I want to come home from tampines. I take a bus 10 from somewhere near the interchange. I don’t remember where exactly I take it, but I wake up on the bus as it aproaches the Summit- which is where the bus would’ve come from if I had taken it from the opposite direction, say from Katong. It was much, much faster than it should’ve been.<\/p>\n
For some reason or another, I got off the bus wearing only my underwear- and in fact I think it was briefs rather than boxers, which I haven’t worn in years. I carried all my clothes in a bundle in my arms. I can’t remember what I was wearing. It might have been my JC uniform. I didn’t tap my EZ link card on the way out because my wallet was in my pants pocket. I went home. Barefoot. In my underwear.<\/p>\n
It felt like another day, or a long adventure, or something- but I was to take bus 14 to go to somewhere. From my house towards tanah merah. And for some reason the same warp happened again- bus 14 this time appeared <\/p>\n
Oh yeah, there’s a Zouk where the petrol station normally is. It looks like a large red American diner. Zouk Lite or something, some subsidiary. When I got up the 14, one of my friends’ ex-girlfriends is sitting in the far back corner of the bus, in her school uniform. I sit next to her, but do not acknowledge her. I’m not sure if she recognizes me. She’s lying back in a very lazy, lethargic way- like pai kia. She’s not wearing any underwear. I try not to look.<\/p>\n
I’m late for school or work or something. Bus 14 is supposed to go to tanah merah. Somehow I’m ending up near siglap, where there’s now a zouk. The sun’s about to rise. For some reason, I message one of my female friends about it- another friend’s girlfriend, who I don’t usually talk to. (Ah Diana you read my livejournal- it was you!) She then messages me something about how it’s awesome that the buses now go in different ways and how there’s a Zouk so nearby and something about giving up fencing, which is weird because i don’t usually talk to her, and she doesn’t stay near me, and she’s not into clubbing.<\/p>\n
Every single little detail along the way of the entire dream was just so surreal and interesting- all sorts of little juxtapositions that I would never have come up with myself. Almost trippy in terms of curious insight. Hrm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
