Auntie Bus Conductor

Before i start bitching on this auntie that i met on the bus, i need to thank lilian for giving me her support by reading my blog. haha... Excited rite? cos i mentioned your name on the internet. (as if she won some big sweep or something) This is the place where i will air all my whatever good or bad or terrible or cannot make it views. ha... Anyway, back to that auntie, i was on my way to meet lijun when this lady in white suddenly came over and ask for my easylink card. I took a glimpse at her and she smiled at me. After inspecting my card, she sat in front of me. Then, this old man came over and sit beside her.

Conversation
Old man: why are you checking on our card when everyone needs to scan their card before they are allowed on the bus?
Aunite conductor: Oh, my company's policy and i have to abide by it.(very singaporean answer) This is my job.
Old man: I dun think you need to cos i dun see any point. Waste of time.
Auntie conductor(after a short pause): uncle, i am not against you or anything. We conduct check not to make you feel paiseh or watever, but we want to ensure that our bus driver drives safely and carefully on the road. They have a schedule to follow, we need to make sure that they follow according to the schedule as planned. We also need to ensure that they drive safely on the road by not beating red lights or speed. It is for the safety of everyone.

The uncle keeps quiet and seems to understand the problem. Before the old man alights, the auntie conductor reiterated that the bus company is not against any passengers. I find this aunite very reasonable and patient to the passengers. I must really commend on her attitute. It is a saturday and she still have to conduct checks. ha. quite poor thing also. If everyone behaves like her , the world is more friendly and approachable.

However, since she was an auntie, she chat wif me all of a sudden when she saw something on TV mobile. She aired her views on China-Taiwan relation, then Bush administration. I was impressed by her. Dun belittle these pple cos they know lots of things than us. She is so knowledgeable. ha... I din make any comments but behave like a copycat and agree to watever she said. Cos i feel that wat she said is reasonable and everyone deserve a chance to speak off their mind. So i listened and echoed her comments. ha... like a parrot too. Nice auntie and maybe if you are on bus 93, u might get to catch her ard!!!!
