It was Sunday afternoon. Me and my friends, Jun Wei and Jasper had arranged to play table tennis at Ang Mo Kio. I arranged to meet my friend, Jun Wei at his house on Circuit Road at first than head to Ang Mo Kio on bus 135. The bus ride took about thirty minutes however it seemed like ages as the bus 135 route goes through the desolate Upper Aljunied Road. At the interchange, we were supposed to change to a bus however, both of us had forgotten whether it was bus 265 or 269! Being cocky as I had never got lost in my whole life, I insisted that we take bus 269 instead of calling Jasper to clarify. Bus 269 came in a matter of minutes. Jun Wei and I hopped on the bus and found two seats. The bus was comfortable, with the air-con running at full blast and I soon fell asleep.

   Wake up! Where are we?" I woke up to a start. It was Jun Wei and I chided him for disrupting my beauty sleep. However Jun Wei than pointed to a road sign. Ang Mo Kio avenue 61! This was no where near our destination. I begin to panic and pressed the stop bell. We than got off the bus. From a distance, I noticed Yio Chu Kang MRT station in the background. I begin walking towards it. This was a bad idea as I was to find out later, the nearest bus stop with the bus 265 was just two roads away! We walked and walked. Soon, we reached the MRT station. What should we do next? We decided to just hop back on the train to Ang Mo Kio. 

 This time, when we reached the MRT station, we took the bus 265 instead. After a few minutes, we saw Jasper at the bus stop. He looked furious. I checked my watch. Wow! It was already 3:00 pm and we were late by half an hour. He scolded me for my cockiness and we proceeded on as planned. 

I have learnt not to act before thinking and not to be overconfident from this incident.
