[SG Talk] Silly Experiences + PDA Views on the MRT [Archive]

Today, when I was on the MRT to Orchard, I was so occupied with my thinkings about my assignments that I didn't notice the train started moving. When it picked up speed, I was unprepared so that I almost fell down. I quickly held on to a steel pole and stepped hard on the floor to sustain myself, but unfortunately it wasn't the floor that I stepped, it was someone's feet :oops:

I don't know how the Singaporeans can be so strong on the MRT. They don't even seem to need to hold on to anything and they can stand still without falling just like that when the train moves and stops. Maybe their feet is strong because they go around everywhere walking eh? Meh, I have to hold on to the steel poles when the train moves and stops, or else I'll be falling down to the floor :cry:

Also, yesterday there were three couples on the MRT, hugging and kissing each other when the MRT was full of people. Oh guys, have you got no shame? If you want to do some romance then do it somewhere else, not in public... :-x

*My first stint in the SG threads... tee hee*

I actually came in to vent about PDA (Public displays of affection) cos its a pet hate (so call me a bitter old woman :-P). Ass-grabbing, hoover-macking, parts-fondling, eyes glazing and grazing, continuous pecking, oh, and of course, full-on-sex, is just inappropriate in-front of everybody. GET A ROOM! Or a sheet... we don't need to know, and my stomach can't bare it

Silly experience on MRT:
- My mum (Asian) likes to speak English to me (Asian) on the MRT, in Taiwan.

Welcome ColaPop, hope you'll enjoy spazzing with us in the Singapore threads :happy:

Haha Bluechaos, most of the time I also do not hold onto any poles in the MRT. I usually take the trains at peak hours so there isn't space to move around too. I guess I managed to do so by putting my weight on either the left or right sides to even them (Hmm, I don't know how to explain :sweat:)

PDAs are so common now. Well, practially quite used to it already. I guess Singaporeans are getting bolder and more open-minded. :brows:

I used to stand for the whole journey from my place to workplace in mrt. Because it is often during the peak hours and there are no seats. That's why I was "trained" to stand without holding on to anything. Its just about balancing ourselves. But nowadays, due to my extremely early working hours, there are plenty of seats available for me to sit on. So i was dozing off most of the time. :sleeping:

I definitely have lots of difficulty balancing myself. I had quite a few experiences of losing my balance! So embarassing!@!I think buses are worse than MRTs. At least for MRT, certain routes are quite "smooth". But buses.. sigh... if the driver is like rushing for time or don't know what, it just jerks nonstop.

I too think couples should not like be too fond to show off their affections. Not very nice on the train when everyone's looking.

Sometimes it's quite nice to take the MRT. Can observe many people haha..

Oh do u guys ever give up your seats?

Wendy

04-04-2006, 02:31 PM

Ermm.. well... yes. most of the time. I just gave up my seat to an old lady today. :-) The ppl around me were just pretending to sleep or just ignore the poor old lady. :-x

Pei!!! You are here! *starts to go crazy and hugs everyone, no matter she knows them or not*What silly experiences? I can tell you all the creepy ghost stories!

Balancing act? I can do it on heels. I can do it and pose in a very diao way. Next time, if you guys take the MRT with me. Just watch. When the train shifts wildly, I will just shakes with it, with both my feet still there, sticking onto the floor.

04-04-2006, 05:24 PM

Yoohoo! It's has been a long time since I've posted in this Singapore sub-forum! Hahaha...

Hmm, sometimes I find it quite difficult to balance when the train starts moving, especially when it's crowded and there are no poles around you for you to hold on.

This happened to me once when I was out with a guy whom I had a crush on. :shy: I was SMS-ing and really engross with the conversation when the train jerked to a stop, and I lost my balance and almost fell to the ground...right in front of him! :oops: Gosh...it was really embarrassing and I almost wanted to dig a hole for my head to hide in it. :D

DragonPrince

04-04-2006, 05:35 PM

Guys, if you really have difficulty doing the balancing act, please do something to save yourself. Do not keep your hands to yourself, just hug something you think you will like. Or

DO The Pole Dance!! *drools*

LOL...
i see alot of new people..
hi Pei, no_pride :wave:

hmmm... i'm quite experienced at standing without holding on to anything..
yah.. like most of everyone says.. it's mostly about balancing.. well.. unless maybe when they have some sudden stop or brakes very hard :sweat: then i might lost my balance.. >.< so i'll just grab whatever that is near me.. namely a cute guy?? :excited: haha...

aigooo.. PDA... -.-ll
i'm quite fed-up with ppl who does that too.. (hops into the same boat as Pei).. i really don't understand these ppl.. don't they knw what's the meaning of the word shameful?!?! have they ever thought of others ppl stomach might or might not be able to take it??
Come on... we don't wanna see R-rated stuff.. keep it behind your bedroom/motel room/ inside your car..

