Observations: In the Bus/Mrt 3.0

.01
Mode of Transport: Mrt
Time of Travel: On the way home from chinatown

the train was rather empty... this young chap [not more than early 20s] came in and lean against the other door [aka not the one tat's opening]. as i was seated at the corner on the opposite row, i can't help but to notice his sloppiness. from standing to sitting, to almost lay full flat on the floor... his eyes were shut, earphones on, oblivious to the stares he's getting from the not-so-many commuters around.

approaching the terminal station, the announcement came that this train will no longer be in service and that all passengers are to alight from the train. he was still sleeping.... the train finally stopped and the doors opened. some quickly moved out, ignoring the still sleeping guy by the door.

i went over and tapped him on his shoulder.... no response. i took off his earphone and called him... no response. an uncle seeing this came over and shook his legs.... still no response. we have no choice by to leave cos none of us wanna a ride to the train depot. the door closed...

unable to see any station staff on the platform, i went up to the station control to inform the staff. a lady was ahead of me in this. after given the assurance that they have a staff down at the platform now to check it out, the mini audience left... an old aunty commented, he must have taken some "drug"... be it she meant pharmaceutical or otherwise, i have no idea....

seriously, can sleep until like this??!!
