further proof that the god of public transport hates me:

decided to pop back hall on monday morning to pick up some notes. walk to potong pasir train station- wow! only need to wait 3 min. reach outram park- train arriving in 1 min. walk towards 179 at interchange, spot bus already there. refuse to run for it, but manage to make it in time anyway. am beaming to myself for finally evading the curse when the bloody bus doors refuse to close. jammed or something. bus driver gets out of vehicle and leaves us standing like idiots inside a driverless bus for almost 20 bloody minutes, wondering whether he went to get help or is sitting snug and cosy in his office sniggering with said god, seeing how long we'd stay in there. in meantime, TWO other 179s leave before us. was exceeding close to raising my hand and admitting to everyone, "yes it's me, sorry for inconveniencing all of you, i'll leave now."