*abit off-topic..
u knw.. last Sat, i went PS to get sth.. and knw what i saw??
A couple kissing openly on the bus stop infront of the MANY MANY ppl..
mouth to mouth for quite some time :glug: don't they have better place to do it.. -.-ll i was really tempted to just stand infront and see what they will do summore.. :bleh:

BlueChaos

04-05-2006, 06:02 AM

Hahahaha, so many people doesn't like PDA too eh? :bleh:

Maybe because it's due to my heavy backpack that I find it hard to balance myself. I must be sure that I will not fall backwards, because if I do, then I'll crush my laptop :oops: Well, I'll just do the pole dance and leave the seats for the old ladies :rolleyes:

liwei_jay

04-05-2006, 06:18 AM

LOL..
i understand..
of course.. with your heavy backpack there might be difficulties in balancing..
but you're carrying it on your back.. should helps you balanced more?? :bleh:
haha.. just need more trainings..

pole dance?? :drool:
i think WY will like that alot..
*off to holler for WY.. * :brows:

Hey liwei_jay, Stary and WY!! *bounce bounce*

PDA Hahaha... as a deterrent, you call attention to their behaviour. For example, loudly inform to others "Wow. Look at the way his hand is on her thigh/breast/ass". That way, when said offenders give you evils, you can innocently protest "Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you wanted people to look".

I think the balancing just takes practice. When I used to take the school bus, we had to cram in and stand for the whole ride. After 5 years, it's a piece of cake.

I don't know if this counts as a 'silly' experience, and it actually happened on a bus, but this random guy started talking to me and I was dead tired from work and not in the mood. But he rants on about how he's a dog collar salesman, and I took the bait. I thought to myself, "what are the chances, a dog-collar salesman?! Lucky lucky me". So instead of avoiding him, I talk to him. Ask him more about his job. Blah blah, minutes later, he's asking for my name and where I live, and I tell him I'm not comfortable divulging that info to him. Then he gets stroppy with me, to which I reply that there is no need to be rude nor sarcastic, and spend the rest of the ride ignoring his comments. I re-told the story to a friend later who said she felt awkard just hearing it, and she wasn't even there. haha.. how funny if you were a passenger on that ride? Cos, thats all passengers do.. mind other peoples business. There's nothing else to do!! (thus making PDA even worse). Not a 'silly' experience, but definitely uncomfortable and random.

liwei_jay

04-05-2006, 09:47 AM

Pei!! :bounce:

maybe we should start a topic on PDA :whistle: (ppl might thought we're talking about the electronic thingy, PDA.. :bleh:
sigh.. i really hate it when ppl PDA.. e.g. kissing, hugging intimately or touching intimately.. -.-ll
couldn't they just do it in private.??
well.. i do agree with your method.. since they're doing it in public that means they wants ppl to see rite??
so what's our fault.. if we did commented loudly or really watch? :shifty:
i usually watch very openly, u knw.. if i'm alone.. cuz couldn't comment mah.. so.. i'll just stare and make it very awkward for them.. :bleh:

sometimes.. i have this itch.. :brows: that is.. if i happen to saw this with a guy.. to copy it.. and show them what they're doing.. how :rasp: they look.. LOL.. just to spite them.. haha..

DragonPrince

04-05-2006, 10:06 AM

I really hope the Singapore forum will turn out to be a LQP forum.
What? PDA in MRT? Is that a new MTV fantasy? (See how it ryhmes)

icetears-

04-05-2006, 11:11 AM

hahahas liwei, i ALWAYS have this itch. lolol when my friends & i see such stuff in the mrt or bus, one of us will nudge another & then the whole group of us can`t help but keep looking at that. & sometimes, we really do imitate them :X

BlueChaos

04-05-2006, 11:33 AM

Changed topic title, because we seem to talk more about PDA and because PDA itself is silly, it fits to be merged inside this category.

