The aura!

It was 10.18pm when i got jolted awake by the constant jerking movement from the bus.

Traffic jam, i realised.

It was probably the first time i was stucked in a massive traffic jam late at night, especially after spending a whole day in school. I cant wait to go home and rest...

Has the 'suay' aura got passed onto me? I thought..

Several people on my bus have alighted after seeing how the bus crawled at 20meters in 5 minutes. Some walked while some crossed to the opposite road to either take cab or other buses. But I stayed put. It was just 8 bus stops away from my home!

Afterall, i wanted to know what was causing the big jam.

Minutes past but the bus just didnt seem to have gone far from where i started noticing. Several cars took the opportunity to U-turn at a junction.

Then, a police car zoomed slightly past that junction, stopped and reversed back hastily. But there was a motorcycle following behind and as a result, the police car bang onto the motorcycle. And all these just happened at the side of my bus and i got to witness it. Fortunately, the motorcylist managed to balance himself but on that police car, it left a big dent at the bumper. The police came out and apologized to that motorcylist whom only smiled and said "It's okay." Sheesh, should have demand compensation from the police!

Anyway, the bus inched its way while many cars just U-turned as directed by the police.

Then it was 11pm already when the bus finally drove past the area causing the jam.

It was a tree. A fallen tree.

It has felled across the road, occupying two out of the three lanes on the expressway, the road along MacRitchie Reservoir.

Several people were frantically sawing the poor tree into pieces and dragging to the side.

But still, a relief to finally escaped from that jam.

In the end, an usual 50 minutes journey took me almost 2 hour.

What a night.
