A Mind of My Own

It rained heavily this morning. I was contemplating staying at home to catch up with my beauty sleep but since I’m taking 5 days leave next week for Bali, I had to leave the house regretfully. The rain was still pouring. So, I tried to wait for the bus to bring me to the MRT station. However, 3 buses arrived but not to the MRT station that I wanted to go to. That was after 15 minutes. I was getting late for work.

The bus finally arrived but it was full. The next bus arrived soon after, it was full too! WTH? Why can’t they get more buses during wet days?!

Frustrated, I left the bus stop and tried to flag for a taxi. It was an expensive trip. I still had to get to work, so I boarded it. While we took an alternative route since PIE is always jammed during peak hours, we saw an educated man in his 20s trying to turn left in the middle lane. The reason was he was rushing for something. Work, most likely. The traffic lights were down for that junction and this Champagne Gold Cefiro wanted to change his route. He ended up blocking the whole junction effectively.

Thankfully, my taxi driver was even more effective. He managed to squeeze through the space while Gold Cefiro was stuck with the divider in front. We were on our way to my workplace. It was after a while, Mr Gold Cefiro caught up with us and I managed to capture his license plate. I’m very evil here. He wasn’t the only one rushing to some place. Others were rushing too!

His license plate number is SFG 9**6 G. For someone who looked so educated, he sure was uneducated in the lessons of driving through a clogged junction.
