.which type.

how many types of bus drivers are there on earth? those who ignored me and drove past the bus stop despite me flagging for the bus pissed me off the most. were they blind or what?? i can understand if the bus was about to brust and throw passengers out from the entrance, exit and even the windows. (maybe we will be able to spot the next superman or wonderwoman among those flying people. haha... what's new? the lame karen) besides these 'blind' bus drivers, there are bus drivers with lousy attitude. i cannot believe that they are not fired by the company yet. how are they supposed to serve the public when they treat the passengers like dirt and give us the black face when we board the bus? hey! you choose to work in the service sector and so please do your job with pride. even if we forgot to tag our ez link cards, i do NOT see why you have to shout at the top of your lungs to get us to do so. you do NOT have to embarrass us in front of the public. (does that ring a bell?) it makes it a frustrating and unpleasant trip for both parties. although some passengers want to get a free ride, it does not mean that all passengers who do not tag their card do that on purpose. some can be due to pure forgetfulness. do not sterotype people!

on the other extreme end, there are those super extremely nice bus drivers. i actually met one who greeted every single passenger when we board the bus. obviously, it was during the non-peak hour. even if he did not greet me "good morning" or " good afternoon", a simple smile and acknowlegement would do the same. it makes the passengers feel welcomed and it will definitely make the passengers' day. =)

fortunately for me, i met a nice bus driver today. as the bus was approaching a bus stop, a young man and middle-aged man starting running to the bus stop. i could feel the bus was slowing down. in fact, the bus driver was trying his best to drive at almost the same as the running men. this little action may seem insignificant but it means a lot to the middle-aged and young men. at least society still cares for the people around us. =)

talking so much about the different type of bus drivers in spore, what type of person am i? my secondary school organised a talk on choosing our future career prospects based on our personality when i was in upper secondary. at that time, it was the best indicator of my personality. there are 4 different types of character. the first one is C which is very careful, calculative, does a lot of planning and concerned with details. D is the dominating type who is seen as potential leaders. I is always the source of laughter among the friends, happy-go-lucky type. and the last character is S who values relationships, less decisive and more emotional. which type do you think you are. i belong to the C and D group. what shocked me most was my private self and public self were the direct opposite of each other. people see me as the S and I group but the true me belongs to the C and D group. omg!

who is the true karen? i always think i am a very difficult person to understand and i still believe in that. very few people actually knows me inside out, left to right, up to down. most people have this mentality that i am the pampered and spoilt brat because i am the youngest child in the family. well, i do not think they are right. my age gap between me and my elder siblings are huge. my sis is older than me by 10 and my brother is older than me by 13. omg!!! maybe that's why i would rather depend on myself than others. i will not choose to run to my siblings whenever i meet with a problem because i do not want to bother them with my life. come on, i am 18. i believe i am matured and sensible enough to handle my own problems. furthermore, they have their own lives to live. they are already adults and i am sure they have more problematic questions than mine to solve.

i do not express my feelings very well. maybe i am being sensitive to the people around me. some may give me the are-you-sure look when they read this because i always 'niao' my friends. yes yes... i know it's bad and unhealthy but i choose my 'niao-ing' partners wisely. i will only do that if i know that friend does not mind. you do not see me doing that to all my friends right? (i hope to hear a YES)

hmm.. what else? i cannot think of anything now. what do you know about karen? post it!
