You know...hardly nobody could resist the drowsy feeling before finally give in and just fall asleep...
But for me, I hardly can sleep or let myself fall asleep if I have no idea whether I have taken the right bus or will this bus take me to the right place? As if my whole body went on alert mode... I am restless and worry all the time as I really hate to be stranded in strange place... Unless I just want to take a ride and don't care where the bus take me...
After not taking bus for a while, a few weeks ago I went to bus stop at Dukuh Atas using busway. Bus stop at Dukuh Atas also function as transit bus stop.
I sat beside this sleeping guy who obviously care nothing about his surrounding and where ever. I assumed that he must have known his exact destination. My assumption was incorrect when he woke up and asked a lady sitting beside him.
Man : Ma'am, have we arrived at bus stop in Matraman?
Lady: Sir, Matraman was far away from here... You should stop there before you let yourself dragged here to Dukuh Atas
For your information, Matraman located far away from Dukuh Atas. That man gave this blank look. A combination of a person who still not fully awake and in denial. No way... we are not here in Dukuh Atas yet... Well, something like that...
So dear friends, unless you really know where you are going...then sleeping in overdose mode should be avoided... Otherwise, you have passed your destination without realizing it...and it means...you will waste your time... You will have to go back again and there is no guarantee you will get the transportation any sooner...