Well personally I find it interesting to watch PDA actually when I'm bored, stressed or just need something to refresh me after a full day of college work. Cheaper than renting a R-rated movie and since they don't mind people watching... :D BTW, I just want to ask, is there any law in Singapore that governs against these kinds of things? PDA fine $1000 perhaps? :bleh:

piglet

04-05-2006, 03:44 PM

hahaha..

bluechaos:Fine 1000 bucks~good one..maybe besides that food/drink/flammable object, they shall put no kissing (Fine $1000) .. that will save many embarrassment~

so sad to say..i cant seems to balance myself during train ride with my heels..i need something to hold on..or better still, seat!!! hahahah

TRUTH

04-05-2006, 03:49 PM

The worst thing is that PDA is happening around teenagers!!14 to 15 years old!!Irritates me a lot!!Why can't they just check into hotel 81 and no one will care!:rasp:

BlueChaos

04-05-2006, 03:53 PM

bluechaos:Fine 1000 bucks~good one..maybe besides that food/drink/flammable object, they shall put no kissing (Fine $1000) .. that will save many embarrassment~
I just couldn't stop laughing when I read this. The $1000 fine would be perfectly fine for those doing PDA in the MRT, because those couples doing PDA are getting hot, so they ARE flammable objects, are they not? :bleh:

Or maybe they make us blood boil hot, so they are flammable material or hazardous items, too :D

Starylosophy

04-05-2006, 03:59 PM

Hmm by the way guys, to what level of PDAs you think are acceptable?

Like kissing on cheeks and little pecks on the mouth will that be too much?

Starylosophy

04-05-2006, 04:16 PM

Nah, I don't have a bf right now and I don't do all these stuffs at all in the public when I had a bf about 3 years back.

Just a general discussion, hehe.

Imo, I feel that the above I've said is rather alright. As long as it's not those very intimate stuffs I guess it's pretty alright :sweat:

DragonPrince

04-05-2006, 06:05 PM

I will rape a guy in a forest, if you don't want PDA. I don't want a PDA, I want a laptop, a cute little boy as my laptop.

I think you can see a lot of those on Valentine's day. I agree that these couples are flammable objects. I have to extinguish them before I get burned too. No wonder Singapore is so warm most of them time. Blast them.

liwei_jay

04-06-2006, 01:30 AM

LOL...
hmmm... changed of title here, i see.. :hmm:
PDA added in.. :brows: good job, BLue..
then we can officially talks about PDA.. :brows:

i don't think ppl would get fined for all these.. :rolleyes:
unless SG goverment is really COLD...
well.. maybe if they really do the ACT in public.. maybe they will get fine??

Starry..
i think that pecks and a quick kiss is fine..
but not those lingering.. :shifty:

well.. let me ask you all back..
what do you guys thinks of the couples who wrap themselves with each other.. like they couldn't leave each other like that.. u knw.. parts to parts.. -.-ll

-----------
*off again*
there was once.. i was off work and riding bus 51 back to queenstown..
and it was a double deck.. quite empty i would say on the top deck.. ard a quarter of the no of passengers on top deck seats are filled only.. all scattered.. and most r in front or middle..
other than this young couple.. who's stil in sch uniform.. -.-ll
guess what they were doing..
yeah.. kissing.. and hugging all they like at the back..
without caring what others think.. -.-ll
i was like.. "wah piang.. this is a bus le.. maybe i should go down and tell the bus uncle... **evils** muahahahaha... "
and when i alight the bus, they were still going at it hotly..
and whoever it is.. polled that SG ppl actually has the less no of sex-making in the world... :whistle:

Personally, in my country at least, in public the most you can do is hug your partner in the back (hard to find the words for it - you know, walk side by side and wrap your arms around her). If you hug your partner real tight or do a kiss on the forehead, people will start staring at you. If you kiss your partner on the lips, others will say "OMG", and if you start "touching" your partner, most people would very likely call the security to throw you out of the building, bus or whatever it is they're in :D

In Singapore, I think a light hug and a light kiss in the cheek and forehead is still okay, since it's a more open country than mine. But not the kind of hug where they're like squeezing themselves into each other's bodies. That's horrible. And sure if you ask them why they do it, they'll say because the MRT is too crowded and they do it to conserve some space for the others :bleh:

Starylosophy

04-06-2006, 04:20 AM

Hmm, BlueChaos how do I address you?

Which country are you from? I guess Singapore is really opening up much more. 2-3 weeks back there were reports on 18 out of 20 teenagers (Ages 15-18) engaging in sex at least 1 time per week.

Erm, is it alright to comment on such sensitive issues? If not I'll edit my post.

BlueChaos

04-06-2006, 04:33 AM

I'm from Indonesia. You can call me either Blue or BC, C is okay too. Since now almost all the Singaporean members are using two letter words as their nicknames (like those WY, ZY and -Y -Y people), I think I'll just use BC :bleh:

As for the issue, I don't know how is the rule around here, so I'll just let it pass for now.

