Well... had been busy all while with assignments, classes, school graduation and concert and the list can just go on....

Since I have finally decided to update my blog, I wanna take this opportunity to ponder over certain issues which seem to get into my nerves. Recently, I came across an article in the newspapers regarding " Are Singaporeans Spoilt?" Expats claim that it is true, giving reasons such as the train system in Singapore is alot more better than other countries. This may be true but the bottom line is, although we have an excellent train system over here, S'poreans seem to take advantage over this. For example, seats!!! I just can't believe how these people can appear to look as if it is a matter of life and death when they see an empty seat in the train and rush to sit.

And if there is an elderly, or a pregnant woman, these 'good samaritans' will pretend to be sleeping by closing their eyes. as hard as they can. Come on man! It is so obvious what are your intentions people! I ever had an incident where I missed my stop at City Hall as a KIASU family charged into the train and blocked my way in order for them to quickly get my seat as I got up to leave the train. Whoever and wherever this family is... Argh I just don't wanna say it from my mouth but you guys will never be forgiven for what you had done to me that day cos I only reached home 2 hours later. The trains after that got delayed and I had to wait for taxis which I never got and gosh i don wanna think about it... So yeah...

And then I came across an email where it showed a photo of a family of three occupying 6 seats in the train. YES!!! It is in SINGAPORE!!! Apparently this family boarded the train in City Hall... They managed to find this whole row of seat unoccupied. The mother sat on one of them while her son who looked like Yogi Bear slept on her lap with his legs stretched, occupying 3 other seats. The head of the family, the father sat beside the son sound asleep with plastic bags filled with stuffs kept on the seat next to him which is the last seat. So what do you call this kind of a "considerate" behaviour? The word is "SHAMEFUL"!!! Oh yeah... the train was also packed with ppl standing ard... Gosh!!! Who in the world would do such things?

Not forgetting about the other popular mode of transport of ours... the BUS!!!! You can see the same thing happening in there too... As soon as you board the bus, no matter how crowded it is, you can still see a few seats where the person will be sitting on the outer side of the seat leaving the seats inside unoccupied, and not allowing those who are standing to have those seats. I wonder why? Probably they leave those seat empty for their deceased great grandmother. This is so frustrating bcos they don show any kind of reaction when those who are standing try to hint to them that they wish to sit! I see this practically everyday and I have decided, as the saying goes, "If you can't stop them, then join them!" Just to teach these people a lesson, esp in one of the buses whichI take regularly and see many familiar faces who loves playing this game with the others... Well, it's payback time...
