Thursday
Right..
So here it goes..
A foreigner lost her way home!
After my piano lesson (2.30), i decided to go home alone without my sister because i haven't taken my lunch yet, and plus the other night, i was puking after eating Sushi Tei. seriously, i think i can't eat japz food in SINGAPORE! ><"
so then, i hopped on bus 55 and went back. i know that i must alight when i see a bridge. but then ... there were so many bridges! so i guessed on one and i pushed the stop button. and i alighted there. and to my despair ... i alighted on HOUGANG AVENUE 3!!! my house is on hougang ave.2. and i saw across me, there was no playground nor houses! i was like, "uh-oh! i think i alighted at the wrong bus stop" ...
okay, you might be wondering why not wait for another bus or don't alight at all.
firstly, i don't wanna wait for another 55! because the frequency is really really bad! i don't wanna wait for 1/2 an hour! and secondly, i alighted because i pressed the button ... and it's EGOooooo PRIDE!!! :)
So then i walked down the streets of hougang. and i came into an intersection with road templates saying: "hougang ave 3" and "tampines". i was so shocked! waaa!!! i'm in the middle of no where!!! and i passed a lane saying "defu lane 10" .... from what i know, defu was like quite a distance from my place. FREAK! i was so lost that i called my friend.
I: i'm lost! where am i?
F: huh? tell me ur location?
I: near me ... there's a mosque across me ... i'm in the intersection of hougang ave 3 and tampines road!
F: oh! it should be near. you can see hougang community center soon.
I: rightt.. okay..
Then I walked down and really saw the community center. but it was like 5 minutes after the intersection. and i walked beside lorong one in one hot sunny day.
Total of walking time: 20 minutes
Total of walking distance: around 5 km
let's not forget to mention --ALONE--
WARNING: bus book should be foreigner's best friend!