Oooh..
i can assure you very much that the place isn't so cramped that you gotta crushed to each other.. :shifty:
it is surely due to their own consent..
nothing to do with the environment.. :dry:

What? A kiss? Did anyone ask for it? I will be so willing to demo it for you. Cameras, roll please. Ok, new MTV,action!

Sorry, I was dreaming again. Not enough sleep.

BC? I will so willing to be the opposite, AD. Ok, I will call you BC or Blue.

I was quite angry today... I was buying a watch at Toa Payoh bus interchange (at one of the temporary set-up stalls). But i need to wait for the lady to adjust the length for me.

Then, there is this family (they don't look like locals to me, but definitely is Asians) came and stand right next to me to look at the watches (not bothering to say "excuse me" or what). Firstly, I don't like strangers to stand so close to me, secondly, I hate rude ppl! But this is still ok, out of politeness, I stand aside and allow them to move closer to see.

BUT, at this point, the mother (who was standing right next to me), kept flinging her hair behind her back, and it often swept on my arms. It was so irritating. So, I had no choice, but to stand further away to wait for my watch to be ready (which was taking ages!)

After I got the watch, I gave her a hard glare at her and swore under my breath. I went to dis-infect my whole body the minute I got home today. (well, that was exagerated.. :p) But I really can't stand this kind of ppl!!!:-x

Whoah...
Wendy calm down.. *passes cold drinks*
hmmm.. i don't like it too.. when ppl squeeze too near..
especially old mens.. -.-ll
not trying to disrespect olders or what..
man.. u should see how they like to actually bump into you just to "touch" you..
:shifty: and pretend it like accident..

i kinda hate it when some1 else hair kept lapping at me too.. :P
although mine's long hair too.. but i make sure i don't flap it at anyone.. :bleh:
i dun think it's that long to be able to flap anyone.. wahahhaha

can i add on the list...

i hate it when people are sitting so "comfortably" and actually taking up the seat next to his seat...and poor me..sign~ i prefers the new train..at least its spacious..

i hate the morning crowd..hahaha..so sorry..enough of my rants!

DragonPrince

04-07-2006, 04:59 PM

Wendy, so sorry to hear about the incident. I think you should have called me to molest rude people. Now, I have a new service. I can molest both sexes for you.

My sister also hates people who stands too close. I think its better to hire a body guard to protect you, Wendy.

Piglet, what rant? I love to console people. I don't mind listening.

---------------------------------------------------------

My sister (whom I think is very desirable to some men<-thats kidding) has met up with a few sex manic in her office. There is a guy, real name, Scott Chua is a bi-sexual. He finds both girls and guys very attractive. He not only tried to harass my sister, but he tried to do it to many people too. He even touched and spanked guys butt before. He touched her hair and pat on my sister's head. He stands very close. When he finds that you could have some trouble using the computer or report, he will try to touch your hands by using your mouse. What I am saying is true. I am not kidding.

I asked her to report it to the police. She reported it to her supervisors and found out that many people were his victims.

My sister works in S*S. Go and find it yourselves which company is it.

Now, she finds another sex manic who Msn her with disgusting emotion icons. There was this thing with a tongue that looks like its trying to lick ....you know what. My sister told him off and he said he did not know what my sister is talking about. He claimed that female and male think differently, with that answer, its very obvious that he knows what my sister is talking about. He is known as, real name, Dennis. He adviced that there are many people in the world, and its only right to accept him and accept people like him. He even touch my sister's hair. She blocked him. But he will come to her and spout nonsense. He do wrong things and send 'sorry' messages through the MSN, and did not dare to say it in front of people. He will claimed that he is a 'dirty young man', instead of the old one. That stupid jerk!

I think my sister should report it to the police. What do you guys think?

BlueChaos

04-08-2006, 04:50 AM

Thks! LW. I really can't stand ppl standing too close to me or worse, sitting very close to me in MRTs. i got some bad experiences whereby the ppl sitting next to me fall asleep and leaning on my shoulders. I normally would jerk them awake by pushing them with my shoulders. But there was once, which this guy who was practically leaning on my shoulders, no matter how I jerk and push, he won't budge at all. I had no choice, but to move away from my seat.
Wahahahaha. What happened then? Did the man fall with a loud *thud* when you moved away? :D

I don't like people staring and watching too close too. Imagine when I was writing an e-mail, a friend of mine practically stand behind me and looked at everything I typed. I told him to be off nicely one or two times, he didn't move, so the last time I lashed out at him and embarassed him in front of people (like "get your own laptop, you mo-fo thing" :bleh:).

