The Bus and the Girl
20 05 2009So, i’ve been taking the bus to work on most days.
Now if you are a regular bus-passenger who takes the bus to and fro from work, you will start to notice that there are some familiar faces.
That auntie with the many different floral blouses. The boy with the messy untucked school uniform. The hot girl with the same pencil skirt and alternate dress shirts. The man with the greasy hair plastered across his forehead and the cheap cologne.
The hot girl with the same pencil skirt and alternate dress shirts.
:)
She’s been appearing quite often in my bus rides.
We probably take a similar route. She gets on the bus before me on the way to town, and she gets on after me on the way back from work in evenings.
Come on. bus rides are fairly boring. You need these things to keep yourself entertained.
Anyways.
It’s at that point now where we’ve noticed each other, but not enough so that anyone should do anything just yet. The occasional eye contact, the occasional double-take. (I don’t stare, it’s rude.)
Surprisingly enough, she acknowledged my existence that day with a few glances in my direction.
Do you believe in fate?
I believe in set working hours, limited bus availability, and carefully planned time of travel.
throw in careful seat selection, and who knows what may happen.
I’d wait a few more chance bus meets with her before going over and starting a conversation, though.
‘Cause.
It’s not like we’re going anywhere.
and maybe a few tips from the Kau Lui Guide will help.
:)
will keep u guys updated.
hey and if you can, post me some kickass pick-up lines that don’t creep the girl out.
you get brownie points if it’s bus-ride related.

huhu you remind of gerald and his bus girl when he first started in KL.
it also reminds me of this particular incident when i was in Form 3.
was in the bus, the bus jerked forward and i totally lost my balance.
held on to the vertical steel bar and turned a full circle with my arm as the radius.
and practically sat on a school girl’s lap.
perhaps you could stage one.
I had bus-eye-candy before too. It’s great, but when you say “It’s not like we’re going anywhere.”… not true! You better make your move before she changes jobs or something!
“I like your ride…” “If I get a car later, can we still car-pool?”
Ok, forget the pickup line. It’d creep her out.
Let me know how it goes. Good luck!
awww this is like some cute fairy tale story! cant wait to see what happens.. from a girls point of view, and from previous experiences, i think just make a bit of eye contact.. and one day (must wait awhile first k? dont do this immediately) just smile a bit.. heheheh
kev, she’s too old to fall for that. :)
did u stage yours? hahha
sonia: lolling @ the pickuplines!
will take ur advice. pick-up lines tend to fail. i’d prefer actual light conversation that doesn’t end with me asking for her number. if she wants to keep in contact, she’d offer it. right?
ms. pomme: yeah. tats wat im thinking too. if things go wrong i’d still have to face her everyday. so..must make smart moves. :)
yea.. must be subtle.. nobody likes guys who are too bold. anyway if shes interested she’ll respond with a smile or something similar hehe. keep updating us!
Lol you could always give her the maths pickup line…
guys who are too bold?
haha, sorry, couldnt help myself.
sha, the maths pick up line?
how does it go?
Ok it goes like this..
*walk up/sit down/lean over her*”Hey baby… You like math? I’m good at math… I would like to add you, subtract the clothes, divide your legs, and multiply…”
This works well if you can pull of a proper indian accent…
And you actually need to be good at math to pull this off…
hahhahha! i’ve heard that one before.
WHO IN THE WORLD WOULD ACTUALLY USE THAT. lol
i bet it never works unless the girl is pissed drunk. and looking for some action.
otherwise, you’ll be lucky getting away with just a slap.
maybe some mace or pepper spray in your face.
she’ll add some pepperspray to your face, subtract all your dignity, divide your legs (then kick you in the nuts) and blog about it on multiply.
Kev: Babi u….so lame la that one..:P
Yeah, i had my share of regular faces in the bus too..:P and i did make a few good friends out of that….
I’ve also had a group of 36 malay chicks which one of them was really cute..haha..and like u..we do acknowledge each other’s presence…:P but what really sparked it all off was one EMBARASSING thing….which i shall not expose..yeah..but anyhow..this thing only comes naturally…as in out of your concious..Justin..pls dont do something stupid to embarass urself…..pls….muahahaha
Sha: i almost falls of my chair reading your pick-up line…OMG!”!!!!!
hahha.. say what happened la Gerald. How embarrassing can it be?
True, these things come naturally - but if i don’t do anything at all nothing can happen!
the guy has to initiate something, right.
i will only go with the flow and start something if it feels right. Don’t worry, i won’t do stupid things. I’ll avoid cliches and bad lines! (especially ones like the math one.)
sha : THAT IS NOT A PICKUP LINE! more like a native mating ritual sacrificial thingy. =p
justin : i didnt stage mine. i sat on some other chick’s lap and not grace’s who was on the same bus!
gerald : hey actually i think doing something really stupid to attract the attention might not be such a bad idea. serious.
Justin: hey think about it la… India has a population problem…so this line has had to work at least SOME times…
Kev: ROFL
Gerald: Tell la… how bad could it be… its not like you exposed yourself rite?
based on the number of comments for each entry.. i believe it is quite clear which topics people are most interested about eh. hahaha. nice experiment with great conclusion (:
jiayou on your kau lui mission (:
gerald: TELL!
kev: what did Grace do/say? :P
angeline: hahha..experiment? conclusion? i haven’t done anything yet. and no conclusion yet. but not bad. i have a support team. :)
wish me luck guys.
Here we go.
she ah…..giggled.
lol of course u have a support team…
One person to tell you how to win girls over (Jillian)
One to tell you how not to embrass urself infront of girls (Gerald)
and 2 people to sit down and comment and make fun of you… (*me and Kevin*)
