yesterday evening i was at queenstown waiting for my bus which took an enternity to arrive. i was standing alone outside the bus stop when suddenly a car drove into the edge of the bus bay and jerked to a halt right in front of me. strange since there weren't any buses in front, and a bus behind was forced to jam on its brakes.

"wtf? idiot," i thought. then a skinny old man around 60 years old alighted from the opposite side of the car whom i assumed was a passenger who wanted to drop off. but this 'passenger' started gesticulating towards the bus driver, and then went beside his window and started shouting and banging on it, challenging him to come out.

it was then that i realised that this guy was the driver of the car. the bus driver, a young chinaman, merely sat still and smiled at him in incredulity. after a minute of this, the driver opened the front door and people from the bus stop came forward to enter. the man then walked into the bus and continued shouting at the driver.

before i knew it, an entire drove of people rushed forward and gathered in front of the door to gawk at the unfolding drama, and some passengers on the bus whipped out their phones to film the excitement. one guy even got off the bus to film the car driver's face and vehicle number.

this was rather amusing because it was the first time in my life that i've actually seen the much talked-about Kaypoh Singaporean in action. normally they'll be like me, watching from their original positions, but this time they freaking rushed up to watch this free show. i just stood there and smiled a little at the absurdity of the entire scene.

anyway before long, the bus driver too got agitated and began shouting back at the man. blah blah, the dispute was about the bus doing something that nearly caused an accident and the car guy was unhappy. soon, the bus passengers were scolding the man, ordering him to move his car and go away because he was just wasting everyone's time.

in the end the poor man realised that he had no one on his side so he got into his car angrily and drove off. peace restored, show over, the gawkers returned back to their resting place under the bus stop. and my bloody bus was still not here.
