This is what I'm currently in love with...
1. My girlfriend
2. My Mars bar
Why...?
1. Cause shes super nice
2. Cause she bought it for me which so happens to be my favourite chocolate bar
Girlfriend got me Mars cause I was telling her how grumpy I was with endless queues. See this is what happened. And I think its ridiculous for me to bitch about it cause nothing's going to change but hell, let's just do it.
1. My brother came out late from school.
2. I was sweating.
3. I forgot to bring my EZ link card.
4. I had to queue to withdraw money.
5. I had to queue to buy concession for my card.
6. I had to wait for two trains till it finally said 'NEXT TRAIN OUT'
Okay, so day aside,
honestly its a rarity for me to do this nowadays but hell again, I have issues that I have to bring up. Issues about the damn train. Yes, the
MRT. Oh no, not cause they travel at 70km/hr or cause they are always sparkling clean, its people who board them that make me wonder why throw in more trains on the track when it's not going to change people's mindset on how to board the bloody train.
See, this is why people crowd the entrance/exit of the train.
1. Shit I'm late.
2. Shit there's no train after this.
3. Shit I need to shit so let's just fight for a bloody seat.
That's it. That all. I think SMRT should have a new rule. Well, its ridiculous again but hell, I should run SMRT and give this people a spanking on the asses so they deserve seats.
1. You're given a seat if you're 4 months
(and above) pregnant, old and ready to die soon or a child who cannot keep still in the damn train.
2. You're given a seat if you're destination is more than 8 stops away.
3. You're given a seat if you've worked more than 10 hours the day before.
And how do we go around doing this? Damnit. We do screens for everyone and people who take the trains everyday get reserved seats and stickers on their ass which says 'I'm getting this ass down on a seat'
Okay, now seriously, crowding at the entrance/exit of the train is not a really good suggestion. See, we all want to get home in one piece but I believe we all want to go back home comfortably which I think is the one thing that is on everyone's bloody want list but how can we achieve that if everyone's constantly pushing and shoving armpits around?
Letting people alight first may be troublesome but it saves energy from constantly asking people to excuse you when you know the train ain't that big enough for everyone to give you that space you need to excuse yourself out.
This is what I think of the places that I have been to..

. Boon LayPeople here are spoilt for choice. They have both trains that are heading towards Pasir Ris so being the Singaporeans they are, they just run to whichever that comes in first to the station. And the winner who can bid the woman's voice and beeping sound
(door's closing) wins the award for
'I did it like Jackie Chan!'And people in Boon Lay have never seen escalators in their lifes before therefore they MUST run towards the moving staircase just in case the SMRT staff decides to switch it off before actual closing time.
I swear I can go out but then again, I'm Singaporean and I'm proud to say that we want the best for ourselves. How? We fight for it. Not by shoving and pushing and kicking and punching, we do it with a basic courtesy of
"Hello, damnit can't you see the bloody yellow lines".: ShOw YoUr FaCe :.