And about hair lashing, well one of my friends also do that all the time and might as well ask her to wipe the window with it. It's so annoying...

Okay we're going out of topic now, it's not MRT talk anymore... :oops:

Wendy

04-08-2006, 05:14 AM

Ermm.. sorry if we were going off topic.. cos i was too fed-up yesterday with the incident, need to vent out my frustrations.. u see?

Yah, i also don't like ppl staring at my monitor especially when i was chatting through MSN with my friend. An ex-colleague of mine often does that. Cos I was at my office, and she was sitting just next to me, and whenever I was at MSN, she would keep reading what I'm typing. Like she's trying to "supervise" what I'm doing. So sickening, man.

DragonPrince

04-08-2006, 09:21 AM

Off topic? I thought its about silly experiences and also PDA on the MRT. Its silly experience and/or PDA Views on MRT. Choose one.

TRUTH

04-08-2006, 11:50 AM

The posts in here are getting much more interesting!
WY!I don't think its proper to name people in a forum,what if they take legal action to you....oops!I forgot you will 'kill' them!
I also hate it when someone is looking me msning!!My father always does that!!:-x

DragonPrince

04-08-2006, 05:36 PM

Hmm...I think my sister would like to know what she can do. Oh, help, people.

Keith, I don't care about that. Come and sue me if you have the money.

----------------------------------------------------------------

I have encounter so many silly, disgusting, crazy things on the MRT.

This morning, there was a 40 something year old man (I don't think he is local) was shaking and jerking his head wildly when the MRT was shaky. Was that Earth shattering? He dug his nose, threw it on the floor and wipe his hands on his forehead. He was reading newspaper at that time. When he open it to read, he leaves no space for anyone to sit beside him. Come to think about it, who would like to sit beside this kid of person?

There was a pretty lady who once sat in front of me. When she held up her pinky to dig her ears and nose and wipe in on the hem of her shorts, I felt digusted. How can a pretty lady do something like this?!?! No shame.

DragonPrince: is that missing letter 'c'.. hahaha..so sorry, i liked to play hangman! hahaha

anyway guys, do you all happen to pass by Raffles MRT during peak hours? you should really see the power of 'office gang' there..once the train open..they can squeeze and push~~ for what?? for a seat.. *slapping my forehead*

so, tmr will be a brand new week..*monday blue

Wendy

04-09-2006, 07:47 AM

I used to take train back home from city hall after work. They also push and rush in the train without saying "sorry" or "excuse me". I don't understand why they kept doing that. Its especially irritating when I am stand right at the front and I got to wait for the alighting passengers to come out first. And those ppl behind me kept poking and pushing me to get in the train without letting ppl to come out first.

Idiots..

BlueChaos

04-09-2006, 08:35 AM

Yeah I hate that too. Why don't they give the passengers chance to come out first before they come in? One day I had a very silly experience, because the passengers who wanted to board the train kept pushing and pushing, in the end those passengers from the train can't get out before the door closed so they had to go to the next station and come back one station.

Idiotic people.....

Wendy

04-09-2006, 08:42 AM

Er... well.. I didn't encounter that b4 though.. but often I see ppl running or rather "sprinting" into the train when the "door-closing" sounds. that's so dangerous... in the end, the train gotta open and close the doors again.. thus wasting like 10 precious seconds of my time. imagine if i'm already late for work, and yet this kind of stuff happens all the time... so "bek-chek" (frustrating). :-x

TRUTH

04-09-2006, 10:48 AM

I tell you something so frustrating!!You know that you are suppose to give way to people alighting right?If you don't,people will go tsk tsk or get irritated,but this man coming in didn't give way,and even went tsk tsk!I really want to punch him!!:chair: anyone seen more irritating people than that?:-x

Another incident today...

So I went to the MRT this afternoon carrying my heavy backpack, and suddenly some kids started running around to the MRT and bumped me on my left feet which almost made me lost my footing and fell to the floor. Fortunately, I managed to reach a pole and maintain my balance. When in anger I glanced at the kids' direction, other passengers started staring at me. What? Because they are kids you they can just bump on people like that. I think it's because I'm still a 20's guy right? If they bump an elder I don't think people will stare like that. They will even emphatize and help the elder I think.

Are kids allowed to be in the MRT without their parents? Sheesh...

