| 我差不多每曰都會搭LRT, 而且不經不覺就咁一搭就搭咗十幾年, 所以呢十幾年來可以話係見盡喺LRT內各種不同嘅人.. 由每曰差不多時間都會見到嘅熟悉面孔, 到一啲我本人覺得佢哋非常之騎呢嘅乘客, 其實搭車嘅時候無所事事, 偷偷地observe車廂內其他乘客都不失為一種消磨時間嘅好方法.. 之前提及過乞人憎乘客, 不過今日要講嘅呢一啲人唔就知道應該點形容.. 幾個乘客一齊上車, 明明係認識嘅, 但係偏偏又唔坐埋一齊, 跟住又要隔住條巷高聲交談喎!! 車廂內(除咗車廂因年久失修而發出嘅吱吱聲)一向都係幾安靜㗎啦, 突然有人高聲交談, 我覺得係幾騷擾囉.. 尤其係一啲你聽唔懂嘅語言, 聽得懂都暫且可以八卦一下交談內容, 聽唔懂就真係覺得似噪音多啲喎.. 其實又唔係街市, 唔駛咁大聲嘅, 況且俾全車人聽到晒交談內容, 會開心啲咩?? 我如果喺車廂內講電話, 都會避忌下啦~~ @_@" |
| i commute by LRT almost everyday, and unknowingly have already been commuting in this way for more than a decade, hence i can say that i have seen all kinds of people inside the LRT over these years.. from those familiar faces i meet about the same time everyday to some passengers that i personally think they are weird, actually when there's really nothing much to do in the train, secretly observing other passengers in the coach can be a very good activity to kill time.. i've mentioned about some irritating passengers, but i do not know how to describe these people i shall talk about today.. a few passengers board the train, they know each other actually yet do not want to sit next to each other, and once seated they start to talk to each other loudly across the aisle!! the coach (other than the squeaking sound due to the under-maintained old train) is usually quiet, when people suddenly talk loud, i would think it's quite disturbing.. especially when they are talking in a language alien to you, if they are talking in a language you understand, at least you can gossip a bit what they are talking, else it actually sounds more like irritating noise.. it's not in the market and i don't think we need to talk so loudly, furthermore allowing every other passenger hear what you are talking about, isn't any nice right?? even if i'm to talk in the phone inside the train, i would try to avoid being heard~~ @_@" |

Morning!!! Morning!!! =]
ReplyDeletegood morning Little Shadow =]
DeleteGood morning HS
ReplyDeleteGood morning ah boy and all.
Back to work lo today.
Lrt sure penuh this morning. After long weekend fwel lazy to wake up early
Good morning Meow! Yeah, sometimes it's hard to get back into the daily grind after a holiday. Trust you and family had a good offday nevertheless.
Deletehmmm, the LRT wasn't packed at all this morning, or perhaps i was late and everyone has already been to work?? maybe some are still on holiday, seeing it's almost year end and everyone started to clear leave..
DeleteHappy you sure know Meow well huh?? she sure has been to somewhere during the long break.. :p
Last time, I used to take LRT from Gombak to Bangsar. First station. Not crowded yet.
DeleteStill can jostle for seat and sleep all the way to my stop. Hahaha
i am boarding at the 3rd station, so sometimes if i'm not in a rush, i will take a detour to Gombak and stay in the train while it reverse direction (towards my destination).. like that guaranteed can get into the train and also have a seat.. :D
DeleteI do that sometimes. Especially boarding t KLCC or Ampang Park. The queue to KL usually were much longer so I'd ride reverse and then alighted a few stations after that just so I can ride in a near empty train.
DeleteWe do think alike! Hi-5! ;)
hahaha, high five!! and you know what, i will detour to stations that have connected platform (platform between two tracks), so that i do not have to get up and down and go to the platform opposite to go back to the reverse direction (tracks between two platforms), and if possible too, i also choose underground station with aircond lah~~
Deleteif not rushing for time then can do this la LOL.
DeleteRushing also can do if the station too packed and cannot enter the train already. HAHAHA
Deletesometimes just have to do that.. the train too packed until cannot get in also, might as well detour rather than wait.. but i think now with the 4-coach LRT, there is no such problem already..
