Riding bus with strangers

..and yeah..been a while not blogging..bla bla bla..yadda yadda...so since our main tranportation medium is the public transport ie sydney buses...we've stumbled upon so many character in there..it is fun to watch them and get to know them...it's a small place..we're bound to bump into each other again..
.

1. The peter jackson lookalike...he usually hop into the bus with her mother..walking slowly up and along the aisle as if he got something stuck in his shoe...and he really look like peter jackson from the Lord of The Ring trilogy...with huge beard and girth...












and not after King Kong fame..he had a liposuction I think...













2. The girl in Coogee beach..this girl usually hop into the bus half way thru my journey...and for a couple of time we sat together..I dunno why but she will always managed to sit by my side...maybe he think i'm a safe guy or cute....hope for the latter..she might think i'm gay....damn it...need to grow beard...but I dun want to be framed as the next top terrorist...


3. The usual bus stop buddies...there are the contracter dude...always with his worn out work boot and messy hair...the personal trainer from greece or wherever ..has a thick accent and wears a huge sunglass....the cashier lady..working in chemist store in bondi..not sure whether she's from the past coz she always wear a bell bottomed pants...sweeping the floor and pavement wherever she goes...the couple from spain..he usually be walking to the stop half naked...only wear his shirt at the stop...he doesn't have a 6 packs though...the girl will be all over him kissing and stuff...get a room ppl!!

4. The zronked...red nosed of too much booze......too many to mention but they do exist...some are more talkative than others..discussing abt world peace..global warming..and stuff like that..some are pretty annoying but kudos to them for not driving and know where to stop...experienced drunks...

5. The kiasu bus driver...this one particular driver is the epitome of kiasu...maybe she did drove in mini bus KL and graduated in Shah Alam streets....coz she just dun give a rat ass abt anybody...I did tried to took a picture of her..but just too afraid she might ran me over with the blue bus of her..she's scary...oh well..better luck next time...

6. The kiasu auntie..she loves to conquer the seats...putting as much groceries and bags on the side so nobody want to ask whether the seat is available...

7.the talkative mum and kids...parents especially the mum will go by bus to pick the kids...and the kids will blab on and on in the bus...the mum will be nagging non stop with different kind of accent..totally different than the kids with oz accent...

8. The teenagers...with foul mouth...wannabe bad ass of the bus..seems like they just learned the f word...every sentence they utter will somehow contain the f word...sheeshh...

9. The steve jobs supporter...that's practically everyone here with ipod...ur not cool without ipod...ur still nobody with a measly ipod shuffle..not even the taiwan made mp3 or mp4 for that matter...ur not helping urself...guys gotta have ipod classic..not a nano..that's for whimps..........as borat said in his infamous movie..ipod nano for girls!..

10. And then there are us.... The totally oblivious abt the ticketing system...always over riding the route...paying the least for the max ride...but we're just lucky not getting caught...that's 200 dollar if convicted...crap...

Btw...since xmas is just around the corner...they held a competition for the best pimped out xmas bus....customer can vote via phone...they do know how to have fun..chill out..
