public service was and is still such a let down

I'm trying to find consolation for my frustration and angst over what happened in the past few days, one of which is the idiotic people in the public bus who at the very mention of them just irks all hell out of me giving that familiar sensation of my hands wrapping round their necks to choke all air out of their throats and watch them suffer as they try to gasp for the last molecule of air.

The people in the public bus deserve a shot in their heads or hearts - whichever kills faster. Public bus is one of the most terrible transportation services I’ve ever encountered. On Saturday night, the bus was late for a whole 1 hour, with me in there, suffering from migraine induced by the lack of oxygen in the train.

They certainly have not been part of the Great Malaysian Experience of waiting endlessly for a non-existent bus to arrive. I was tied to the bus station not wanting to go to empty my bladder or buy an ice cream because every time I do, the bus will mysteriously pops out and chugs off even before I realize it was even there. And if I do, well... I'll have to go through the whole routine of running after it for a while, and then giving up half-way, my face flustered, breathless with everyone looking at me with a deadly stare that says "hey, it was your fault you bought ice cream".

The public service was such a let down. It disappointed me in so many ways. It disappointed me to be Malaysian, to be part of this country aiming to achieve such an elusive Vision 2020.

BUCK UP! BRUSH UP!

And if you don't yet understand that - I can only pray in earnest hope you will long enough with that sort of stupidity.
