Ugly Singaporeans also.
I might be considered one by many, especially those who frequently complain to the forum in straits times, today etc. I happen to fall in that age group. People complain we don't give up our places on buses and mrts to those for are in need, being too rowdy in public, misbehaving in public places, even to the extend of having police patrolling after 11pm to send teens under 17 home. The most recent will tammy incident where there was a big hoo ha about the issue. Moral disintergration, values of teens changed for the worst are vey common comments about teens nowadays.
Ever wonder why does these issues about teens happen? i sometimes too, think about why some teens are behaving as mention above well some teens are not like that. Take for example, comparing tammy, a nyp student and maybe me. I was once talking on a phone with a friend of mine and my friend ask me if i have watch porn and alreadi lost my chaste. I was like HELL NO!!!! where in the world did u get this idea from. The reply came as a shock to me, my friend, Y, knew many people who did the 2 actions above and i was throrughlly shocked... and to add on to my shock, Y said that those people were younger than me...
Before more comments on that, read the following paragraph and tag me if you got anything to say:
1.
During a peak hour train ride, i was standing near the door with 2 heavy plastic bags. I was unable to move in anymore. At aljunied mrt station, i knew that there were at least 5 people who wanted to alight and being at the door i knew i had to step out of the train to the platform and allow those people to alight. And with a stroke of bad luck, when the train came to a stop, in front of the door on the platform stood 3 primary school girls from the school next to the mrt and one of the girls mother. At the instance when the train door open, the 3 girls rushed in and one of them even used all her might to push me aside so that she could get in. This girl's mother was no better. I nearly fell over as i was preparing to step out of the train into the platform with my 2 heavy bags. After all the 3 girls and the mother got in, i was too schocked to move at all, and the last lady who alighted at Aljunied even scolded me for not having the iniative to step out of the train. I was fuming mad and another lady beside me was like scolding the lady who scolded me. To add on to that, they were talking at the TOP OF THEIR VOICE, irritating me further was that the girl who pushed me, the mother i was talking about was hers. What do i have to say?2. On the morning train to Bouna Vista. At Kallang a few people got in, of which one was a lady who was very trendy in her dressing with dyed hair but she was old as i could see her face. No one give up their seats (all who were sitting were working adults in suits and jackets). At City Hall, there was a man who alighted which means that there was an empty seat. I was about to ask the old lady to seat when a younger lady behind me, actually rushed to the seat, saying excuse me and pushing me slightly. I was speechless and i want to voice out that what a rude person, see old folks also rush for seats. But i did not as she was much larger and taller than me. BTW, THIS LADY HAD AN LV HANDBAG, IPOD AND A NEW MODEL OF NOKIA HP!!!!... SO RICH GO AND TAKE TAXI LA SINCE U SO DESPERATE FOR SEATS!!!!!!!! The old lady was struggling to prevent herself from falling down everytime the train stopped. Sigh... and guess what, the younger lady is working at a MNCs (multi-national coporation). What an example to set for me... To add on to my disgust, she alighted a few stops after city hall (before bouna vista) ... and at Raffles Place, someone alighted and an ACJC boy gestured for the old lady to sit and was so thankful to him...so if u have any comments on what these 2 incidents mean, tag me... i will, in my next blog, blog what i feel about these 2 incidents to illustrate my point.
