So I was feeling pretty darn reluctant to go for research today because, yknow, IMRE is super duper far from Pasir Ris >< and also because today is my off in lieu day and yet I need to go out and face the world ;_; haha sorry for the exaggeration but really. The world today wasn't pretty. I mean the weather was wet and cool so that was nice but it ends about there.

Wanted to buy Burger King today because I had beautiful cheap coupons but it wasn't open at 8am so I ended up buying expensive Macs :(

Here comes the part which really bugs me A LOT EVEN WHILE I'M TYPING NOW. So I was waiting at the train platform behind this Malay woman and another woman, say X, came and stood behind her (which is sort of beside me). Yeah I'm totally cool with that but some asdfgh woman, XXX, came and cut in front of woman X. Still pretty fine with that because those stuff do happen and we aren't really particular right? But nooo, woman XXX had to tell the Malay woman (in that kind of 'atas' tone) "Excuse me please let the person inside alight first." Again, that would have been fine to me too if she had said it in a nicer tone and if she herself didn't cut in front of someone else. It's like pot calling the kettle black. Stop correcting someone if you yourself did something wrong without admitting or even saying sorry.

Maybe I'm just feeling a teeny bit racist? Just because I defend my race. Hahaha no I think both are in the wrong (the Malay woman did stand right in the middle of the door), just that I'm emphasizing more on woman XXX.

Wanna know why? Because in the train I ended up sitting between both of them and it so happens that woman XXX keeps 'accidentally' bumping into me like a thousand times (exaggerating but yeah) without apologising. Also, yknow those kind of peope who sleep and end up swaying in all directions? Yeah woman XXX did that, but only in my direction, annoyingly. And all this lasted more than 30mins. I know the trains are packed during peak periods but please, control yourself. Disgusting hair one thing, but more importantly, graciousness. Is it so difficult to say sorry to a stranger?

And what did I do? I pretty much just shrugged occasionally when she ended up sleeping on my shoulder. Nice of me to hold my tongue to tell her off.

OH AND DRAMATIC EXIT: Stood up and pretty much banged her bag against my thigh. Thanks a lot but you're supposed to leave your attitude behind when you're an adult, what more when in public.

This is pretty much why I hate public transports. The commuters. Some, not all. And yes, I take the train twice every weekday, busses thrice or four times. I'm not some kind of spoilt child being driven to everywhere so I know. Many other people know what I mean too but ohwell just decided to blog on this because it really gets under my skin. And I don't have much to do in the train because I can't sleep with this large discomfort.

Okay I'm in a better mood now, a guy sat next to me and doesn't infringe what little personal space I have.

Disclaimer: This post is entirely from my perspective, I obviously did not ask what woman XXX or the Malay woman thought and I know my assumptions may not be accurate.

And retribution: On the way back I infringed someone else's personal space while sleeping - I'm sorry!!
