Ugly Singaporeans

I notice that I have quite a number of encounters with ugly Singaporeans. They really piss me off. These usually occur on public transport as I always take MRT to commute to and fro work and it's during peak hours where the train is packed like sardine.

1. People don't move towards the centre of the cabin. This is true despite numerous reminders by the speakers. They simply like to stand and crowd near the door. This makes it difficult for others to board and alight the train. Hate such ppl, I will just elbow and jostle my way through. I don't care who got stepped by my heels or knocked in the process.

2. People like to sleep on the train. I can understand you have had a long day at work or had to wake up early in the morning despite pulling a late night. But I think there ought to be sleeping etiquette as well, among all other etiquettes. There was 1 auntie standing next to me on the train 1 fine morning. Next thing I knew, her head was on my shoulder. This while we were all standing and not sitting down, mind you! I was infuriated. I shrug off her head and threw her a disgusted look. Be glad that she's a female. If it was a He, I would have given him one tight slap.

3. I was standing close to the back of the lift with many other ppl. Everyone got in but the door did not close as no one was controlling the buttons. Therefore, everyone just stood there and it lasted for a moment. I looked at everyone. They all had on a straight face and were just staring off to space. I supposed they were just waiting for one another. I pushed the person in front of me so I could reach the buttons, pressed 1st storey and "door closed". Was it that difficult to press a couple of buttons? I don't think it takes much effort seriously. Did they rather wait and wait than to just press and move on? I silently cursed those ppl standing around the control panel. Hope they become big fat pigs, serve you right for being so lazy and wasting time.

Tell me, how do you have a good day ahead when you met so many ugly Singaporeans? They totally spoil my day...

Argh.... I think I have become too obsessed with work. Brought some report home to do the last few days as the dateline was Friday. Did till 1am and I could not sleep well cos my mind was on the report, thinking whether I missed out anything or was there anything else I could improve on. This morning, I literally jumped out of bed at 9+am to look at the clock. I thought I was super late for work. I was going to brush teeth and get ready for work then I realised that it was a Saturday. My god... I need a break badly. Looking forward to the Deepavali week, it's a 3-day week for me!
