on my way home from collecting my marked geography assignment, the public bus i took was filled with about 20 young kids of 7-9 years old and their teachers. it made me feel like i was on a schoolbus.

the chatters, pushing and pulling of the children, the teachers screaming their lungs out to maintain order and less noise.. everytime the bus made a turn, i could hear 'aaaahhh's and 'ooooo's. finally the bus-driver stopped in front of the school just for them, and when all of them alighted, the bus was near-empty. and then i could hear the children shouting 'thank you mr.bus-driver'.. and i heard 'aawwww' in my head.

i've never taken the schoolbus to school before, besides for excursions. love taking the bus with friends- like on the chartered bus for a geography school-trip in secondary 2 to malaysia (me, dylan, pamy, shinye and yisan sat at the back-corner of the bus filled with other amksians), or a public bus to pasir ris for our class chalet, etc etc.. just chilling, chatting or playing cards.

and now i keep hearing the song of 'the magic schoolbus' cartoon, where a group of students with their quirky teacher and her pet iguana go on adventures on the multi-purpose yellow bus that changes to a rocket, a submarine, or shrinks, and many others. come on, it's the magic schoolbus..
