Serendipity
The first 199 was too full to get on today. Again. Not like I minded terribly today since I wasn't in a rush (Thursday tutorials have a long grace period hehe), but it's pretty odd because it's you know, Thursday, not like a Monday morning or anything. Maybe it's gotta do with it being the first week back from recess break. Chill, people! Don't need to be so kiasu and go to school so early. Haha.

Anyway this guy who was sitting on the bus stop seat in front of me took out a book to read because it's really damn sian to have a bus pass by and not be able to get on. And guess what book he pulled out?

Iain Banks' The Steep Approach To Garbadale!

I was hyperventilating inside.

Okay. I hear you asking, "What's the BIG DEAL?" and shaking your head sadly. But seriously, who reads Banks? So I conclude it's a big deal. And I don't know, isn't there a sort of... connection you feel with people who've read the same books as you did?

Blah I know I'm reading too much into this. But just let me.