DragonPrince

04-09-2006, 05:36 PM

BC, I feel for you. Why must it always be you who has to fell onto the floor? Your girlfriend must be feel hurt to see you like this.

Parents thesedays don't know how to teach. I have seen too many spoiled parents myself.

WY..
i think you could ask your sis to save up what-ever perverted conversation that fella send her through msn..
as for the physical stuff.. >.< i guess she'll just have to avoid the fella when things get out of hand..

:sweat: there's this dirty men (one of my supervisor) who likes to sit near near to me everytime i'm discussing planning with him.. and sometimes he would gimme those lecherous look and then find ways to touch my knees/ pat it..
most of the time i would just move away or use whatever i have in my hand to slap him away.. sometimes he's so annoying that he ask me for kisses.. :wacko:
darn fella.. most of the time makes me feel like wanna :chair: him..

BC..
i think ppl are always like that..
they felt that you're a young man.. should be very fast and agile..
and they were just kids..
BUT if you were an old man.. ppl would of course :-x at the kids... cuz old man's clumsy and when fall will hurt alot.. LOL..
this is life, man!! :D

Ahh, thats right... If forgot. Last time I addressed this thread I lost my post (opened too many windows at once, bad multi-tasker) & ran out of time to re-post.

When in anger I glanced at the kids' direction, other passengers started staring at me. What?
I would have done the same thing in your situation. Given filthy looks to the kids. It's so dangerious too for them to be playing about like that... what if people were trying to get off the MRT and one of them pushed into an exiting passenger and they fell? I wonder if people gave you looks because they feel your just making the disturbance even bigger? I'm not saying you are, but sometimes a pebble drops in a pond, and some people would rather ignore the repercussions... hmm. Monday morning... I'm talking in circles today

WY The two lecherous guys you mentioned... *lol* I love that you used their real names. Even including their last name!! It's like a FBI wanted list, and you're trying to warn the citizens of JCN incase they come across those guys. Hahahah~

Thanks for all who talked about my sister's case. I had told her that people share some experience too, and responded to her case. She is feeling better now.
----------------------------------------------
My Muslim friend told me that its not illegal in Singapore for Muslim man to marry more wives, if the wives (wife) gives consent to the husband. My friend, who cannot give birth, tells her husband to marry another and even force him to, telling him that she don't love him anymore. Little that she know, her husband feels that she is noble and refused to marry another. Thats so sweet.
----------------------------------------------

There was a smelly man who sit one seat away from me this morning. Oh, that stench. It really make me almost puke on the spot.

Yesterday, a group of schoolgirls did not wait for anyone to get off the train and rushes in. They have a lot of things with them and just went pass me. All the pushing and knocking makes me that I am pinched from all sides. (not besieged from all sides, well, almost)

(trys to bring everyone to the main topic)

Don't you hate it when people try to take a photo of you in the trains? There were two guys. I think they are from Nanyang Polytechnic (judging that they look very young and they get on the MRT at the Yio Chu Kang station, its the station nearest to the polytechnic). One of them was reading the newspaper and the other started to play with his handphone. Then, the one who played with his handphone started to 'aim' his camera phone at me. As he tried to take a closer view by zooming, I looked into the camera and stares into it. Guess what? He got frightened and said sorry (he was sitting opposite side of me). Later, he got ashame of his actions and keep speaking to his friend, who was still reading the newspaper. A few moments later, when we are a few stations after, this camera boy held up his camera again. I used the same method to let him know that I know what he is up to. When I reached my destination, without a hint that I am leaving (e.g. pack my bags or search for ez-link card), I left the scene very fast, like suddenly.

I hate camera phones. I hate cameras. I hate the paparazzi. So young, already a dog. So sad. tsk...tsk...tsk...

WY, you'll better be careful of these people. And of course all the girls wearing short skirts. Though I love the function of cameras in hp, I hate that people are misuing them.
WY, most likey you appeal to the guy taking you hur. You must be really pretty :brows: And I don't think that will occur to me.

In case you don't know, I don't like wearing skirts. The big reason is: I am afraid those wolves will try to look at some other things, if you don't sit properly.

Appealing? I hope I am. If not, my father wouldn't pray for me to get a guy. I look like a boy at that time, with my uniform. I am nothing appealing to a guy. Let alone being beautiful. I am ugly. Its hard for a girl to look like Jay.

Starry, don't say it too soon. There are a lot of crazy people around. Its better to look around you to see if people are messing with you or not.

