bunch of weirdos
Ok I was pissed.. now I'm not. Let me recount my day choronologically...
Today is supposed to be the start of the study week, but because my Statics and Mechanics tutor couldn't finish discussing the tutorial question, therefore we had to go back to school today. Hmm now then I realize I could have skipped that cos I did my tutorial perfectly... ok great, I'm so confident and proud with my Mechanics, one less module to worry about.
After lunch with Hong Jun and Wei Chuan at arts canteen, I went to town in search of konjac jelly... (just because I couldn't find it at King Albert Park Cold Storage yesterday... see? I'm so determined) I went to Bukit Timah to take bus 171 instead of taking bus 10 all the way just to get back some old memories... when I was in The Chinese High the way to Orchard is either by bus 171 or 174.
So on the journey I saw this disgusting guy... he has everyone of his 10 fingernails coloured with black nail varnish and his hand was wearing some sort of barbed-wire-like accesories. What the hell... super deviant lor... males wearing ear rings/studs is already deviant in my eyes, this guy is worse. Burn me, hang me, whatever you want to do on me, deviant. ~_~#
So I went to Isetan supermarket at Shaw Tower, thinking that a Japanese supermarket should have konjac jelly. The problem is.... I can't read Japanese, and the jelly there just don't look like konjac ones! But the coffee collection there was really killing me... and yes! I saw big cookie tins of Oreo!! How I wish I'm rich, then I can have all the snacks that I want. Don't worry, I CAN'T grow fat.
Disappointed, so I went to Market Place at Raffles City. Damn it, you know what happened, they were renovating the supermarket!! I should have visited Market Place at Paragon... so disappointed again, I made my way to Campers' Corner to check out some climbing gear... then, illogically, went to Cold Storage at Funan to see if I can find the konjac jelly. (by right if this branch doesn't have, the others shouldn't have right?) And you know what? I found it!! Sigh... people must be wondering why this 20+ year old boy is searching for snacks...
Ok here comes the pissing part.. *drum beating...* I went home on bus 851, and got myself a seat in that crowded bus. A few old men boarded a few stops later, and I offered my seat. (grin grin) But the younger old man took it before the older old man.. poor thing. Am I very sadistic to let 2 old men 'fight' for seat? Anyway ended up all the old people alighted earlier than me (with more old people boarding..) Ok so I stood against the window. Then a big size lady boarded the bus, and you know what? She lean her gigantic butt on me.. what the hell, I know I'm rigid like a pillar but still..... (I think a hot babe would make hell lot of difference) Then a young, beautiful pregnant lady boarded the bus, and people were like looking at her as if she was some new found speices in the zoo... Someone left the seat and a ~50 years old lady, who was sitting beside the now empty seat and was one of the eye-power people, reserved that seat for her buddy to shift over.. freaking hell, the way she was looking at the pregnant lady with those eyes of caution, I really wanted to take my Nalgene bottle and give her a few slaps.
Now I'm thinking, if I had sticked on to my seat, I could have offered that seat to the pregnant lady. I really wanted to ask her if she needed help to find a seat, but I didn't have the courage to do that... stupid me right? I realize there is a limit to how much an individual can do. Given a choice, I would rather offer my seat to a pregnant woman than to old people. Firstly, a pregnant woman holds 2 lifes. Second, old people usually don't give a damn to your "kindness". Not saying we want to be acknowledged for it, but don't u feel like taking back the seat when you see their stuck-up look on their wrinkled face?
Ok I'm just pissed off with the eye-power people. Pretending to sleep isn't as bad as looking with freaking curiousity.. as if they think it is just a shell on the woman's stomach. Damn it I'm so irrational!!

i pity ur blog, so many posts, no comments, so I will comment.
So far the old people I have given seats up to are nice and always refuse to take my seats although they'll still sit in the end coz I insisted. No stuck up face so far. Haha, I think I'm lucky.
Seriously, I haven't seen anybody who pretends to sleep when they see a pregnant lady or old people on the bus. There are tons who juz look away though. Some people are just like that lahz. Reminds me of something that people have been talking about: to be offered a seat on a crowded bus is a privilege, not a must. Sparked off by a letter written by a woman to straits times. Still, taking that comment into consideration, I'd still feel slightly irritated too if somebody didn't give up their seat to a person in need. (hey, that rhymes! cool!)
The 50-yr-old probably has never been pregnant before, btw...
Did the lady get a seat in the end?

ooi don't say like that lah, it makes me feel pathetic (could have been insulted if not believing that u are a nice person)
Your blog also has no comment mah (ok ok an eye for an eye makes the world go blind)
It is true that comments are the motivation for the blogger, but that is just superficial motivation, cos I know that there are people who read but don't comment. I myself also have the urge to share the things in my life, my feelings, my views... etc, so, don't comment just cos u pity this blog.
Comment cos your fingers are dying to type something!!
(no no i'm not angry, i'm defending my pride.)
oh the lady got her seat when the bus was kinda empty..
