I think my favourite mode of transport has to be the bus.

The long rides at night from the east back to the west with my headphones plugged in are always enjoyable, though the occasional bumps here and there are kinda irritating. Not forgetting those nasty by-right-not-more-than-90-degree turns where the physics of circular motion kicks in. Buses that travel through town or those shophouse areas are actually very interesting, for those of you that have yet to notice it.

The scenes you see at town are not really much different as compared to those you see at the shophouses, but somehow theres a different feel to it. As the bus passes through town, i get to see all those happy faces that people carry around as they just chill around. Glowing lights at ion are reflected throughout the streets, giving people a relaxed mood, though its main purpose is to of course attract people into the mall to buy their insanely expensive stuff. You get to see all the gloomy faces at the bus stops too, most people stare into blank space as they watch all but their buses drive past them one by one, sulking, sianning, well at least they have their ipod touches to keep them company, i mean, seems like everyone is having one nowadays erh? But whats cool is that i cant hear the people's conversations or whatsoever through the panes of the bus, so im actually just looking at human behaviour, in a way.

Actually what can be seen from these streets arent really special, they could even be boring. But somehow, just somehow, it allows me to see all these human emotions, to actually feel how those people are feeling, it seems like im expanding my emotional capacity as I try to understand how the people are feeling ya know.

Maybe you wont really understand a thang im typing here, I think its rather vague too, but i just cant seem to be able to express what im trying to say in this cyberspace. Perhaps you might wanna try it when you're taking a bus, look outside the window and see whats going on ,while you have your mundane bus ride.
