Like what "hamster" had said, its really DESTINY that i am late for 30 minutes. Here's why..I had a 9am exam at Eusoff hall. There are 2 buses i could take, 188 or 189. Its at different bus-stops, so I cant simulateously wait for both buses at the same time. The duration (by right) should be around 30 minutes. My rational (or should i say irrational) thoughts is like this: If i take 188, it is expected to have a jam from clementi fire station, clementi ave 6 and the worst is at AYE. If i take 189, there's a bad jam at exit of PIE (at clement ave 6) and also clementi ave 6. With this in mind, i choose the so-called lesser of the two evils and waited for 189. Big Bad Mistake.
I waited for 15 minutes for the first 189, which arrived at 8.15. It was too packed, so the driver refused to stop. I can wait for another one, which most likely will come at 8.30, or i can take a 3 minute walk to take 188 instead. Too fearful of the AYE jam, i choose to walk down to the previous 189 bus stop, and on the way keep a look-out for taxis (悪循環’s 一番友達)...As expected, no available taxis and the 8.30 189 also refused to stop. Somehow i feel that as long as i can get a cab by 8.40am, I shouldnt be late.
8.40am..TWO (yes, its two) 189 came together. So if i want, i can take it and end up being late at most by 15 mins. But no, i insist on a cab..i want to take whatever little chance i have.. Still no cab.. so i walked (i didnt panic) down to Bukit Batok MRT to wait. Finally got one @ 8.50am.. I should really commend the driver, he really kept to the speed limit of 70km/h. The route that he choose was the 188 route. And guess what, there was only a mild jam @ clementi avenue 6 and AYE. I finally reached school @ 9.30
Thats not the end of the story....
