Train woes.

I am forever gonna keep my eyes shut on the sub. Goodness!

Lucky me managed to get the two-seater left-hand seat on the sub today. As usual, I slept like a log. But when the sub hit City Hall, I woke up to see an old lady board. Instinctively, I shut my eyes again (The journey's really long and really tiring. Forgive me.). But my conscience got the better of me, especially when she stepped on my foot by accident and I had to open my eyes to see who the culprit was. When the sub got to the next stop, I stood up and gave her the seat. But just as she was about take it, this other lady, who just boarded the train, started lowering her body to the seat. I was like 'What on earth...', so I tapped her shoulder and very firmly said "The seat is for her." and indicated the old lady to her. So the other lady got up and let her sit. And just as I was about to try sleep-standing, I took a closer look at the other lady and CRRRAPPP!!! She was OLD too!!! She was EVEN OLDER. She had white hair!!! And to compound the whole thing, she was of a different race! I was like 'Oh, good Lord!'. (I didn't notice it before because yours truly just woke up and as usual, was oblivious to everything and anything under the sun.)

So yes, I'm NEVER ever gonna wake up when I'm on the sub again. And no, the option of me standing for 1 hour plus does not exist (Try travelling from one end of SG to the other end 2 times a day, every friggin' weekday and you'll be able to empathize with me.).
