Bus Romance, Anyone?
I am sure what I am going to say here, a lot of people can relate to. Recently, I caught a commercial in TVMobile, (for those who are unfamiliar, it is a TV channel that is exclusively for our public eh… private eh… public transport. Haha!) In this commercial all the scenes took place on a bus. The guy met girl on the same bus everyday. He started taking notice of her. One day saw, she was happily chatting with a male, felt a bit sad. Also one of the days, notice that she did not come up the bus. And finally, they set across each other, well not facing each other but across the aisle, each stole a glance of each other at the most precise timing together. Then the commercial ended with the female and male lead watching a movie together happily sharing the one and only popcorn. (Did they share the drink also?)
I am sure most Singaporeans take public transport to work, or else we would not be complaining every time the bus companies want to raise the bus fares. For young guys like me, most of us would usually meet one or if you are very lucky, two or more beautiful ladies who takes the same bus. (Why I say ‘young guys’ is because, we are always on the look out for beautiful girls. Haha ) Well for me, I would think I am one of the ‘lucky’ few since I have two beautiful ladies who would get up on the same bus as me, usually. But I must say I have no luck with girls as yet. Sigh!
Since Singapore, is trying to match-make as many of us young people as possible to rescue our falling birth rate, maybe SDU can come up with a book “101 Way how to get to know a girl on a bus” Pick-up lines could be “Is the seat beside you taken”, if you get on after her and the bus is extremely crowded. If you notice the girl long enough, you would notice how she chooses her seat so that you can make the seat beside you as ‘attractive’ to her as possible. Such book could sell like hotcakes since taking bus to work is not a phenomenon that exists in Singapore only and most of us have this type of experience. Any takers, or should I say writers?
I guess, unless such a book is written and sold, most of us eligible bachelors would only have be content just to look (no ogling, please) at these beautiful ladies that make our morning and (hopefully the whole day) bright and beautiful. Cheers to that! Thank you, ladies! *Smile*
Note: SDU is actually a (please correct me if I am wrong) government affiliated match making board in Singapore.

Is it a SDU commercial? Reading your last blog, I am starting to think that this commercial is another "lie"!
Well, about your last blog about the "lies", our teachers are not the only people who have lied to us. Did your parents "lie" to you? Then again, who "lied" to our parents in the first place about striving for academic excellence equals a comfortable life then after? The general public of Singapore have been caught off guarded with this change of a truth to a lie. I am a victim too. For me, it does not make sense to study so hard and then landing in a good-paid job but have to work as hard to keep oneself employed; a simple life where one does what he/she likes is a lifestyle the non-materialistic people hope for. Sometimes I wonder if all the hard work is worth it. The politicians all stress for Singaporeans to strive harder. Maybe they are leaders with greater compabilities than the comman man, but have it ever crossed their mind that most of us are so tired with this ending race? National Day is coming. Singapore has shown to the world its amazing development. But are we truly a happy nation?
Hi anonymous, no it is not a SDU commercial. It was a commercial abt a short movie that was created by one of the polytechnic here in Singapore. If my memory did not start failing me it should be Singapore or Temasek Poly.
As u will read in my next blog. Financial Literacy would be very important in keeping your working life to the minimum.
I cannot imagine my life spending more than 40 years working and slogging(if I am lucky, haha!)Everyday is the same old routine. Sucks! I want my hard work to payoff, not keeping me in the same old cycle.
And there are many beautiful things the world has to offer, and I cannot wait to go and enjoy them, beautiful sceneries, different cultures. Should life be all about working at all?
I agree that we have great leaders in our government, with the amazing development to show for. All people are different, I hope this nation would be one where if one desire success, in his own definition, he would be able to achieve.
Happy Birthday, Singapore!!
Cheers!
