hari rabu, aku takde kelas..jd, plan n p shopping sket dgn mama naik bas. ayah p keja, anip p skolah. shopping brg2 kolej je pon. something for my demo speech this saturday.
so, we took the 210 bus at 11. which is the bas i take to go to oakton..it's pretty convinience. only 15 mins away, walking from our home. not long after that, the bus arrived n it drove us to someplace for only like 12 mins. well...we could've walk now couldnt we? :P walking wud be quite far actually. plus, the cold weather wasnt helping.
at 2 something, with loaded of junks being carried around, we were ready to go home. mama didnt want to go to the nearest 210 bus stand coz then it'd fgo all the way to oakton n the journey would be longer despite the 12 mins drive away form home.
so, we waited on the opposite bus stand. the bus arrived 15 mins after tht. however, it was a 250 bus. we were hesistating. shud we take that bus? mama confidently said yes. so little that we know the bus was gona go to a whole completely different directions. we were on the bus for more than half an hour. and we were also the last passenger who came off the bus. we onlly had to came off the bus coz it was already stopping on it's last destination. which wasss the Chicago O'hare International Airport.
fear not. the bus was gona make its way back after a short while. so, i waited while mama was searching ways to go back by the train coz we stopped at the Kiss 'n Fly station. she thought it'd be easier to take the train coz it stops near our home.
and yet again, so little did she know that the it wasnt a train station that we waited at. it was the shuttle station that people get on to from the parking lot all the way to the airport.
the fruitless searching left me n mama stranded again since we missed the bus. i smiled and laughed as i saw the bus taking off. could this get anymore interesting. when mama came, she was certainly most pissed off. hehe. sorry. i got told off for laughing. it was freezing btw. i ws wearing my gloves.
there was this shuttle bus too by the Kiss 'n Fly station. it goes around from each parking lot which was massive...as far as the eyes can see. mama decided to hop in the bus shuttle as it actually stops at a GENUINE train station. O'hare train station. so, we hopped off the bus and saw what the train has to offer. apparently NONE. nothing. because there was no train that stops at Golf Train Station (our house). haha...i knew it. could this get any worse? maybe. we waited there for ages. i fell asleep..mama rang ayah in the office and he was laughing his head off. ayh ckp "nak balik rumah naik flight ke? atau nk lari balik mesia?" hehe. im good with both. lol.
so, sent uncle rahman as our saviour. the whole MSD staffs heard about the news that instant and had a good laugh. thanks. the whole explanation as to where we were went on forever. mama was breathlessly pouring the heart out tryying to explain where we were. making things easier, we took the shuttle again, going back to Kiss 'n Fly Station. thank god it was a different driver :D:D:D:D :P
it drove us crazy. at 6pm, ucnle rahman finally got to us and we were kept warm n cozy in the gmc car. syukkur alhamdulillah. he welcomed us with a big laugh tho. :D i felt silly. deno abt mama. she finally smiled n laughed too.
as soon as i got home, i broke my last day of fasting...:)
it's life. dont take it seriously. expect the unexpected.
