1 in a day, ENUF !

The experience was horrifying, terrifying, MUMMIFYING !

I was on a coach towards Parkway Parade. Into the bus I went, how empty it was ! I even thought that it was my lucky day. Who would have thought that there was a reason behind the emptiness.....If I had known, I wouldn't have even stepped into the coach. I saw a man in a red tee n shorts, with earpieces in both his ears. He looked normal enough, but of course I didn't care whether he was normal or not. I sat opposite the man with my sister, while my parents sat in front of him. Just as the bus started, the man suddenly shouted, " Die ! Go and die !" I thought that he was talking to someone over his handphone, but it didn't seem right.
"Die ! Mati ! Die !" he roared. All the while, he was slapping his lap to a typical rhythm, which made it more freaky.

All the while, I was looking out of the window, terrified and not daring to see him. At last, I mustered my courage and took a glance at him. Who would have thought that our eyes would meet... "What? You want to die is it? Die ! Die ! Hahaha !" he raged. I was utterly terrified. I looked away quickly, with thoughts running wild in my head. Could he be armed with a chopper? Would this be the last day of my life? I kept looking out of the window while the lunatic was ranting and raving at the top of his voice, while slapping his lap. Finally, the coach reached. I was in a delimma. I thought that there was only 1 exit, at the front. I didn't expect there was another exit at the back of the bus.

Should I get out of my seat first? But if I do, he will be behind me. He might stab me in the back. But if I don't , he would pass me and might also stab me. Wishful thinking on my part. When the doors opened, the man got out through the back door. I heaved a sigh of relief. There was another exit ! I got off the bus and continued my life, hoping never to see such a person again.

Haha..you are really paranoid, aren't you? Well, your parents are there to protect you. That's a great life anecdote you've penned down. Continue to archive your life stories. You may use it someday to share it with someone.

That happened to me too! But I do not know whether it is the same man or not. I met a man 2 TIMES about the same as you described, he had earpieces in his ears and he was saying Die! Die!, except he was banging his head against the window in SBS Transit Bus No. 38. I was on my way home form Eastpoint with my mother. BTW, did he wear glasses?