Yesterday I saw some real PDA action, but maybe it's my fault :oops:

So with my friends, from the backpacker hotel we're surveying on we went to Merlion Park on Fullerton at 2 am in the morning. As we talked, a couple in our right began to move from just very close hugging to mouth-to-mouth muach-muach-munching for about 2 minutes, wow! But yeah, at 2am it was very dark and no one was there other than us, so it's the perfect place.

Fortunately they didn't do more than that, if they strip I'll tape it with my handycam :D

My previous post has got deleted for some reasons.. (i don't know why), but its ok, doesn't matter.

Anyway, ladies or let your lady friends know that they must be really careful when taking public transport. Because in one of a newspaper article that I read (some weeks ago), there is this pervert who purposely aim for ladies to take their picture with his camera phone in mrt. He then send it to the "victim" or anyone near him who's phone has bluetooth function. People will receive the message and starts to look around to see who's the one sending it. He gets the thrill when nobody knows that its him, because there is no indication of the sender in the message.

Psycho, right?:-x

i'm part of one of those couples who do PDA, guilty, guilty i know. but i don't see why it's so terrible. if people want to make out in public (which i don't do but don't really care about) then let them, other people can avert their eyes. why would seeing a real couple be uncomfortable if on tv and in movies there's people who have sex all the time?

but people who use camera phones and take pictures of girls = gross.

About PDA,well i don't have gf but i think its not easy to kissing or hugging on
public places :shy: if peoples are happy to do that then let them happy why should we bother :tongue:

It is better to keep quiet and be thought a fool, than to open ones mouth and remove all possible doubt.

LW, it's really better to just turn off the bluetooth by default. That way you're blocking virus, worm and whatever people might sent you. And oh yes, it conserves battery life too, and your life too because you turn off the radiation from the radio signals.

This does not happen in trains but its happens in the MRT station. I almost always got squashed by the MRT gate. The one that we scan our ez-link card to pass through. I think I must have the wrong timing. Luckily, I am slim enough to get through after I got caught by the gate. Is that a punishment for not practicing enough for the game 'London Bridge is falling down'?

yah.. nowadays.. i'm so careful that i leave my hands on the scanner so that it will keep the gate open.. >.< but what if i forgot to retract my hand le?? :bleh:

------------------------------------------------------------

Do you know anything about the hunted MRT stations? I don't know if this is true. But I think there is no need for my friend to tell a lie. Like BC, he is an Indonesian Chinese. He witness this incident when the train was leaving Novena MRT station.

There was a man rushing to the MRT when the doors are about to close. He board the train in Novena station. A few moments after the train left, he was like a child, screaming and rolling on the floor!! And later, he sat there saying something no one could understand. We suspect that the child ghost was asking for his mom.

My friend was sitting very close to him. That man was just right in front of him. He did not know what to do. A lady pushed the ...I don't know what you call that...emergency speaker button? Its on the top right hand corner of every door. And asked for help.

The sercurity came and looked at the man. The man suddenly, was awake and gave a blank look. He was shocked to know that he was sitting on the floor. When the guards asked him what happened. He didn't know it too. He stood up and left with confusion and embarrassment.

The funny thing is: This friend of mine felt honored to see someone uses that button. We have been for so long in Singapore and we have not seen anyone using it.

Wendy

04-22-2006, 02:46 AM

That was really scary.. I don't even dare to take the mrt when i was going back late at night. I would rather take cab.

I never witness someone pressing the emergency button, but sometimes I could hear the "driver" of the train talking through the pa system asking "Is there any problem?" it was like maybe, someone was pressing the button in the train. but we could only hear the "driver's" voice, we can't hear someone reply to him though.

Well yeah, if you press it and they decided that you misused it you pay $5000 so why bother? The lady who pressed it was lucky she was not fined for misuse when the guards could find nothing wrong. Same thing happens here, rather than posting something risky and get a deduction in reps, I'd rather play safe. I'd wait until the life-risking moment before I press it, but I'm sure by that time everyone will know something's wrong.

Of cuz i knw some of the mrt stat are haunted.. *shudders*
sometimes u can "see" sth in the train too..
i never though.. my youngest sis did..
it was kinda eerie.. since it was late night.. we seldom took late night train..
i can't remember what was the ocassion.. BUT we did.. and sits rite near the back cabin..
she says she saw sth she isn't suppose to see..
no one dare to ask her what it did though..
or how she knew it's something non-humane..

04-24-2006, 04:11 AM

We had read so many ghost stories in Singapore Ghost Stories. But we don't know for true or not, these things are real. I have never, in my life come across anything of another world.

It would be scary to witness someone falling onto the train tracks and get clashed in front of you.