DeleteGossip? Gossip what. This 3 ku 6 po is all ears.. what they talking about?
ReplyDeletehaha, that's why have to listen to what those 3 ku 6 po are gossiping lah.. it can be entertaining and amusing listening to gossips~~ :D
Deletehaha..those people don't mind at all so we can just eavesdrop la..
Deleteand the more excited they are talking, the louder they are!! so we can even hear them clearer~~ :p
DeleteWhyvthey not sitting next to rach other ah.. hmm...could be they know the hv B.O. hence sit far away :p just guess la.
ReplyDeleteArghhhhh typo *rach=each
DeleteI think there're no available seats next to each other!!! =]
DeleteI pernah one time, sitting in between a couple. They kept on talking while I was sitting in the middle. So I asked them if they want to change seats instead.
DeleteThey declined and continued talking! WTH???????????????
小影,
DeleteIf no seats also, have to be so loud and disturb others?
Anyway, SK did mention "they know each other actually yet do not want to sit next to each other, and once seated they start to talk to each other loudly across the aisle!! " this means they had the option of seating next to each other wor...
I've met quite a few crazies like that.
true, I would feel awkward if I'm sandwiched in between two people talking to each other.
Deletethere are plenty of seats and also joined empty seats, not that the train is packed with passengers, yet those people still want to sit separately and then talk loudly across the aisle.. really cannot understand lah..
Deleteand if i were Lina being sandwiched, i will stand up and instruct either one to change seat, haha!! there is no other options for them~~ :D
It takes all kinds. Loud-talking on the phone is something I don't understand too. I salute you for having to put up with all that. :D
ReplyDeletewell, it has been more than 10 years and i have already got used to that.. :p
DeleteWell, if not putting up with it, do what? Go scold them?
DeleteSeriously, save the blood pressure and just chill. Let them be and listen to some music better.
some people could just be plain ignorant of other people..
Deleteyes wenn, those people are really irritating.. and lina is right, complaints don't seem to work, so most of the time i have learned to give in, save my blood pressure and just relax with the way the bolehland authorities do things~~ :D
DeleteGood morning, SK and all!
ReplyDeleteI never like talking on the phone in public unless urgent. Usually I don't pick the call but I will return it asap.
Deletei will pick up the call immediately because the ringtone could be annoying to others.. i will not talk loud and also try to make the conversation as short as possible.. not good to talk in public and allow all to hear the conversation right?? :D
DeleteWhy you choose annoying ringtone ah?
DeleteBetter not let it ring and ring and ring when I'm around! Hahaha
I usually put my phone on vibrate when I'm out in public.
Deleteringtones are most of the time annoying when it came out of a sudden lah.. and you know what is my ringtone at the moment??
Deletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BDvrpY3yx4.. isn't this annoying enough?? muahahaha~~ :D
errr, i only put my phone on silent in the cinema.. still think it's nice to have ringtone when there's incoming call lah~~ :D
If my phone is on vibrate only, I'll be forever missing calls! LOL
DeleteI put them on silent mode only at places that requires them.
No need to be so square lah. ;-)
I totally understand about this, especially when they talk secretly and laugh out loud!!! =[
ReplyDeleteerrr, they talk loud and laugh loud!! sometimes really have to be more considerate lah, it's a public space..
DeleteIt's not nice to speak so loudly in public. I dislike it when my customers spoke so loudly at the counter.
DeleteYou know what, not to insult anyone, this came to the point how they learn their manners, cause my nieces always talk like "ou pa sang" shouting at home, which bring them get used to talk out loud outside!!!
Deletedefinitely, i think speaking loud (though it's natural for some people and not their intention) is kind of not polite lah.. and yeah, i think it's the environment and some really get used to talk loud, i personally don't really appreciate that, can be quite irritating like you are being scolded~~ :D
DeleteI heard japan the ppl in the train very civilised punya wor. No using phone in the train so that lessen noise pollution. True ka? Ah boy been to Japan before. And that when they go in and out of the train they will beratur. Let ppl come out first baru go in. Not pushing to get in before people get out
ReplyDeleteyes, it's super quite inside the train!! i think they will either switch off their phone or at least have them on silent mode.. i don't remember anyone talking on the phone in the train.. yalah, the Japanese are really very polite nation, haiz, our bolehland can never do that lah..
