2 weeks passed by very quickly especially when u're enjoying all the good company (my gf and my family) and all the yummy SG FOOD! You guys and gals should know all about the yummy food!!! (Unless of coz... u ain't a sillyporean or must have been living in a hole somewhere all along in SG!) And due to that I had bad sore throat and is sick upon returning to Brissy.
I both loved and hated the time i was there. If not for the yummy food and family, it would have been an altogether totally negative event (and also because got a bit of haze lah). I've seen all the ugly sillyporeans in full action. Really i myself see liao also pai sieh and worst still i started becoming like them without noticing! Took a little self evaluation to wake myself up to reality...
Aunties urging their kids to cheong into the MRT train when the doors open and 'chop' seats. People squeezing out folks that wanna come out and still people doing "pole dances" in the MRT train. The situation seems to be alot worst than a few years back. Sillyporeans on a whole seems very preoccupied with chasing the dollar and keeping themselves up to date with the most trendy of gadgets. One new event i've seen is people actually playing songs loudly on the MRT trains thru their phones and acting 'blurr'. Has public space really become a free for all without having concerns for your fellow sillyporeans in the same train?

You are right. (The MRT shoving, public transport nuisance syndrome) That is one thing that really annoys me, but who am I to educate them. There are signs everywhere, there are recorded messages that tell you to be nice.
Good role models, and Education are perhaps keys to changing this behavior. Singapore is becoming so competitive, but hopefully our next generation will be brought up differently.
Have hope that ideals of chivalry, honesty, good manners and respect won't go down to the beasts straining to get out on the otherside. Yet, it can only be up to us.
Let's show the way. They can push past us, let them go. They'll learn eventually, when they find that they are the only ones pushing in a more gracious society.
