to put it on perspective


my friends and i went to malacca last sunday and it was definitely one memorable holiday; not because of the yummilicious chicken rice ball, not the picturesque historical places and not even the cheap items you can get :) it's probably because some of us missed the bus going back to singapore :p

so the story went that it was an hour before the time the bus schedule and the first batch of group caught a cab (the terminal is just a 20 minutes ride or less), there were 8 of us so we had to take 2 cabs. but somehow after waiting for a while we couldn't see any cabs (are they breaking fast? maybe) so after asking the public bus driver, we hopped on the bus. the twist is that the bus went to one big round to residential places pretty far off the city only after that made a loop and went to the bus terminal! so to the cut the story short, we wasted 30 minutes and in the end missed the bus home to singapore.

the interesting part was that none of us really panicked that much, in fact we DID enjoy the "city tour". you know that's quite an improvement for ME, i would've freaked out in normal situation but on that day i realized that being calm and just enjoying the ride is the best option. interesting don't you think? maybe that's how i should view life in general; just do my best and look at the bright side of life, not forgetting to enjoy the "ride". the most important thing is probably just trying our best and if things don't turn out our way then wait for a chance to strike with all your might. this will definitely need time practicing and getting used too though :p

in the end we luckily *notice i use the word "luckily" :)* managed to get the last bus to singapore an hour later than the original schedule.

as i was sitting in the bus looking at the drizzle i smiled- it was a good day indeed.
