Finally, after struggling to find the answer for so long, I decided to seek the truth.
Now that I have gotten the truth, I'm not too sure how I ought to react.
At least I'm clear that the struggling is no longer present. And I need to start getting used to this fact.

An overdue post
It was an act of courage for me when I decided to stand up for myself and seek the truth why...
A bus driver of TransIsland Bus #851 passed by my stop and refused to stop for me. I thought he meant it as the next bus was arriving soon. At 0012H, I knew I had missed the last bus at 0009H. THAT, was the last bus.
I could have taken a night rider. I could have taken a cab home. I could have stayed over at SMU to catch the 1st bus. I've got quite a few options... but I doubt I could ever be at peace with myself not knowing the truth.
After debating for 10 full minutes, I decided to seek the truth and went on an adventure. I flagged down a cab and told the driver to chase after the bus.
10 minutes later, we finally found the bus. I told the cab driver to drop me 3 bus stops ahead of THAT bus so I could wait for it. My cab driver just patiently wait there for me in case I needed to take his cab again. By the way, the cab fare cost me $10.20.
This time, the bus did stop for me. I sat on the bus debating if I should confront the driver in front of everyone or wait till it reaches the yishun bus interchange to speak to him privately.
By then, I couldn't trust my emotions. I decided I'd be nice and speak to him in private.
To my surprise, my curiosity in seeking for the truth was stronger than my sense of righteousness. I spoke to the driver (who was a china man) calmly. I found out that he thought it wasn't the right stop so he didn't stop the bus for me.
Guess what's the next thing I did? I whipped out the cab receipt and the bus driver willingly paid me $10.20.
I had to walk home after that because there was no more feeder bus home.
But I'm glad I pluck out the courage to seek the truth. Sometimes, things are not as bad as it seems. The question is - Do I have the courage to seek the truth?
