LONG post
im not exactly free to blog now, not supposed to be here, blogging.
but i'm here, and im blogging. haha, this is simply because
i have a burning topic to blog about. :)
*
i became a fan of the facebook group, "i dont like to squeeze in MRT".
i mean who likes crowded MRTs? i'm kinda used to being in extremely crowded
trains, and yes, i've experienced, and witnessed some incidents.
i read this group's facebook wall and i agree with one of the comments made.
*
People actually RUN, from platform A to B in Cityhall, east west line.
yes, they RUN across. and usually i'm the one who is boarding from cityhall itself,
and when i see the train from the west arrived, the doors open,
and i can see a flow of people. even working ladies run in their heels. such sights, and more.
it's like the train is overflowing with people.
*
sometimes i can get squeezed all the way to the train doors.
i ended up leaning against the doors itself. it becomes worse when the people around
me are bigger and taller, so i cant really breathe properly. it's true.
*
im kinda used to standing all the way from tampines to dover, which is like 20 stops.
it's an achievement, okay. but usually i will start swaying a little when i reached dover. haha
and the worse thing that can ever happen is if the train is stuck in the middle of nowhere.
and you're right there standing without having a pole to grab, holding your laptop plus you're running late. yeap, worse thing that can ever happen. =/
*
there was this time when i stood all the way back from dover,
the time was around 3pm. yes, the train is already full after noon. always.
and i was so tired i dozed off while standing, hugging my laptop.
when i opened my eyes again, i almost stepped onto someone. who is sitting down on the floor, doing homework. -.-
a kid from dunno-what school. i realised that people were either staring at his papers or
staring at HIM. well, i was staring at him.
why would someone sit down on the floor and do homework like no one's business? why?
when people are standing around him. UGH.
*
i seriously think that people should not even sit down in trains when it's crowded, please.
and people should stop pushing to get in the train. just to get seats. -.-
well sometimes i think i need the seat more than others do, because i have 20 stops to endure.
*
hmm, on the brighter side, some MRT incidents i saw were quite funny.
i remember when i was walking to tampines station one day,
and the screen read: Joo Koon : arrived
and there was this guy who ran like he was in a marathon all the way to the control station area, and then up, to catch the train. he was wearing a business suit btw.
i cant help but to giggle. :D
*
and sometimes, funny ringtones make me giggle too.
in the morning, the trains are crowded and the atmosphere is kinda quiet.
so there was this ringtone of birds chirpinggg, from low to high volume. :D
the uncle took quite long to stop the ring as he was busy digging for his phone.
super funny, everyone was looking at the uncle's handphone when he took it out. haha!
*
haha okaay, i didnt realise i blogged quite a lot for this topic.
considering that i take the train everyday, to and fro, all the way to the east.
sorry if im boring you here, but yeah. i have so much to say about MRTs. (:
*
seems like colourful plastic chairs appear very 'attractive' to almost everyone who boards the train right. it's like a target. when the target is reached, it's a goal.
for me, more like a miracle if i get a seat on the train in the morning. haha
