Woke up at 3.50am for supper. Tot I could have survive without it, but my darling son kicked me up, to eat something...ha!
This afternoon went out meet my best friend, Jas for lunch at Tanjong Pagar, looked forward to meeting her since yesterday as we have not catch up with each other for long. Moreover, I wanted to know how's her prep for her wedding, and hopefully I can provide advice/help her in a way.
Journey started from AMK to TP. I took a MRT train down town. Normally, I drive myself around, so it was rare that I take train. But I was hoping to walk more for some exercise...crazy....
It was a crowded lunch hour, so AMK station is filled with crowds taking the N-S line. Guess that's the norm. Noticed that in a span of 3 mins, MRT PA system was announcing to commuters not to cross the yellow line for their own safety, so who said that the MRT Personnel not doing their job in monitoring the commuters.
Then I saw this "gunho" teenager of 14-15 years old, with his family, took a big leap and step over the yellow line, then he stepped back to his orignial position. His family members didn't even said a thing about his behavior.
I was thinking to myself
"Why is he behaving in such a manner, is he trying to prove how efficient the MRT Personnel is, if the MRT will fine him for stepping over?"
It was to me, a really stupid act by this teen, whom parents did not tell him off about his behavior, and in the event he really tripped and fell onto the track, the parents will put all blame to the MRT for not enforcing the safety of commuters. Even how much the LTA/MRT tried to educate the commuters with posters, warnings, PA Announcement, such things will still happen due to the stupidity of pple, isn't it?
As I continued my journey, I glued myself to my PDA News-on-the-go. Alighted at Raffles Pl, to transit to E-W line. Normally, I will try to avoid the crash with the crowd due to my "big Tummy". Not to obstruct others..hah..So I let the crowd enter the train and I followed behind. It was fully filled seats, and I was standing. There was this couple in front of me, the gal was trying to avoid looking in my direction, maybe she's not, and then glued to the boyfriend by arms, and talking. Then I noticed someone trying to get my attention on my left, besides the couple, a man waving to me, offering me his seat, he was with his galfriend, or friend. I declined politely stating I am getting off the next station. A world apart! One couple, ignoring my preggy look, the other on seeing me, trying hard to get my attention and offer me the seat.
When I alighted at TP, the crowd was "rushing" to the escalator, once again, i follow the flow and queue behind, instead of choosing to cut in half way at the escalator handle. When i was at the tip of going up, there were this few men, jus cut in my path and ignoring, once again, my big tummy, and oblivious, move up the escalator. Shit! (Sorry) I was really disgusted by their act. There was this man, whom is a white collar employed, with all due respect, newspaper in his hands, behaved like uncout, uncultured POS (Piece of Shit) and he walks like TLP(in hokkien).
Keeps me wondering, the behavior of our fellow singaporeans are really not up to mark. Caucasians abroad always have the gentlemenly behavior towards females, senior citizens, handicapped, but why our Singaporeans can't be educated into being so. Even how educated you are in your academic qualifications, holding hight positions in MNC, but with 0 EQ, you are nothing.
Now, we know why are we branded as "Ugly Singaporeans". It's not uncalled for.
Anyway, with the episodes I've met, I continued my journey to meet Jas, and we had a good time at lunch and the fellowship was great.
Did I say Jas and I had been friends since we are in Pri 1? That was 24 years back!
