Be completely humble and gentle…

Wah. Not when after you waited 20 mins for the bus that never come, and you see every other buses that comes that route came 2-3 times already and your bus is still no where in sight.
Plus the fact I'm already running late again, and I don't want to be late/later than late.
So took the express 502 that came in the end after 20 min. When you alight at your destination, you saw your 99 bus right behind you (but not in sight when you were getting up the other bus). And not only that, there were not 3, but 4!!! 99 bus piled up together back to back.. (explaining why the long delay!). Not only that, have to pay 2.5x more on the express bus (which isn't any more faster) after waiting that long.

Though frustrated by that, don't want to let it affect my mood or work ahead at work.
Reminded by the Word (which I was reading on the bus) to be humble and GENTLE... Oh, and completely. (like my area of having complete trust and faith in God on area of finance which He's working on with me)
And hence submit to the Word and Spirit, instead of boiling with frustration and blaming the external circumstances..
(it comes with the desire to want to be gentle and be more like Jesus)

I didn't even get directly insulted or harrassed by an opponent enemy or on my dad/boyfriend/bro. (improvising S. Murali the Day Editor's description of Materazzi the Italian player towards Z.Zidane on the pit) Else, I'll be doing more than just cursing (albeit inside,alone, mild or non-filthy language) and calling the Hotline (if it exist!).

Ephesians 4:1-2
I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be COMPLETELY humble and gentle; be patient. Bearing with one another in love.
