet.
Rudely slapping me awake from my happy and wonderful thoughts.
And waking up most of the sleeping passengers.
Yet.It had come a second too late.
As the sound of screeching tires and screams began filling the air.
I had a horrible vision of the road in front of us turning into a gigantic beast.
And opening it's huge mouth.It began swallowing everything in its path.
Cars.Motorcycles and the entire bus.With us all in it.
Into an absolute and bottomless darkness.
As the senstsaion of free fall began to take over.
I desperately looked towards the direction where she was standing.
Hoping that she had somehow managed to escape in that split second.
Even though knowing all along that it was only naive thinking on my part.
And seeing her cling onto one of the hand rails with dear life and screaming in absolute terror.
I uttered a silent prayer.
"God.Just a little more help today.A little more."
WIth that I jumped in the direction where she was and miraculously,managed to grab her hand.
Then.Looking at her startled and terrified face which were covered in tears,I only managed to say.
"Don't worry.We're gonna make it."
Before I felt an unbearable pain sear through my entire body.
And darkness greeted me.