DeleteHow do they become that way?
DeleteEducation.
Enforcement.
There, the elementary students are taught about growing up properly in a community. Kids there do not have exams till middle school.
So... in a way, we have to blame ourselves for the bad behaviour of our own society.
We value straight As.
We don't value polite society here.
the thing is that, CONSIDERATION to others is really an optional thing in our mindset!! we were brought up in such a background that ourselves is more important then the rest.. while not understanding the Japanese too much, at least i know they are brought up to be polite and considerate, they always blame their ownselves first before anyone..
DeleteTrue True True.
DeleteThat's the other word I was looking for. CONSIDERATION.
How do we get considerate. By being raised with proper values.
They always want it to be, but never take some actual actions, which it became like an impossible term lo!!! =]
Deleteit's the mindset and core values that we were being brought up with, quite tough to change but then i still hope this could be done.. we want to be a developed country in 2020, but i guess we may be there in terms of the "hardware" but surely quite impossible in terms of the "software"..
Deleteyalah, always only talk but never ever walk the talk.. haiz!!!
Basically for those who's talked that load, they won't realized how load it's until they heard it back by themselves!!!
ReplyDeletevery true, they are always very excited and the more excited the louder they are!! gosh.. they just do not know how to control themselves and be a little more considerate..
DeleteLoud people too loud until cannot hear their own voices.
Deletehahaha, very true!! too loud until they cannot even hear their own voices, that is why they have to be even louder to be heard~~
DeleteI always believe those people who speak loudly on their phone are half-deaf! They couldn't hear themselves so they tend to shout!
DeleteHahaha, actually I watched a video few days ago, talked about how you get rid of those annoying passenger in the train (was tended to find it back but I forgot the title)!
DeleteIn that video, once you heard someone speak loudly in the phone, you should get out your phone and pretend talk to your friend, telling him/her that you can't anything cause you're in a market!!! Hahaha!!! =]
haha, sometimes it could be because of the poor reception of it's really so soft that we shout in the phone "HARLO HARLO CAN HEAR??" which i find it kind of amusing sometimes.. :D
Deletehahaha, 小影 you are funny!! but i think maybe i will go near and pretend to talk in the phone loudly also.. let that person see the real him/her~~ :D
Never used LRT, not quite user friendly, escalators always not working...unlike the MRT in Singapore or the London underground.
ReplyDeleteUsed to naik LRT daily.
DeleteStill naik LRT on and off.
Escalators might be not in service once in a while.
But no problem. I got kaki to walk up the stairs.
I think for OKU, there're options to ride up to the platform too.
DOn't be too hard on our LRT. Use and try the service first. Much too often, we slam it without really having first hand experience using it.
It might not be a first class service.
But with more people using, hopefully public transportation in Malaysia will finally be on par with developed countries.
Right, Cikgu?
maybe the Sibu Food Mayor is too pampered by his friends to drive him around in private cars to anywhere he wants to go, hence he has not had a chance to take LRT at all while he is in KL.. but since he has not taken the LRT before, i am really curious how does he know that it's not quite user friendly and escalators always not working??
Deletevery true Lina.. if escalator not working, then just walk or take the stairs.. even when the escalator is working perfect i also walk on the escalator to save time.. and i actually do no think our LRT system is that bad, for i have been commuting by LRT almost daily for more than 10 years, i find it kind of convenient also.. of course cannot compare with what our neighbours of some other countries have, at least better than our bus system lah..
Good morning SK...
ReplyDeleteNowaday, i don't quite like to take MRT although it's faster, as it's always very crowded...
DeleteWhen taking MRT, the door open, have to be KS, the people will cheong into the MRT before letting passengers come out...
DeletePrefer bus although it's slower, at least can get a seat and have a short rest...
DeleteBut now, buses also getting more and more crowded, haiz...
DeleteI don't like talking over the phone for long, i prefer to come out and stir coffee and talk which i find better...
DeleteHave a great day ahead...
Deleteerrr, unless the buses are punctual and frequent and that the traffic is always smooth, i really won't mind taking bus lah.. but over here, the LRT would be a better choice - though we also have the same problem you mentioned above, haha!! generally, MRT in SG is so so so much better than our LRT in KL lah, wanna come and experience how much worse it is?? haha~~ :D
DeleteBuses now... hmmmm
DeleteI actually miss BMW (bas mini wilayah). They were aplenty. They sped like demons. They were cheap.
