Observations: In the Bus/Mrt 4.0

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

it's peak hours, the train is packed. it's just amazing how ppl can be so "asleep" only w/in 3metres of someone more in need of a seat than u? i was standing beside this aunty in her late 30s, carrying a toddler. who in my opinion need NOT be carried. he is at least 4yrs old and still sucking a pacifier?? *roll eyes*

anw one of the uncle woke up and saw her.. immediately stood up and offered her his seat... yet the aunty din take it! her other elder son [prob 5 or 6] went to take the seat and she told him in hokkien, "don't seat lah! very hot one!!" how "polite"!! the uncle who gave up his seat for u is just standing NEXT to you! and even me with my hokkien limited i understood wat you said!!

which is worse? ppl who pretend to sleep instead of giving up their seats to those who needs it more? or those who ain't appreciative at all? *shake head*

Mode of Transport: Mrt
Time of Travel: On the home from work [again]

i was transferring from NSL to NEL.... on one of the connecting escalator, i walked down briskly as usual. then i realised the gal on my left was walking just as fast... not wanting to be walking "parallel" and block the way for ppl behind, i walk abit faster... and she walked even faster! it almost seems like a race.... ridiculous! but once off the escalator, i walked off leaving her behind me... nope i din run.... i just happened to have longer legs than she! *evil chuckles*

.03
Mode of Transport: Mrt [still...]
Time of Travel: On the way home from work [again??!!]

this aunty was in front of me at the fare gate, and she stood there staring at it for a good 3 sec [count 1 thousand, 2 thousand, 3 thousand] and "bong"!!! even with my mp3 on, i could hear that! the display said "tap card" not play "snap card"! the reader ain't TAT insensitive tat we have to snap our ezlink card on it....

wat can i say? amazing ppl i see on our public transport... hehehee.....
