gReyhOuNd eXperIeNCe
seriously, it was not a very memorable one. in fact, it sux. imagine waiting for a bus for 4 hrs. total waste of time. *zzz..
everything juz went wrong yesterday. forgot my calculator for my lab exam. had to dash all the way back to my room and to campus again. was panting and sweating like mad when i entered. not a very good condition to take the exams right? during which, my instructor has almost finished giving the instructions le. *haiz..
wanted to catch the 1245 greyhound bus. so i had to take the 1056 via bus to downtown. but who was to know that via would change their bus schedules at the last minute?! had to wait for another half hour like a dumb fool. when the bus came, i asked and the bus driver said it was going downtown. but, he lied! and i wasted another 1 hr bcoz of his stupid error.
you see. 94 is a loop service. so no matter what he said he would still be correct. what i meant is if it is on the route to downtown, rather than going in a loop before heading there. on normal days, i wouldn't mind. but there had to be a gigantic traffic jam at fiesta texas (one of the stops in the loop route). i guess it was the first day of their opening yesterday and there was a massive jam that took us 1 hour juz to get out of it. by the time we were on our way, i had missed my greyhound bus le. *pissed..
had to take the next bus at 420. i hate to say this, but san antonio's downtown area is pathetic. there are hardly any attractions except the alamo and RIVERrrr..Walk? (as adrian would say it) *lol.. i oso realised how hard it is to find food there. imagine ploughing through streets to find restaurants (that were either closed or too expensive). *zzz.. eventually i juz decided to grab a packet of chocolate chip cookies and minute maid lemonade from walgreens. afterall, chocolate dooes induces serotonin which can probably make me feel better. by the way, that was my lunch.
headed back to the station and waited for another 2 hrs. when it was time, they told us the bus was delayed for 45min (but it ended uo being mroe than an hour!) *zzz.. i was already damn xianz le. juz wanted to quickly hop on this god-damn bus and be on my way to houston. on the way there, i seriously tot bout getting a car bcoz it would save me a lot of a hassle and time. but we'll see how things go.
reached the station at 2105 (when i could have reacheed here at 1630) and my uncle howe yong was there waiting le (much to my relief). had hor fun for dinner cooked specially by my aunt jac. it tasted great! this definately amde me felt a whole lot better. i guess i'll prob cheer up the next few days. afterall it's spring break ain't it? *smilez..
