affairs.

it's a sunday and i believe many people out there are enjoying their weekend break. haha, and i am going to work later. omg workaholic? you haven't seen the worse in Singapore.

after this 3 weeks going on attachment, and the early morning rush to Novena, i observed something unique about us Singaporeans. this is a truly only "Singaporean trait".

no, it's not the way we gathered around the entrance point, leaving no real space for alighting passengers, then squeezing in the last person available into the sardine-packed mrt train. you should have seen videos about the railway of India and China. they even have people just holding onto the handle, and the rest of the body sticking out. haha.

neither it's the way you see how we can be the Oscar winner for slping, ignorant scene on public transport. no don't thing too in depth about it. what i meant is passengers who are sitting acting to fall asleep when they see someone who is more in need of a seat, or passenger fighting to rush to a vacant seat against the needy. these people disgust me. my friends should know i will offer my seats(don't laugh, i'm serious) to those in need. oh well..

and no, it's not how we people can queue for free stuffs and wait for so long, yet complain when they have to wait the slightest bit of a second. it's like you see a loooong queue at JE mrt station, outside the popular there. in the end i found out that they are queuing for Today newspaper. and i mean, you can choose to buy alternatives like ST, which is better. it's just a small portion of your pay. we just love to "gian peng gian sai" i guess.

but all the above mentioned are not the real "Singaporean trait". what is the real unique thing about us, is we can have all the behaviours(including all those which i'm too lazy to type) in one body, and we tend to perform it extremely well. haha. despite the diverse background and homeland we came from, we manage to find the common identity of Singaporean. haha, nowhere in the world can you see people like us having this trait. oh and did i mention, true Singaporeans are able to speak a lot of different language. like me, English, Mandarin, Malay, Indian, Teochew, Canto, Hokkien and others japalang languages all rojak together. hah! not to mention Singlish.

okay that was a real random post. it's rather long so take your time to read it again while i may not be able to blog for this coming week. cause mon there's MC meeting, tues and wed i'll be working since seng also working, thurs i'm going on a one day puasa(hopefully i can tahan) and break fast with shidah&co. all these after my regular hour of attachment works. haha. busy man? i duno. till then lah hor....
