today, i went over to lance hse for project.
we had a session over the table. dismissed at 6plus.
i crossed the overhead bridge to the other side of the road
and i boarded bus no.87 to change to another bus no.23
i was on my way to TP.
AND SOMETHING HAPPEN!
In double-decker 23, everyone was seated.
i stood in the back of the bus.
the bus was warm. damn i thought, so hot.
as i hold firmly to the pole, i watched TVMobile.
i realised that people are looking at my direction out of the window
Due to curiousity, i turned to look too.
Its smoking outside. Is there an accident that happen along the road that i miss to see? or isit some irritating motorist with smoking-pipes?
i was wrong. It started to smell of burns in the bus.
everyone was fanning off the burning smell.
it started to get hazy.
a mid-forty uncle jump up from the back of the bus.
fire, fire! smoke followed behind his back as everyone rush to the doors.
the bus stopped at the highway side.
People rushed down the bus as thought the FIRE was spreading.
there is no fire. only smoke.
i can tell you one thing. i was calm. very calm.
as i look at those people, i asked myself, do they think they are going to die?
i was even nearer to the door when people who are sitting further back got down the bus first. it was such a hilarious scene for me.
the bus driver went to the back of the bus and lifted the backdoor.
there is a small fire burning at the back of the engine.
he blew hard enough to extinguish it for a moment.
i am not sure if it continued to burn the next moment.
people started going back to the bus to tap their cards for exit.
HAHA. i followed them too.
we boarded the bus that came along.
people are laughing away in the bus about the smoke.
"Lucky sia! i was so scare just now.. i ran down the bus." one of the 4 working women beside started. " ya lor.. i also think got problem. the air con so hot.. den so smelly.." complain goes on and on..
what an experience.
NOT FEAR.
the sight of kia si singaporeans.
would i grow up to be like one of them?
haix.
