(Construction Cranes) (S'pore's National Disease)

(on the way back from bedok reservoir during xcountry 2010)
On the bus, I met the really annoying Singaporean woman. The bus, understandably at that time, was flooded with Rafflesians drenched in sweat. All the other commuters lived with it with the "oh-ok-this-is-just-an-isolated-incident" attitude, but this specific woman was so irritated she screamed at the top of her voice. She was like, "HEY PLS MOVE TO THE BACK.. THERE ARE SEATS THERE CANNOT SEE MEH?" ok, there somehow were an empty seat, but to get there required much difficulty! So many people in between... We were already trying our best to move in!
I am certain that if this woman were in a bus full of employees coming home from work, she wouldn't have screamed. What is this, she can look down on us and boss us around because we are students? We were trying as hard as adults to make life easier for others. (except for the empty chair part, that was everyone's fault. But maybe we just wanted to give the seat to someone who deserved it more) Come on, Singaporeans, COMPROMISE...
Yeah and that typical example of queuing up to enter MRT trains. I've noticed that this is not a myth nor is it a gossip, it's a fact. They JUST DON'T WAIT for you to come out. What do they think will happen? DUDE, a monster's gonna gobble you up if you stay out there? Oh come on...

-Ziren.

Looks like being rude, selfish and ungracious is Singapore's national disease after all.
