As always , most experiences may be good or bad but the memories of them do stay with us for a long time . An incident happened to me that till today i could still remember every single thing that happened . It was the day when i got lost .
I should be seven or eight years old by then . My elder brother and I had just finished our religious class . We went to our usual bus stop to take a bus home . At that moment , I had a fight with my elder brother and I boarded the bus first .
The usual bus we took was always 143 or 30 . I boarded bus 30 as it came first . Inside the bus , all I could think was when I got home , I'm going to tell my mother about it . As I was deep in thoughts , i looked around me . The bus was supposed to turn left but it turned right . I was not disturbed as i thought it was taking a longer route . A few minutes later , I realised that I was lost . All I could do was burst out loudly into tears .
Finally , the bus stopped at an interchange . All passengers went out of the bus , but i still stood there looking confused . The bus driver then walked up to me and asked what had happened and why i did not alight the bus . I told him that i was lost and I could not find my way home . He took out his phone and asked for my mother's number .After a while , he sent me to the office and asked me to calm down . He said that my mother would be there soon .
My mother brought my elder brother along . She went up to me and hugged me tightly . I knew she was relieved . Still , I received a good scolding from her . She also scolded my brother for being irresponsible not looking or taking good care of me . My brother and I hugged and said sorry to each other . I also apologized to my mother . I had done such an idiotic thing . I was so happy to be back that i cried and hugged my mother .
Although it happened a long time ago , the incident still remains very vividly in my mind . Everytime we sees the bus "30" , my mother would ask , " Remember that incident happened when you were seven years old ? " .
Oh , of course I won't forget that . I had done a stupid thing that day .
