I started in when i was 3/4 yrs old when I lived in Whampoa. My
parents frequently brought me around on buses and pointed out
interesting stuff and I started looking forward to bus trips. Also,
I lived in a terrace house and buses zoomed by the house everyday.
Thus, I became interested in them. I started remembering the buses
that I take frequently, like 122 which goes to some huge shopping
centre. The longest bus trip that I took was 21 from st michael to
pasir ris, when my grandma took me to a huge park (which I knew
later to be pasir ris park). I also rmb that my house is a distance
from the bus-stop and my grandma always asked the driver to stop by
the side of the road outside my house to let us alight. The drivers
always acceded to this request so much so that I used to think that
it is normal to do so. Haha. 
I soon shifted to tp and got exposed to even more buses. The
interchange was like heaven to me-so many buses around. I had to
take 56 weekly to Middle Rd for some lessons and I memorized the
route unknowingly. I still remember some of the reg no. to be SBS
530, 531, 540 and 541. I also rmb this driver that drives one of
the SD. He drives smoothly and always waits patiently for ppl
running after the buses. Most importantly, he always arrives on the
dot, not a minute late, not a minute early. I saw him still driving
a SD 56 a few days ago.
A few years ago, when bus guides came out, I started poring over
the guides and a road directory and my scope expanded outside of
tp. I never know kallang bahru/ boon keng is actually so close to
Jalan Besar as kallang bahru belonged to the 26/31 side and jalan
besar belonged to the 139/145 side. My family thought I had gone
haywire up there, spending so much time on bus guides. 
I got introduced to this forum recently, and realised that im not
alone. There are actually other fellow Singaporeans with 'wrong
electrical connections up there'. Haha...
