I was on the bus to Selina and Jack's shop after school (they decided to move there recently), when I encountered something quite unpleasant. The bus was very crowded and I was sitting right at the back. When my stop was coming up, another man was also squeezing towards the front from the back so I followed behind him. About one quarter of the way there, I sort of slowed down cos it was getting quite congested and this girl became buay song about that for no apparent reason. She said, 'Are you moving to the front?' and I didn't really hear her properly cos I was concentrating more on trying to move through the people. So I said, 'Sorry?' That was when she became super 'attitude'. She said 'If you're moving to the front do it quick then' or something like that, and pushed past me towards the back of the bus lor. It was definitely on purpose that she bumped into my shoulder and bag. She can't have been much older than me, in fact she looked younger. I really don't see why she was in such a big hurry to move towards the back. There were only two empty seats, vacated by me and the other person, and anyway the other passengers closer to them would have gotten the seats lor. I was quite shocked and pissed but kept moving towards the front cos my stop was right up. I really don't want to sound racist or anything... but what went through my head at that time was ok, I'm a Chinese la, so? So you can bully me cos the whole bus was filled with blacks to back you up? How'd you feel if a white did that to you lor?

Sighs. I missed my stop in the end. Cos even though the 'bus stopping' sign was lighted up, I was stuck somewhere with about one third of the way left to the door. Although the driver stopped, no number of 'excuse me's convinced the people in front of me to move. Especially the man who had been squeezing through before me. I dunno why he had to squeeze through if he wasn't getting down at this stop, maybe he was just being kiasu and wanted to make sure he'd get to the door by his stop. But I just don't understand why he didn't budge no matter how many times I said 'excuse me'. The people around me all heard lor, they were looking at me to see what I would do. But he just refused to move, and the bus driver decided to move on. So a lady behind me started pushing against me cos she was going to get down the next stop. Duh, I want to get down also! But the man just stood there. Argh. It was so frustrating. And then, when we reached the stop, he got down. Diao. Fine. Then tell me that you were going to get down at the next stop and let me squeeze past or something?? Make me walk in the cold somewhere I'm not familiar with... sigh. But it was not too bad, I sort of retraced the bus route back to the stop I meant to get down.
