Rude people on the train

Picking off from my last entry...

I was on the train last friday, after work with Uncle Moh, as we made our way to Orchard. At City Hall, we alighted to transfer to the North bound train. Being a Friday evening, most of the people would take the time to unwind after work in town... and most of the kids would seize the opportunity to chill after a week in school... So naturally, the trains are packed to its brim... So here we were at City Hall waiting for the train to pull in... I couldn't help but taking notice of this lone fella standing behind me, who was talking to himself... Not in the MAD kinda way... But he was muttering things like... Singaporeans blah blah blah in the train... Blah blah blah... In a rather haughty American Accent... Sounds like he some punk who just stepped out of college, dressed in work wear... Ok... He might not be local... Was a little irritated already... The crowd pulls closer as the train pulls in... I could almost feel his breathe on my neck... And it wasn't pleasant! The train stops moving... and the doors open... Ok... Typical Singaporeans... Most of the folks up front rushed into the cabin... Pity the poor lady who was like pulled back into the cabin, as she tried to make her way out... Nevertheless... She did eventually managed... And that's the time when Moh and I boarded the train... Into the tiniest bit of space left right at the door... Good thing we were both very small in size... The door closing chime started... Ding dong... Ding.............. and right at that moment... The KUTU-HEAD who was standing behind me earlier... Just shoved me forward to make space for himself... [ READ: SHOVED - Def: (shv)v. shoved, shov·ing, shoves v. tr. To push forward or along. To push rudely or roughly. ] And that sent me falling on the Shocked Ang Moh woman infront of me... Well almost... HENG UH! After I recovered from that rather unglam thingy, and the STUPID COW made his GRAND Entrance... He said... "That's life, Dude." Good thing I was facing away from that IMBECILE! Would have punched him... Being dissed already... I replied... "WELL, for certain, Life doesn't come around and push people in their backs! HOW RUDE!" and I turned around and glared at him... Maybe, I might have looked really pissed... He left at the very next stop. Good thing too... If he thinks that the trains here in Singapore, during peak hours are bad... He really ought to try Hong Kong or Japan. Hope he falls into the tracks and gets run over by the train, the next time he tries to push his way into the cabin...

Ok... That's my entry on Rude people on our trains...

Got to go and makan dinner... Oh ya... One last thing... It's Uncle Moh's B'day tomorrow... HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOSS!!! Coincidentally it's Jason Neo's too... HAPPY BIRTHDAY AH NEO!!! And it's Patrick Ng Y. M.'s B'day TODAY... HAPPY BIRTHDAY PATRICK!

Ok... That's all... TA TA!
