855 & 961

Does the 2 sets of numbers look to you in any way alike/similar?

I don't think so right.

So how is it so that I actually dragged the BF onto bus 961 at Queenstown, thinking it was 855?

*slaps one's own forehead*

- A lil rewind on the tale -

We had actually went to Queenstown shopping centre to browse for new shoes for the fella. After futile browsing, we decided to board 855 down to Thomson Plaza and adjourned to the prata place opposite.

Due to my excitement for Teh Halia and prata, I actually did the unimaginable and got him to board the bus '855' (which was actually bus 961'.

It was about 3/4 into the journey after the bus by passed King Albert Park and did not turn into the road route as expected did the BF think something was amiss. The suspicion that we happily hopped onto the wrong bus was affirmative when it by-passed Rail Mall and turned into Chua Chu Kang.

The BF for his life couldn't link how from CCK can actually lead to Lornie Rd and into Thomson.

Immediately I felt like banging my head against the window pane.

-_-III

Bye prata. Hello long MRT ride home from Kranji.

855

961

And to think we uttered '855', 'prata place' and 'Thomson' countless times in our convo during the journey. I think the passenger infront of us were thinking if we were nutso or what.
