strange despite me growing up.
train rides have been inspiring.
i have been able to break down
People into some categories,
altho many others seem to fall out of
these 3:
the weekday morning crowd,
the Not So Civil crowd,
and my personal favourite,
the saturday evening crowd.
the rest of the world that
are tentatively unclassified
would be either the Too Rich For Train crowd,
or Would Rather ride the Bus crowd.
weekday morning crowd
is a bunch of frowning office people
who
really don't smell bad.
so i don't mind the squeeze
but they are
very bent on clustering as close to
the door as humanly possible.
it is tragic that some of us don't get
to turn up in office punctually as a result
of their reluctance to stray beyond the
entrance.
they like to arm themselves with
a novel because, i guess,
standing is not their idea of doing
anything.
favourite spots
for this crowd is where
the glass window is in full view
and one is able to ensure that
hairdo and makeup is intact throughout
the train ride.
Not So Civil crowd, i don't like very much.
they don't even bother to pretend to be
good people by ignoring The Elderly and
The Heavily Pregnant.
i don't wish to dedicate too much blogspace
to them.
also, they sometime smell bad,
sprint into the train before people
get to alight,
and chat too loudy, forcing nonsense
into our ears.
the saturday evening crowd
is a bunch of excitable people who get
a high in participating in the squeezing
into the Train.
they come from all walks of life,
and they release all the pent up
emotions of the workweek in this
train ride.
they cannot quite grasp the
concept that physical beings like
ourselves do not compress.
they show this by forcing themselves
onto trains that are already
uncomfortably full.
they usually have the door closed
onto them, or their behinds,
their bags, what nots.
if they are children,
more often then not,
they wail.
if they are couples,
more often then not,
they get raunchy.
if they are a group of boys in
school uniform,
more often then not
they smell.
i love singapore.
