Just recently , I had adjusted my working hours--- till later
I found out that I can come as and when as I like as long as I will able to complete the duty for that day. (bleachz ---flexible hour la)
Hence, I am going to wake up at 9am or 10 pm in the morning , preparation and reaCH outram at 11pm or 12noon.

Reason : to avoid the MRT crowd

Everyday , especially the morning from 6am to 9.30am or evening 4.30pm to 8.30pm (or more), I will occur certain type of people that is noteworthy.

Before starting a busy day at work , I had already wore out by my transportation.
Why why why ?
Study below the types of people I will have to overcome and conquer everyday

The first in line are the "Drifters". Imagine standing behing the yellow line waiting for the train. Somewhere, somehow, when you least expected, someone will silently and slowly drift in front of you, making full use of the narrowest space between your feet and the line to mark their territory. Simply awesome man.
The authorities should seriously consider recruiting them for special ops missions.

That's not the worst, people actually dare to stand in the middle when people stand at the side will staring at him/her. Normally those people are aunties or uncles or elderly. What's more , stand at the middle , ignoring the yellow line. (comon the government spend so much $$ to pain our floor bright bright for wat ?) Okies, nevermind, when the door opens, ppl from inside will rush out like madbull rushing.

Those people who stand in the middle will realised that they can't move in directly . Heck! Then this is what they will do; they give one big step to the side(where I am standing )and 'BAng!" they push and knock me to the further back after stepping my toe (ouch! FREE FOOT REFLEXOLOGY is it? Thank you so much , I feels so good all over my body already.). They just don't care!
What's more? The people inside rushing out, once more, knock me unconcious.... (yea, free full body massage )

You know , while waiting , I can't help to think what evil plot is the person standing beside me is harvesting la.. it is just too competitive !!!!!

The second group are the "Rugby players". I tell you, this group will put the kiwis and springboks to shame with their instinct and quick reaction. Expect a titanic clash everytime the train doors open.
I will take a deep breath and count "3...2...1! BRACE ,BRACE ,BRACE!!!!!!!BRACE FOR THE POSITION !!!!)
The people on the outside and those on the inside will clash and scramble like there's no tommorrow man.

THE GREAT NEWS - The person who standing furthest away from the yellow line got the sit. Me, standing at the nearest yellow line ... left stranded (T_T)

Great worldclass sportman can be audition from those selected group of people; people who always "coop" the best position - The edge just beyond the yellow line (better still---those people in no line ! In the middle, obstructing the traffic flow!)

Sometimes I am so amused by the adrendaline of those desperated pax who wants to chope a sit in the peak period. To them , it is such a intellectual strategic sport.

There are elderly who looked frail and walking really slow with stick. Once the train heading towards east comes, they started to run (walking really really fast)to the train and managed to coop a sit. My lst reaction is " marvellous! bravo !BUT BE CAREFUL! " @.@ YooooOooo... Marvel Marvel !

One time , I saw a man stood up at a station he is going to alight and immediately ; "pump!" a slack of newspaper flinged by a old man 1,5 metres away from the crowded train to the sit just before anyone could sit on it. Then , he moved slowly towards the sit and sit down. People just amused and stared at him. I want to laugh leh..
I am stunned coz I am amused at his such desperating, crapping, creative method to chop a sit,in such an extend.I called it a " frisbee game".

Just one recent morning , 2 china couple fan two vacant sits immediately after 2 pax left. I turned my head to see y are they not sitting down ... and saw the show.
after Finished fanning, they used the newspaper to slap the sit few times before they sit down. WAHHHHHH!

The MRT plasma Tv that shows the time arrival of the MRT is a big 'flat' liar. Sometimes I feel that is it just a consolation to ever time- lacking SIngaporean. It's a psychological stuff.

The Board says " 3 MINS" - ----- suddenly it turned 2 min and a few sec later ---1 min ---train arrived
The Board says "1 mins" -------- The train arrived 3 mins later ..or more
One more thing -- the lighting of the new MRTs is so bloody-eye-shot bright like sitting in the class III fumehood in the biohazard lab. Evil conspirary isn't it by the designer of this type of MRT? TO MAGNIFY and LET PEOPLE SEE HOW DULL AND BLACK UNDER EYE CIRCLEs WE have AFTER HARD day WORK? EYE pain wor!

Sometimes, i ponders , wonders ... look at the MRT scene " ISn't a magnifying but small version of good example of "The fittest will survive" game?

Really , people will only demostrated their talent, skills and intellectual when their survival is been threatened.
