It was really a blue Monday for MM. We can tell that from her half-dead body language when we greeted her at the door. Thinking we might be able to understand, she shared with us the inconsiderate yet funny acts by some train commuters on her journey back home.
1) The Scaredy Cat
Miss Sexy Cat listened to instruction to hold on to the railing when she was on the moving escalator. However, at the end of the moving-up passage, she still grasped the railing as if her hand was glued onto it. As a result, her act almost caused "a little traffic jam" for there was a line of people standing behind her on the same escalator! Miss Scaredy Cat should she be!
2) The Bookworm
Hordes of people were rushing in and out of the train interchange at the peak hours. Yet Mr Bookworm could still wriggle his way slowly in the crowd, with his hands and eyes fixed onto his book. He was totally oblivious of his surroundings. He should count his lucky stars that he was in a busy passageway, but not on a busy ROAD! Anyway, we must say that Singapore's Reading Campaign is actually a great success!
3) The Lovebirds
No wonder there is such a saying "Love is blind". The lovebirds held onto each other tightly, as if nothing in this world could separate them. Even when the whole world slowed down behind them (actually more like due to them), they just had each other in their eyes. Who said that "Romancing Singapore" only happens in the month of February?!!
4) The Loud Hailer
A loud hailer is a portable device whose application is to send a person’s natural voice toward a targeted direction for a specified purpose. Mrs Loud Hailer is born natural. She always forgets the volume level she needs to use in a certain environment. To her, LOUD is default. LOUD is good! Perhaps she does not believe that a small mobile handphone is capable to convey CLEAR messages over a distance to the other party. Or perhaps she is just happy to share the gossips or the best served bak ku teh and rojak in Singapore with everyone in the same space. Hmmm... what about sharing some reliable information on how to struck a little pot of gold? It will be a immense solace for the working ants, especially after they have known they most likely need to work till a very dark golden age in the future.
The above are just MM's little grumbles. Please bear with her, just as we always do. After a good rest and a yummy dinner, she will be back to her normal self again. But somehow, Frankie and I are glad that animals are not allowed to take public transport like MRT. Can you imagine how stressed it will be on our little bodies and minds to go through such a situation? Mmm... Is Singapore really a gracious country after all?
