To make myself more punctural

移花接木 2024-02-17 09:44:59 ( reads)

Going to work with flexible hours is an advantage to whom occasionally missed the alarm clock. To someone not so self-disciplined is a curse. Like me, I was not used to be like this, now seemed procrastination has got me badly. With all the amenities around I turned this occasionality into regularity. I hated it but could not overcome it. I don't think I even have the nerve to try to overcome it. I don't mind to stay late just can't come in early.

 So I decided to take bus. The buses have schedules that can force me to be punctual. I have done this for a week and can't be happier to the decision so far. There is also about 30mins walking for each single trip before getting on and after getting off the bus. So an hour's hiking exercise everyday. At certain times some bus services are put as special - no payment required. I am having fun to catch these free rides.

 I also find other benefits from bus riding, you shall see below... ... . I have been driving along this route over 10 years, can't count how much excitment I missed.  Now I can free my hands from the steering wheel, look around and capture moments and scenes.....

 

 
1. The morning blue hour, as days getting longer I can walk into the golden hours someday.

2. Got off the bus, walked by the creek I have been passing for years , twice a day. The reflection of sunlight on the water surface is attractive.

3. The same creek, at different time of a day, different lighting condition
