I was part of Brisbane's bomb scare just an hour ago. -shudders-
Bus no. 407, my favourite, equivalent of an aussified 852. So the university rocket bus was unusually late today, very, very late (normally the bus time-table is pretty accurate). The university only bus-stop looked as if brimming with school kids waiting for bus uncles and aunties; non-stop flirting/teasing/joking and sporadical laughters from the Taiwanese-Malaysian group nearby (don't ask me why, I just knew).40 minutes later, a smilely face smeared in sick tomato red sauce was smudged on the bus window, right beside me. Ironically for me to find this playfulness sick because I play with leftovers on everyone's plate in the most disgustingly obscene manner and weird as it was, dear dear 407 did not follow its assigned st lucia-toowong-auchenflower-city route which putting it simply, instead of going towards city, it went against. On normal days, the bus ride would have taken 10 minutes to reach city, it bloody took 45 minutes circling and re-circling the entire suburbs like a day trip tour bus.
It really didn't occur to me that Brisbane will be targeted by terrorists, seriously, I thought Sydney or Canberra or even Melbourne would be (choy!) first attacked or bombed, otherwise, Gold Coast would be of a more likely choice. Eariler, before leaving trump's house for my afternoon paper, I tried checking the bus timetable but the schedule page was blank, even after refreshing for the n number of times. Technical glitch maybe. No, no no no they were uploading this red alert!!!
Good thing it was an empty threat, good thing I left home early, good thing.
Oh I forgot to tell you that I met 2 women wearing lizards on them, yucks, on the same street and barely 5 steps apart. A goth inspired lizard tattoo noir, 5cm tail at least, on a woman's right arm and this other elderly woman with a gold textured lizard brooch above her left breast, far too sinister to ignore, these bad bad things.
Ah yes, will be back on island Singapura 23rd Nov, taking the mid-night flight on business-class. wahaha. expect an obscene cargo of timtams. -muacks-