Actually, last time when I was a bus user, I liked using Len Seng buses. Usually the bus I wait & rode to work arrives roughly at the same time.
Funny, the Len Seng buses have colourful tickets and I used to collect them! Really! Hahaha
hahaha, BMW kind of nice!! most of the time if the traffic was smooth, you will always arrive at your destination ahead of time.. the driver surely sped so that they can make more rounds of journey to earn more money lah, i guess they earn commission from the tickets sold right??
Deleteoh, Len Seng bus!! i have been relying on this for like 20 years!! it's the Setapak monopoly until Intrakota and later RapidKL came in.. they are still operating you know??
I prefer Len Seng buses (even those without air-con ones) over Intrakota (or rapidKL or whatever you call them now).
DeleteMaybe one day I'll ride one again, for nostalgia sake? Hahaha
Used to board them from Sogo to go to my rented room in Jln Genting Klang after my date. Ahahaha
Actually with LRT, a trip is made simpler. For me, at least. Last time, want to get to Ampang Park from Bangsar must change two buses. With LRT, it's just an LRT ride away.
DeleteSo, whatever people complain, LRT did and still does make my travelling easier.
It's my mode of choice to KLCC.
hahaha, it would be nice to board a Len Seng if you have the time and mood!! but i think it's getting quite rare now, and probably you'd have to wait for quite some time if you missed that one.. eih, Jalan Genting Klang very convenient lah, almost all Len Seng will pass by (except those that go to Air Panas and Gombak).. i stayed in the slum in Genting Klang last time, you know that piece of land behind the Prima Setapak Condo??
Deleteerrr, the LRT may not necessarily make the trip simpler.. remember the interchange stations are just that pathetic few and far apart.. you probably have to make a big detour to get to the interchange for another line.. but of course, still a more comfortable option to commute i would say :p
I missed the mini bus. Those were the days when I was in KL.
Deleteoh yeah, when in a rush, i would take mini bus.. also they are always flexible, can pick up or drop off passengers ANYWHERE and ANYTIME~~ :D
DeleteMaybe one day you will master their dialect... the more you hear, the more you learn... hahaha...
ReplyDeletehahahaha, if this situation i rather don't want to learn lah.. i will prefer to have a very quiet train where not even a single person talks~~ :D
DeleteI like to travel in quietness. Can relax our mind.
Deleteyeah, same here.. unless with friends, else if i am alone i always prefer a quiet journey.. :)
DeleteI prefer to sleep. Hahaha
DeleteGood morning Bloggers! Another hot topic, I might spam until 100 comments but I better go slow. Nanti out of control spamming.
ReplyDeleteI have taken both the LRT and Putra lines many times at almost different peak hours. I would say that in the morning's rush hours and after office hours, you can see many well dressed commuters inside the Putra lines heading to office or home after work. They would carry brief cases and smell of perfumes. It made me think that many people from PJ work in offices in the city.
The line heading to Ampang and Sri Petaling routes are more mixed crowd, so the train becomes interesting inside to observe the passengers who come from all races and nationalities. We have a good mix of crowd like rojak and that's fun.
From my own little experience taking subway trains in overseas, it is easy for me to conclude that the most pleasant rides are those in Japan and the worst is definitely some trains in China which could drop your jaws every minute in disbelief.
DeleteThe worst mainlanders was rated due to their noisy people screaming over their mobile phones to attract listeners who would pause and curi dengar. I had to ask wife many times to explain their conversations when I noticed some people were giggling or trying to hard not to burst of laughing!! These phone users are like street comedians to me, doing some Gag concerts in the trains. They are quite thick skin lah.
DeleteMaybe I should also rank the most scary rides are those subway lines in New York City that passes through the Queen and linked to Harlem or Bronx which are very notorious. The folks from there could be rowdy and stink of pee or alcohol. Even those subways in the notorious areas were often wet with kencing la. My cousin and I saw water leaking from the ceiling which freaked me out to open an umbrella to shield ourselves as they could be kencing flowing down from upper floors. Muahahahaha
DeleteAnay,
DeleteYou have experience a lot using trains around the world yet you don't really hantam our own LRT despite whatever weaknesses our public transportation is.
