Cookie!

The start of today wasn't that good. This morning, as I sat down right at the back on board bus 52 on the right side, headed for school, I heard something irritating. There was an irritating soung resonating around the back of the bus. Someone was playing Chinese techno. And not normal Chinese techno. Chinese love songs and slow songs remixed into techno, with "cute (the Ah Lian definition)" sounds here and there, plus the fast paced beat and bastardization of the song with weird words like "Hoo!", "Hah!", "La la la", etc., by God knows who. There were 4 suspects. 3 people on my left and one person 2 seats in front of me. Within 2 minutes of boarding the bus I narrowed it down to a fat Chinese girl seated one row from the back. She was blasting her MP3 player on the loudest volume setting It was unlucky because immediately after the bus left the stop before Thomson Plaza, I saw a jam ahead. And the moment I saw it I wished, "Please let her get off soon!". Unfortunately, she didn't get off. So I tried reading my book, all the while wishing that by Lornie Road, the jam would ease off.

But, by Lornie Road, not only had everyone vacated the seats around her, but the jam was worse there. Someone then went to ask her to turn down the volume. To everyone's surprised, not only did she ignore that reasonable request, but she TURNED UP THE VOLUME! Oh my God... I thought that she was already on the loudest setting. But the bloody bitch was saving the worst for last. I had to resort to using tissue paper to create makeshift earplugs, and jammed my ears with them, which helped ease the headache listening Chinese techno causes a little. Traffic on the PIE was also slow moving. All in all, I took about slightly more than an hour to reach school, with a bloody headache. Damn earplugs didn't work that well in blocking out the noise. I hope that doesn't happen again when I'm on my way to school tomorrow. Worse still, on my way home from work, some damn Bengs sat next to me on board the 132 from Orchard Road, and started to play techno. It was irritating. When reaching near my stop, I considered taking on the whole group and then run off the bus. But seeing how crowded it was, I didn't. I don't want to injure innocent people. And I hate them damn Bengs, Lians and Mats who like to play loud music on public transports. It's really irritating. Fuck them. Bastards.
