Bumpy X Draggy: Daily Journey

kicked start with a

doubly, triply hectic schedule

 

the first vacation job experience

which I do not work for

the sake of having some fun

 

this is how my daily routine would go

26 Nov – 10 Dec

before the actual event kicks start

which would be a totally different scene

 

6 am – wake up

7.10 am – go down to catch a bus

7.20 am – the bus would be here

8.00 am – catch the 2nd bus

9.15 am – drop off at the train station

9.30 am – hopping onto the 2nd train at interchange

9.45 am – reaching office in quick-paces

 

6.30 pm – leaving office, quick

reverse the whole routine of daytime all over again

8.30 pm – reaching Carrefour, grab something, anything

9.00 pm – the bus back home

9.20 pm – finally reaching home

 

the bus journey is at least 1 1/4 hour

provided that there is no traffic jam

it’s from one terminal to another, all the way

and if the crowd is huge

then ended up standing throughout the journey

 

standing comes with technique too

keep the swinging to the minimum

and maximum protection of oneself

from pickpockets, and you-know-whatever

 

by the time I am done showering, it’s 10 p.m.

my feet are soring

eyes are painfully tired due to the long-hours

 

5 hours on public transport

I salute myself

 

by the end of the winter break

I think I could have written a

more than 3 pages ethnographic observation of:

 

dumb driver who read in the car and

took so long to respond when the light turned green

phone conversation in bus which is so loud that

I can’t help but eavesdrop

 

eyelids are drooping

I miss my pre-good-night novel-reading

which seems like a luxurious hobby right now

 

keep going!!