I find this refreshing after reading those who simply hantam our system and praise to the sky others.
I have to say one thing, at least while taking LRT here in Malaysia I never experience drunken people riding it. Thank goodness.
I don't have much experience being abroad. What little I did experience, I really hate the reek of alcohol by fellow commuters. Blergh...
interesting experiences from Anay on his LRT/ trains/ metro/ subway rides in different countries around the world!! hmmm, i have to agree with that in Japan and China.. so clean and so quiet, it is always a very pleasant ride in Japan.. but scariest experience being in Beijing where i was pushed in and out of the train without myself the need to move my own legs!! i didn't have a good experience with that, so i chose to forget, hence i really cannot recall my train ride in Beijing now, hahaha!! have not been to US, but i think HK MTR can be kind of noisy because everyone seems to talk in the train face to face or over the phone, and HK people are always used to talk loud - the surrounding environment is too polluted with noise..
Deletei agree with Lina too, at least throughout my 10 over years of experience taking LRT in Malaysia, i really have not seen people drunk or pee in the train, and the leaking could be just temporary due to the super cold aircond under super hot weather.. so at least it's better than US?? haha~~ :D
But BO... alamak!
DeleteEarly morning also sometimes have to endure people with BO! Well-dressed commuters too!
What happen to shower, deodorant and perfume to some people?????????
errr, so far i think i rarely have had "BO experience" thank god!! if that happen, i will place my wrist on my nose, because that's where i put on my perfume~~ :D
DeleteAiyoh, so dainty! LOL
Deletethat is why, putting on perfume is not just to cover my own BO, but to save myself from breathing in other people's BO~~ :D
DeleteIf I'm standing, I just smell my own ketiak to cover the smell. Bwahaha
Deletemuahahaha!! your ketiak so wangi ke?? or too busuk till no other BO in this earth could fight (but you get used to it)~~ :D
DeleteYou wanna smell? :-P
DeleteI actually love to take subway trains in overseas as they will save my time and money a lot. I could also exercise my eye balls and observe the true colours of the foreigners inside the trains. They could be picking their noses, staring hard at other boobs, sleep with mouth wide open or quarreling with their mates and so on. I could enjoy looking at their sense of dressing fashions especially in Fall or Winter which their lovely designer jackets could make me weak!
ReplyDeleteTabik you T Man can spam with at least four sentences in each column and each column with different scenarios. Great spamming with stylo and not merely spamming for the sake of spamming...;), You are indeed the Champion.
DeleteThe virgin olive oil not only smoothen your internal organs but it also greased your train of thoughts allowing them to flow so freely. Must try to take a spoonful daily to catch up with you hehe.
DeleteஇBananazஇ,
DeleteThat's why itu Anay is a champion. He's a class in his own! LOL
He doesn't even need to spam with daily time update, weather update, seasonal update also got many stories to spam. Bwahaha
hey, the Champion can never be a fool lah, TM indeed is a genuine champion lah.. he knows all the tactic to play with his nenek moyang stories.. இBananazஇ should have invited TM to be your sifu in order to spring up to Top 3~~
Deleteah yes TM, that is why i mentioned in my post that it's actually entertaining to observe other passengers in the train.. not only overseas but locally also, you see all sorts of people - witty or retarded~~ :D
Vanakum! Seldom talk over the phone in LRT or hardly at all. Would sms or said call you later if its not important.
ReplyDeleteyeah, i also find it difficult to talk over the phone in the train, it's too noisy and perhaps reception is bad too.. so better make it short and if urgent, i will get out of the train and talk at the station..
DeleteI'm still OK with using LRT. At least Lrt no need to wait long like komuter.
ReplyDeleteBut komuter, apart from the long wait, the ride itself is good. It'll take me about half an hour to drive from Mines to Mid Valley. A train ride takes just 17minutes. For RM1.50. Save petrol. Save environment. Save toll. Now... if only I don't need to wait 40minutes for that 17minutes ride! Huhuhu
I love it when the ride is all so quiet and everyone just talk in hush voices.
