bus 66

in the morning, i was driving the biglets to kindergarten. we were waiting for the traffic lights to turn green when i saw bus 66 pulling away from the stop ahead of us. seeing the back of the bus instantly brought back fond memories from 2004.

the hotel we used to stay in is just two bus stops away. it's the very same bus we used to ride to go to work. most often than not, we have to run just to catch the bus. otherwise, we'll all be late if we wait for the next one.

one time, just as we were turning from the corner, we saw our bus pulling away. then everyone (imagine ten, if not more, asians) started running and flailing their arms like crazy to call on to the driver. it must have been a sight for these slovaks who are not so used to seeing asians, much more a flock of them. anyways, surprisingly, the driver stopped to let us in.

everyone was scrambling to get in when i suddenly got a phone call. it was matej! turned out he was driving by on his way to work. he saw us and told me he could give me a ride. i was already halfway up the bus but he insisted i stay, so i did. i could still see the look of surprise on my friends' faces when the bus finally pulled away. yes, the open-mouthed kind of look! :))

the car arrived just a few moments before the bus. i didn't have time to explain to anyone but when everyone saw us HHWW to office, everyone understood. i couldn't see them behind me, but i felt like all eyes were on us and could feel the blood rushing to my face. we just started dating back then, and some of my colleagues didn't even know it until then.

i don't know why i suddenly got so nostalgic. could have been the corrs singing, or that hubby is away for a week. but one thing i'm sure about, that was one kilig moment i will not forget. :)
