Down with a headache today, I went home the moment lessons ended. As it's early i hoped i could get a seat on the train & sleep for a while. Yes, i did get a seat. Unfortunately i was beside an irritating fat woman (who looks 30+)who took up some space of my seat. The moment she sat down, she started chatting on her stupid hp. From what i heard, it wasn't any work or business dicussions. Just a normal chat (read: gossip) punctuated occasionally with a loud "kena sai!"
She really irritated me, esp. when i'm already in a bad mood from the headache. I fantasized myself telling her "U kena sai ah!" & stuffing her hp into her mouth. Fantasy only lah! Finally i could take it no more, mumbled a "so noisy" & took out my mp3. I adjusted the volume loud enough to drown out her voice till i reach my stop before my ears turn deaf. "Deaf from mp3" sounds better than "deaf from kena sai voice", right?
Singapore should learn from Japan. In Japan, nobody chats on their hp on the train/buses. And their hp are all on silent mode. U'll see pp sending/receiving sms but no irritating ringtones coz it's all in silent mode on public transport. There're signs on trains/bus to put hp on silent mode, so as not to disturb other passengers.
Even when trains/buses are packed, it's usually very quiet. Passengers either read books or sms or simply look straight quietly. Friends talk to each other softly too. But in Singapore, some idiots even hold mini concerts on trains! And other idiots shout across seats talking to each other on the bus. Irritating!
