Record Time

I made it home from camp in record time yesterday. First up - the 154 reached the bus stop at approximately 3:45 pm. Normally this bus, which caters to a lot of students in uniform, stops at almost every stop along Dunearn Road. Not so yesterday, at the time I went back. Whizzing past the bus stops felt quite fun. Except that I had a throbbing headache and spent most of the journey with my head pressed against the window. Not so much enjoyment there.

I reached the bus stop at Trellis Towers. The moment I got off, I saw a 506 reach. I debated for about, well, 2 seconds over whether to wait a while more or just pay an extra dollar for the express bus. I quickly jumped onto the 506 after the brief moment of deliberation. And it was a good decision. It almost never stopped, due to hard-up people who are not like me and didn't want to fork out. So, yeah, I suppose. I even amazed myself when I reached the front of my house after walking back from the bus stop at 4:45 pm. Not bad time, and less standing than the MRT. So chalk one up for the bus.
