i must blog this down man. it's been a long time since mum took a train ever since she got a car, so since F1 is on, and roads may be jammed, i decided to bring her on her first mrt trip after sooo long (she has a car)..
going there was ok. food was good at kyoshinbo..then we met 2 ladies at next table and had a good time chatting about everything under the sun (how technology was in the past) hehe..coming back was the experience for mum.
it was so squeezy and mum was traumatized from rushing into the train at the north south line...then we alighted at dhoby ghaut..then waited for nel for like 15 mins cuz i think something happened. and the announcement kept apologising. then she INSISTED that it was because it was too crowded so the door kept opening and closing. and i assured her that this door had absolutely no sensor. it just smashes close on you. or your belongings..just like it did to my poor darling when he was helping me hold my newly bought boggle game..then we checked and lucky it wasn't broken. and he said something uncool against his cool appearance but thats a secret. heh
her reactions and my observations in the train was interesting today..she was obviously uncomfortable with so many pple so close to her. and i realised 3 very interesting phenomena.
you know there are some pple who are obviously too tall for the handle and feel that touching the ceiling is their choice of support, even when the train isn't really jerking much and small sized pple around him can balance, he just lifts his hand gloriously and spread the love from his armpit. i'm sure you have seen those pple before. hmm.
then you have those who talk as if the whole train is theirs and cant wait to spread the smell of their mouth thru the entire cabin. er...pls at least pop a mint first?
and you have pple who are damn irritating and refuse to move in when its so crowded and stil can open newspaper big big and read like they have damn alot of space?
last but not least couples who take the chance to squeeeeeeze together simply cuz it's 'just too crowded'.
hmm after we alighted mum said she refuses to take the train again. i guess i have this reason to point out whenever i want to borrow her car in future!
cheers pple. start observing the world around you. it's interesting.
