The great singapore sale
After today's shopping, I alreayd decided wat i wanna buy. A pair of Esprit pants for $89.90, a tube top from Esprit at $29.90 and Esprit 3 quart at $69.90. Cam u hear it? My bank account is crying out ! Stoop spending! BUt the thing is..i haven bought any clothes recently..really time to get some new ones..(esp after i cleared my wardrobe of those moth-infested or mouldy content :D)..Mammy, pls dun scream at me the next time u c my bank account...i will work longer hrs to put those $$ back...
And today, i witnessed the most uncivilised action from THIS supposedly-educated-and-civilised-working-class-but-dunno-wat-happened-to-her-manners-and-attitude lady. The train was really packed (as usual, singaporeans only get to shop till they drop on days labelled as PUBLIC HOLIDAY, how sad) and i was standing near the door. There was tis family, the dad was carrying the shopping bags, the mum was carrying the youngest son and the older daughter ,mayb ard 4 yr old was left,of coz standing on her own near the door as well. She kept complaining to her mum her feet really hurt and she wants a seat (and as usual, singaporeans r really not tt cool bout giving up their seats for someone who nids it more). The mum could do nth coz the train was really packed! like sardine cans kinda packed. So the gal squarted down at the corner of the door so she could rest and she wouldn't block anyone's way. And guess wat happened? The train stopped at Aljunied and THIS lady apparently forgot she has to alight or smth. When the "door closing" beep was ringing, she suddenly remembered she has to alight or smth, she started dashing for the door. "GET OUT OF MY WAY LA!" was wat she said as she pushed and shoved thru the crowd, kicked the little gal at the door, and literally stepped on the poor little body. JUST BECOZ SHE WANNA GET OUT OF THE TRAIN. crap. really. shitty manners. She din even say sorry, she din even look back at who she kicked. She juz dashed out and cursed REALLY loudly bout how singaporeans always like to clog up the door. HELLO! WHO'S THE RUDE ONE ARD?!
A couple of passengers pulled the little gal up including me, a young teen and a young blond tourist. Who says youngsters nowadays haf no heart? Who say we r aloof and dun bother to offer help?
Gosh. There are times when i m so ashamed of being a Singaporean. This is one of those times.