I only saw the belongings after that. Last time, I used to have off days on Wednesdays. If you had known, there are a few incidents like that (killing themselves by jumping onto the tracks and get killed by the train.) happened in Bishan MRT station. When I reached there, I only saw the aftermath, so 'after' till you can't see the corpse. I could only see the belongings or remains. My mom would always alert me about all these, since I mostly travel via the MRT to work or have fun even on my offdays.

What I heard about Bishan MRT is that, there will always be a ghostly couple at the last/first cabin (is that known as a cabin, as in parts of the train?) when you take the last train. It has never happen to me before. I have never seen it even I took the last train.

BlueChaos

04-24-2006, 04:31 AM

Hmmm, I thought the rate of accidents for Singapore MRT is very low? Well then I better not use the MRT too late at night. Else something might happen to me, I dunno... :oops:

The scariest thing that can happen is if it happens like one of the horror books I've read. Around midnight, you have to come home by MRT, and you're on the MRT platform alone. There comes the train, and you get in. You find it strange that almost midnight the train is still crowded. Then slowly, before your eyes, you see that the people change into spirits, skeletons, still talking to each other like nothing happens. You suddenly realize that you are the only living being inside the spirit train, and you must find a way out before the train reaches the final destination, realm of the dead. And so you know that, if you fail, you will suffer the same fate as these people you see, they were trapped by the same way as you did, and they failed to find a way out, before it's too late...

Goosebumps on the MRT ......... B.C. Stine 2006 :oops:

DragonPrince

04-24-2006, 05:06 AM

Yeah, its creepy. After I watched the movie 'Creep'. I begin to wonder if there are anything living with our trains. I doubt it, since most of our train tracks are not underground.
After those incidents, some train drivers slow down a lot when they are stopping at the Bishan MRT station. I think many people will like to kill themselves there because its hard for the train driver to see what is going on when the trains (from Marina Bay to Woodlands direction) when they are coming out from the tunnel to the open tracks.
Its definately more scary than the PDA we see onboard.

liwei_jay

04-24-2006, 05:49 AM

04-28-2006, 02:53 AM

Hahaha... we got so off-topic. And yet, it all goes back to the MRT & PDA in the end. Somehow...

I'd wait until the life-risking moment before I press it, but I'm sure by that time everyone will know something's wrong.
So you're hoping someone in the group will take action before you need to? Hmm.. I'm pretty sure most people know of group-dynamics from psych studies? How people have been raped and killed, with many people in units nearby who could hear the commotion, but everyone "hoped' someone else would take care of it. Also, why leave dealing with life-threatening situation to the last minute?

WY I would love to push those intercom buttons. It's the big PENALTY. sign that makes me wish I can...

Judes PDA. I get that I can avert my eyes and that just because people are in public, doesn't mean they should stop being affectionate to one another. Its when the PDA is taking action on a crowded bus, in-my-face. If I look to the left, there they are. If I look to the right, the reflections on the glass still show them *suck suck kiss kiss ass-grope moan*

*shudder* haha... its my inner prude bitchin'

BlueChaos

04-28-2006, 06:45 AM

Really, it's because we don't know how strict or how lenient they will be with the penalty. How if we think it is an emergency situation but it's not, and they decide to punish us all the same? So it's better to wait until a real emergency appears before I push it, no?

But in the rape or murder case, since there's no penalty if I jump in rather than my own life, I will help.

Wendy

04-29-2006, 05:14 AM

BC, in that case, we should be able to deduce whether the situation is emergency or not.

i think it should be simple enough to tell what an emergency was.
ie, when a person suddenly got a stroke and is dying.. That is what we call an emergency. And don't worry, i think they will be reasonable enough to tell whether u are pressing the alarm in such cases or is just playing a prank. Because the penalty is there to stop ppl to play stupid pranks like this. They won't punish ppl for no reason. :D

BlueChaos

Me: *press emergency button* Help! Help! Someone is dying here of heart attack! Help!

Afterwards...

A man: *gets up* Oof... nah I'm okay now... I was just choking, no problem...
Me: ............

And the officials come, think I am kidding and tell me to pay $5000 while the man keeps silent :whistle:

when the train is crowded, there is no point broadcasting that jingle "for the convenienceof all passengers, please move towards the center of the train"..they should use: "for the convenience for all passenger, please wait for the next train", there is no point to squeeze..it's so uncomfortable and delaying everyone's time..

but speaking back, that day i waited for 4 freaking trains because i dont want to squeeze with them.. ><"