But occasionally we'd hear one person who seems to be having hearing problem and has to shout talking to her/his phone. Aduhh...
There's a campaign on Hot.fm about being mindful and respecting other by not talking loudly while in the train.
DeleteNow that's a good courtesy campaign.
you are right, the LRT is surely better than the KTM if you are comparing the frequency.. and i recently took the KTM and was shocked and thrilled with the new coaches, so brand new and clean and bright, and there are LED indicators of the different stations on the route map in the train too!! first in malaysia, muahahaha!! and the journey was pleasant and smooth too, well down KTM!! :D
Deleteyeah, i really wonder when will people be at least 50% as mindful and respecting as the Japanese commuters?? not to say i worship their culture, but then i think it's a good thing and really worth to be practiced.. agree??
We need a drastic change in how we educate the future generation. That's how we can change. Serious.
DeleteHomeworks and tons of them doesn't make for a civilised society.
it's tons and tons of homework and tuition classes for the kids now!! i was shocked to see my nephews reaching home from their tuition class just now at 8:30pm still in their uniforms!! OMG, they left home at 6:30am to school this morning!! @_@"
DeleteMy son goes to two schools. No tuition. No extra class. So I'm considered one of those lazy parents not caring about the son future.
DeleteAh well...
that is why i always think you are a mommy of an "alternative genre", the good one of course.. hahaha!! :D
DeleteHahaha!! So polite meh talk soft soft on your mobile phone? :D
ReplyDeleteeih, don't you find i am always a soft-spoken and polite person?? hehehe~~ :D
DeleteYes I agree it's weird why two people who know each other would not sit next to each other and then proceed to carry out a conversation loudly.
ReplyDeleteexactly!! it's actually a very natural thing that two person who know each other sit side by side right?? or if sitting separately then won't talk..
DeleteSeriously, for me, I also don't like to talk loud loud even on my mobile phone. I don't like people to listen to my conversation, even though there's nothing to hide.
ReplyDeleteHahaha!! So polite meh talk soft soft on your mobile phone? :D
Deletetrue lah, why want to talk loud and shout and let everyone hear your conversation?? :p
And yes when people talk loudly in a language I do not understand, it's definitely NOISE to me!!
ReplyDeleteand perhaps you may have thought that they are quarreling also!! :D
DeleteGood morning SK! I think I am the first one to comment on 17/10, haha! It's just 12.09am now! So definitely I am the first la, kekkek~
ReplyDeleteOh, at first I thought you wanna blog about 低头一族 today, by looking at the photo. But seems like you blog about something else, hehe.
DeleteI want to say from what I observe when taking BTS (MRT in Bangkok) during my Bangkok trip, 9 out of 10 are playing with their phones. I believe this is what happened at Malaysia too!
Oh, 9 out of 10 are 低头一族, then the remaining 1 is sleeping, keke~
I used to take LRT very often when I was still schooling at UM. From the University station to the one near Pudu (forgot what's the station name) especially, I got home sick that time and always travel home by bus, haha xD (Also to meet my then-bf :p)
DeleteYep I agree, we surely can see lots of people with lots of 'patterns' when taking the LRT.
And the situation you mentioned, I know how you feel. I too very annoyed with these kinda people. Come on, it's a PUBLIC transportation and not belong to you alone only, everyone paid for it. Please be considerate la! I just don't understand why can't these people be polite and must talk so loud like that!!
DeleteIf for me I'll give a stare at him/her, hopefully he will realize and slow down the volume.
And I think not only happened in LRT, other places also, like in a yoga class for example (if you remember I've blogged about similar topic last time). It's so quiet inside but suddenly people can talk like nobody is there one, their voices surely pollute the air and it's so irritating! I don't care if they speak in my language or alien I just don't wanna hear what they talk!
