On the bus once again

After a year & a half long hiatus, I'm finally back to taking a bus to & from work.

Almost at the same time when I found out that I was pregnant, Dw got a job that provided him with free parking right smack in Orchard Road. Now that I think back, I'm truly convinced by the phrase, God Will Provide. With free parking thrown in, we jumped on the bandwagon & spoilt ourselves with a car. I get chauffeured to & fro work. We get free parking when I have my gynae appointments at Paragon.

Dw changed job recently. This time just round the corner from me but without season parking thrown in. So, since 1st October, we've had to accustomed ourselves once again to jostling with the office crowd on the bus and bearing the 30min ride to work. I'm quite glad that we're not on the mrt though as I've been through those hideous rides when my nose is pressed on the mrt door or I'm literally body to body with the other commuters.

It's fun being on the bus again, especially when I'm on the double decker bus. I get to oogle at the huge, beautiful houses along Mountbatten Road, Dw & me have more in depth conversations since he need not concentrate on the roads. Just a week and we have more or less seen familiar faces everyday at the bus stop. There's this Spanish family of 3 who is always chasing no. 14 and the other people at the bus stop will need to help them flag down the bus, there's this cute, young ang moh with a pointy chin which looks just like his pointy leather shoes, there's this friendly middle aged Eurasian unlce who greets almost everyone and even struck up a conversation with us.

This also marks my 1st time providing feedback to SBS. I suggested to them that they should add an earlier session to 10E to bring people, like me, who start work at 8.30am, to Shenton Way. The current 1st session which arrives at my bus stop at 8.03am is way too late. Eurasian uncle is pleased, he totally agrees with me. :)

I feel good!
