I dislike taking the train. Maybe two of the things I like about is, train is faster, and some of the subways got the movie feel. That's all. I detest the feeling of being touched in squeezy trains as I need alot of personal space. Moreover, I can't sip a bit of water whenever I feel thirsty, let alone eating. Which is why I would love to spend more money on bus concession and bus fares, because in buses, I get to sit on a seat most of the time without being too close to other people. I can get to see the scenery when the bus is in motion. Take a look at little things in life, birds, squirrels... small things are so insignificant and yet their presence can inspire me sometimes. I love to do some reflections, think about stuff and all by myself. And also on trains, our locals' bad habits and ugly side are easily visible, which I don't really want to see that so often.

Now, why do I start this random topic? Because today when I board the train, there are so many inconsiderate and gan jiong people in every cabin who refuse to move to the centre of the train. I can understand if there are people like me who needs to be near the door and get off the next stop easily. But look, it's from Bukit Batok to Jurong East, surely everyone or majority will have to get off the train. Why can't this people move in and let the others near the door have more space? And there was this guy in a very weird position, the whole long arms stretching in front of me wanting to grab onto the pole when the train ISN'T moving. So my head can't go into the train. When the door closes, my head almost got knocked and kiap-ed by the closing doors... Luckily I have fast reflex.

Tak boleh tahan...
