anencounter .

went to orchard with clarence this afternoon after lessons ..
and we encountered with this one situation on the bus ..

when the bus reaches Gleneagles ..
theres this tourist that boarded the bus started to have a conversation with the bus driver ..
both clar and i thought that they were communicating well until ..

tourist : Does anyone knows how to speak CHINESE here ?

so i stood up to help the tourist as i was sitting at the seat that is closest to them ..
apparently that tourist wanted to go to this one place at Serangoon Road ..
but he doesnt know where to alight and he was trying to seek help from the bus driver ..
BUT ..
the bus driver doesnt know how to speak english ..
thus theres a language barrier between them causing them to be unable to communicate ..
so i became their translator helping them to bring messages across to each other ..
whilst i was doing so ..
another uncle on the bus suddenly shouted ..

uncle : HURRY UP DRIVE LA .. behind got other cars .. (in chinese)

it was like -.- .
so the driver ignored me and quickly drove the bus off from the bustop ..
and this made the tourist felt angrier thus worsening the situation ..

luckily the driver replied that the tourist could go to the serangoon interchnge to transfer a bus to go to that place ..
and after that clar and i quickly alighted from that bus ..

sighs ..
English has unknowingly became one of the universal language ..
