Happiness is a state of mind. Like all other things, it needs practice. Devote 5 minutes a day to smiling. And after a while, it will come naturally.
I heard that phrase from "Love Happens" when I watched it in the bus and I liked it. I like everything that can keep me optimistic nowadays.
Talk about BUS.
Did you guys read the news on the horror crash on North South expressway on Sunday night?

I am on the bus behind it. I left KL at 6pm.
Which means, by 7pm, I'm stuck somewhere along Alor Gajah when the accident happens. There was massive jam and the highway became a huge car park. All the drivers just parked and walked down to the accident scene and help things out because it's just in front of us. I didn't go down though. There were SO MANY ambulances rushing there and police cars. I was thinking must be quite a serious accident considering I've counted almost 10 ambulance passed by. Turns out 12 died and 47 injured or something like that.
I was thinking, dammit, why am I so unlucky AGAIN. If you read my blog, you should know all my infamous bad lucks blah blah blah blah coz I talked about them so often.
THEN I realized. FUCK what am I saying? WHO bad luck? Me or those people in the bus that crashed? I'm fucking lucky I'm at the bus behind it so why am I the whining bitch about how unlucky I am?
That's how it is. U know? I'm on the road so often. Almost every weekend previously and now once every 2 weeks. The chances that my bus crash is higher than u think. It's scary. When I read all these bus crashes, I'm just thanking God it's not my bus.
It's not fucking thanksgiving yet but I'm just thankful I'm alive.
Ended up my 6pm bus took 9 hours to reach Singapore. I reached Harbourfront centre at 3+am and called for a cab which didn't come after half an hour so I'm left alone stranded there with no one else around. Luckily that's Singapore and not KL. If it's in KL i should be dead by now. I managed to hail one and got home at 3.30am with a cab fare of SGD20.20.
It is a fucking long ride. I only slept for 2 hours and got back up at 7am for work until 6pm sharp. Talk about dedication.

I think you should stop taking the bus. Plane/Train is safer.
Yeah. I used to fear for my life everytime I took the PG<->IPOH bus and now I fear for my hubby's life everytime he takes the PG<->MLK bus...
Problem is, these things keep happening and happening and yet the gov is still doing NOTHING about it! We need a bus system overhaul man...
Life is so unpredictable...
holy crap u were coming back to SG on THAT night? my fren in msia purposely called me to let me know about the crash and commented i was lucky i didn't extend my stay in msia after coming back from canada... (which he suggested in the first place lol)...
And just to comment, doesn't matter if u take bus, plane, train or car... if you're meant to go, you're meant to go... there isn't really a "safer" mode of transport.
Candy: Can only afford bus =( Plane's total cost I can take bus 3 times.
XiaoWei: PG<->Ipoh i think is worse because of the hill winding roads which are terrible! Our gov is not going anything for everything that's happening *yawn* pls stay in korea don't come back it'll do u some good.
Joe: yah damn crap right I am right behind that bus but luckily i took aeroline this time so atleast can pee in the bus! haha. that's my only concern. that's true. but i think plane death rate lower kua.
