Wow. Two posts in one, single night. This calls for....ok, before I digress, let me pen this down.
Something about me that some of you already know. I get motion-sickness when I sit in cars, buses and ferries but never in the train. I LOVE riding the train. I mean, you get to people-watch, and most of all, I don't get motion sickness. And, for most parts of my travelling in Singapore, trains ARE faster, and since I'm quite directionless, a train station is like an oasis presented to me as if I were in a desert.
So, I'm sure most of you have also heard about the gal screaming at her boyfriend in the train towards Admiralty. So since, we're on the topic of trains, I'm not really going to comment on her because I know most have already commented/take a stand/voiced your opinions/wrote an article about it so I'll save my breath.
I just need to say this.
I'm NEVER sleeping/dreaming/being blissfully unaware in the train ANYMORE, because apparently people are taking videos of aunties digging noses la/making spoofs of uniformed girls even to the extent of a 2-min video of a couple sleeping in the train, apparently they were taking too much space on the train (so, they took 3-4 seats, blog about it, not take a video! -
and there weren't really many people in the train anyway - but that's not the point).
I mean, if you think that I'm naive, ignorant and stupid to not realize that these things ARE happening in the train, I dare say you're absolutely right! What about all those times when I dozed off in the train - and by that I mean huge head-bobbing action, swaying from left to right! Somebody out there could've taken a photo of my un-glam state. (ya right, they've probably uploaded it by now - some might say, but again, that's not the point)
There are so many videos out there, and we're only talking about train rides.
The point is, people are way off their nannies here if they defend themselves by saying it's a public place, it's their phone, or whatever la.. It's a totally invasion of privacy. I'm not saying I'm for digging noses in public (baby, I'm NOT!), but c'mon, even the auntie does not deserve that extra mile of humiliation. (i mean, of course she was asking for humiliation by digging her nose in public first, but I bet a million dollars that if you asked her, she'd probably think its an ok thing - bless her)
So, to all the nose-digging aunties, earwax-picking
ahpeks and all other eccentric individuals out there, I'd say, you don't deserve the extra mileage of humiliation that that video produced for you.
URgghh, eewww.. I cannot believe I blogged a whole entry on nose-picking.
Ewwww.....
play it softly, so gently♥
