I am sure many of us who took MRT train will know how fucking crowded it is at certain times especially if is peak hours, during weekends or holiday period.
Well, I was travelling towards Outram Park MRT station from Tiong Bahru Station today. And I was kinda shock that it was extremely packed at 1.30pm. When I boarded the train, I seriously have to squeeze my way in. NOT because I want to be an Ugly Singaporean and being Kiasu. IT IS because people who are inside do NOT want to move in further and I am very near the fucking door, I might kena kiap. Call me paranoid BUT it did almost happened to me before. Yeah, is nothing new that the MRT trains are getting more and more squeezed. By right, I SHOULD have gotten use to it.... Sigh.
And there's where the ''FUN'' part starts. I am VERY aware that I have a young child (maybe Primary 3??) and her mother behind me (I presume they are S'poreans). So being a mother she is trying to protect her daughter from people who push around and might accidentally hurt her. If I am her I will do the same too. What is ridiculous is she keep using her arm to push my back AND I have no where to move away cos I am already very near to the door and surrounded by an old man and there is a old lady on my left side behind me...and I can't take it any more, I made a remark something like '' Stop pushing me, no space already''
Obviously the mother shot back at me saying that her daughter is behind me and IF I AM A MOTHER I WILL UNDERSTAND. The last part got me very annoyed, so I shot back: " I am a MOTHER too (bluff one lah)! I know your daughter is behind me, don't worry I won't push her. There are many people around us.'' The mother still not happy say something back which I don't remember, damn it but I replied her: '' Please, the train is so crowded, what IF other people pushed me? Then how?'' And she keep quiet and I have reached my stop and I alighted.
Yes. Very stupid I know (-_-)'' I am at fault too. But I can't control crowds or part traffic, human traffic, in this case. How can I guarantee I won't accidentally hurt other people .i.e step on people's toes or push people.. especially kids or old people? Or worse I am hurt by others.
I am laughing at myself now for being silly earlier...FML. Seriously the Gahment should do something to improve the current situation of overcrowded public transport (buses and MRT trains). Is like everywhere I go and any time, always crowded.
Maybe someone took picture of me already and post online to shame me but lucky I am in sunglasses and dress all black... Ooops =X
