On Monday We Got Stuck!21 Jan
Yes that’s right, we got stuck!
We got stuck in the middle of the expressway! Yes the expressway!
But it’s damn exciting!
We were on the way back from IKEA Tampines and boarded a bus to Woodlands Interchange. Halfway through the journey what seems to happen only to unlucky people happened to us! The bus was literally crawling its way down the expressway before it decided to die on us.
The heroic bus captain tried a few things to revived his dying vessel but to no avail. He even off the engine (which left us all in the dark in the middle of the expressway!) and turn it on again but still no sign of life.
So by virtue of the incredibly efficient transportation system that we have and which we have taken for granted at least once or twice before, another gentle giant (mind you, it was a double-decker bus) rumbled down beside his dying friend to our rescue. And all these happen within 10mins! Fast huh?! (This was possible to the efficient mayday call by the captain, which was audible all the way up the second deck where we were seated at.)
OK enough fairytale; lets get take the pictures do the talking! 
The bus in a halt. Notice the other vehicle whizzing by?
Yes, we were on the front seats too. Hee.
Passengers transferring to the rescue bus.
Now its our turn!
So the morale of the story is (Tan Ah Teck style – If you don’t know who this is ask someone older to enlighten you) good or bad luck is how you perceived it. We were definitely the only 2 excited ones on the bus (hence, the picture taking)! In fact, we were rushing to catch the last train, but that didn’t cloud our judgment. So whether something is good or bad, it is subjective. And most time you can find good things in bad situations! (I’m seeing you nodding your head. Good Job!) :]
Oh! We got our bus fee waived plus a complimentary ticket for future bus ride too! Now isn’t that lucky!
Cheers~
-Mudd-
P.S. And if you are wondering what we were doing at IKEA, you just have to wait for the pictures on Monday!
P.P.S. And yes, we managed to catch the last train. :]
