she wants to go home.,

I ran for the first time in many days today.
But perhaps yesterday was way more eventful than today cos it had something to do with an article I read in the papers earlier last week by neil humphreys about how wonderful it is to be in singapore where one can ignore cries of pleas and rush past ignoring the weaker members of our society. (disclaimer this is not a xenophobic rant or anything just a mere observation)
Yesterday I saw for myself, 2 incidents that showed the ugly side of Singapore. No.1 was when we were aboard this crowded train. It was at Outram Interchange when as you know lotsa old folks boarded, and a 50+ year old man was guiding 2 old folks of about 70 yrs old at least to the centre of the carraige. Then like almost magically everyone's head slumped down and started to drift off to lala land. Damn epic seriously.
And most of them aren't even Singaporeans. Why are our people marginalized because we have wasted spaces on inconsiderate people like these is something I cannot fanthom. So anyway after about like 1/2 a stop later a woman's conscience started to prick her and she got up to give up her seat, seeing that the person beside her gave up her seat i guess the other woman had no choice but to give up her seat too.
That was episode 1.
Episode 2 was like less than 3 hours later, also on an MRT this time at Outram (OMG ALSO?) purple line, previously green. Somehow it was the peak season for our construction workers to go home in droves and so they decided to squeeze themselves into the train headed for punggol despite blaring announcements overhead declaring that the train was overcapacity and they had to wait for the next train. But did they relent? No, they pushed on like creeps in TD heading inside the train. as a result the train jammed in the station. for like almost 10 minutes apparently.
Cos i got onto the ooposite train headed for vivo then there wass this old lady narrating her horrible experience on how the same train apparently left the station minutes ago then started staling mid tunnel and stoned for a few minutes. everybody panicked cos there was not announcement or anything, and more whining about how lousy was the quality of service of the train providers ensued. then horrors of horrors the train started to gos stan and return back to outram ftw and that was when i reached the scene apparently so they definately have been stuck there for 10 minutes or so.
Tell me again, why is our rightful space so difficult for us to enjoy? please give more frequent trains
Definitely one of my favourite coverers on youtube totally love her voice and style. i like this version of tiktok waaaaaay more than the original. Found her through scouting for good paramore covers hahahaha
