*rubbish succinctly put

always loved being in moving things. something about the constant change of environment and the therapeutic bumpbump rhythm that brings this somewhat calming effect unto me. absolutely have no qualms taking the bus even if it takes a longer time than the train.

ahh, the train! the train on the other hand. to be specific, the morning rush hour trains. it's a different story altogether. no, that particular mode of transport does not calm me at all. i'm actually quite suprised there's no one form of violence breaking out. and somehow it becomes perfectly alright to invade another's bubble of personal space, reducing perhaps a 50cm X 50cm space to a resemblance of vacuum-packed,sardine-canned people. they feel completely comfortable pressing their bodies into complete strangers just to get into the train. oh do not even suggest waiting for the next one, because the others who have managed to squeeze past you using their elbows or snubbing your little toe will just give you the OH-i-earned-my-place-so-you-can-wait look. Thank God most people shower in the mornings or atleast smell better. may i emphasize MOST. there was once an individual who decided since he was tall enough he could raise his arms to stabilise himself by supporting the ceiling (which serves the purpose of supporting him) i shall not try to describe this person as i might come out sounding like some racist snob, but omgosh please do not ever put me through that again. i had to skillfully maneuvre using hockeypockey moves to atleast turn my head from the aroma. another thing is HAIR! why do people think it's alright to stick their hair into your face? PLEASE TAKE YOUR SHOWERS IN THE MORNINGS. it perks you up! eeks. ok i should stop.

having whined and complained i've concluded that i generally just dislike the train due the the associations i've made with it to the rush hour crowd.

ME LIKES SCENIC TRAIN RIDES STILL. like those in europe :)

i do not abhore public transport though, i'd say many things have happened on busrides. especially with good company and stimulating topics! classic moments!

( 1. the shock-and-horror when we discovered we've been "bad-mouthing" and dissecting a person from the past was sitted right behind us! oh ofcourse we tried to hide.

2. having "guyish" conversations that are oh so shallow and will cause eavesdroppers to turn their heads out of curiosity

3.heart to heart talks whispered silently lest strangers eavesdrop )

just to name a few. oh and even if there's no company, it's a great time for reflection.

on an extremely happy note, i'm stopping work next friday! no more morning madness trains for me... cant wait cant wait..

so much to do, so little time.

i've been getting the weirdest cravings!!
