...during peak hours...the agony starts even before you get on the mode of transport...it starts en route to the mrt, and at the mrt station...
and thousands of singaporeans have to go through agony..working day after working day....no, I correct that...actually it's everyday! Cos even on the weekends, crowds throng these places!!!
1. Your toes get jabbed
..big time...and might I add, your shins as well when you happen to stand in front of them when they're sitting down and crossing their legs...ladies nowadays luurrrvvve wearing high heels...or those pointy-toed ones...you'll get it worse if you happen to be a skinny fella with less layers of fats to 'protect' yourself...
2. You sit or stand next to a youth wearing one of those earphones..
...that seem not only to deliver music to his/her ears..but to everyone else's ears as well...well, at least those who are sitting/standing near him/her...and it's uncanny that the music is always either techno, or rock..*rolls eyes*...sharing is a good trait to have but not of this type...pls count me out of it...
3. You sit next to a guy (or girl) with BO
...need I say more??
4. You sit next to a hyperactive toddler...
...and risk getting ruthlessly jabbed in the ribs, poked in the eyes, head-butted, kicked, punched, stared at, drooled upon, molested, boxed, yelled at, bawled at..and the list goes on..you get the drift...
5. You sit next to a pair of aunties...
...and are subjected to hearing what goes on in their lives and whose son is having a shot-gun marriage... or how expensive the fish is nowadays..or how Zoe Tay's boobs are really quite huge after giving birth...
6. You sit next to a pair of giggly pubescent schoolgirls..
...and are updated with the size of Jerry Yen's boxers or which female pop star is sleeping with some druggie...
7. You sit next to a ragdoll..
i.e. ragdoll = limbs are limp.... i.e. head on a wobbly neck coupled with wobbly arms coupled with wobbly legs. i.e. they slump when asleep. i.e. they infringe on your personal space....
8. You're near a pair of lovers who live in a world of their own...
(will leave that to imagination)...*smooch smooch-kiss kiss-grope grope*...awwww how sweet...so lovey dovey...so cute & cuddly...so so "lo-man-tick"...but hey..thanks but no thanks...we've seen enough of these on local tv shows already...
9. You get incessantly slammed into by shitheads who don't apologise...
..not only within the mrt, but at the mrt station...kudos to those who bump into you and say sorry..but shame on you..those who slam into others and just walk off without even turning back...hmm...are we even halfway there yet to a gracious society??
10. You're happily alseep...and then a lady's voice jerks you awake...
and then you try to sleep again...and the same thing happends after awhile..."if you see a suspicious package, please call 9-9-9"... ??????.... it does great harm to a person's mind and demeanour when his/her precious bout of 40 winks is interrupted...

Just so happened I'm in a griping mood today and got carried away... :)