DeleteIsh comment til I am abit angry pula! xD (actually these kinda people still exist in the yoga class, tsk tsk tsk!)
hahaha, cannot write about 低头一族 lah, because i am definitely one of them, so it can be quite awkward to write about myself mah!! :D
Deleteoh, so you were in UM last time?? wow, orang pandai lah can get into UM!! so you take the LRT to puduraya to take a coach back to Taiping right?? ah, probably Masjid Jamek station then??
yalah, i actually find it quite impolite to talk loud, maybe just me lah.. but i think if you say those aunties also talk loud in the yoga class, i think it's even worse than inside the train!! haha.. at least it's noisier in the train than in the yoga class!! everyone very quite in the class, then suddenly the auntie talks so loud - aiyoh, a bit siah suei lah i think~~ :D
Contrary to Sharon, I prefer to take MRT in S'pore cos MRT is faster and bus is slow and have to stop at traffic lights. The MRT line in Singapore covers Singapore quite well now cos we have the West Line, East Line, North East Line, North South Line and Circle Line as well, very well covered.
ReplyDeleteyeah, i also find MRT more convenient and more comfortable lah.. though MRT in SG often got problem and you probably got stuck in there for hours, haha!! but i have to admit, KL trains can never fight with your MRT lah, so well covered..
DeleteBut take MRT, very scare if someone lets out gas and it is crowded in the train, cannot escape, OMG!!
ReplyDeletehahaha, i got that experience before but what to do, you don't know who did that and just have to stop breathing for a while.. actually i also did that before lah, just keep quite lah~~ :D
DeleteAgree that Japan is a polite society, wish I can go there one day! But scare earthquake, muahaha!
ReplyDeleteaiyoh, scared this scared that then no need to go anywhere already, stay at home!! hahaha.. you should go to Japan and see how polite the nation is~~ :)
DeleteBut not long ago (can't remember the date), the SMRT in Singapore experienced a "trap" underground, where the train was stranded underground for quite a while, if you happened to read the news.
ReplyDeleteyeah yeah.. i think months back the MRT got problem very often and of course we knew about it.. everyone posted in Facebook, haha!! :D
DeleteMorning SK. Interesting topic. Hmm, weird that the bunch of people you mentioned did not sit together even tho they knew each other.. Really, I have never seen anyone like that.
ReplyDeleteSo guess they were poh-peh-poh-peh-ing all the way from the time you got up until the time you got down, heh? haha... Yeah, I agree, if I understand the language they are talking, then I can gossip or make stories or make some jokes out of their conversation. But if they speak languages that I do not know, errr, then it sounds strange la, haha.. malu also if I am near them, the feeling macam I can't wait to get down asap..
DeleteWhen I saw got 103 comments for this post, I guess this topic must be hot. haha.
Deleteyeah, can see some irritating and weird people in the train.. but also can be fun observing different kind of people lah.. hahaha, luckily as the train gets more packed with people, they stop talking lah, because got people standing in the aisle blocking them seeing each other.. really weird, i don't understand why they didn't want to sit together??
Deleteforeign language depends on what language lah.. if japanese or french which sounds soft to me is okay and i enjoy listening to that.. but like korean or shanghainese then they are often loud!! worse still if you are sitting in between them :p
By the way, when you were stuck in this situation and had to listen to the whole thing, did you stare at them, or laughed, or tried to control laughing, or make some malu face?
ReplyDeleteof course have to pretend i am not listening mah, this is a "skill" that i have accumulated throughout the years you know?? :D
Delete呢類人我形容為"Sakai"!
ReplyDelete哈哈, 好耐冇聽過sakai呢個term!!! 形容得好貼切~~ :D
Delete认识但分开坐?真的有酱的事? O.O
ReplyDelete有!! 就是那些奇怪人做出來的囉~~ :D
Deletegood morning Happy :)
ReplyDeleteYou know lar...Taiping where got... if go KL sure naik kereta. LRT, I can't remembered when is my last time taking them. :D
ReplyDeleteBut can't say I've never experienced it. There was a few times, taking them from Masjid Jamek. If I'm not mistaken, I never faced with those irritating passengers. Maybe my route was a short one... hehehe...
They talked so loud, that means there are not afraid that you would heard of it lor... So better buat tak tau and do your own business lor... keh keh si play with your phone.
DeleteLast time, I've traveled around SG with their MRT. I'm not sure about the rest, but SG's MRT is the best one for me. I feel more awkward when I saw people kissing inside lor. So what you think? which one is more irritating?
DeleteThere are some people in group was like showing off - talking loudly with action sum more... Ok lar, I know their speaking is very good but please ler this is a public transport - is convenient for everyone so try not to buat people feel sick lor...
DeleteGuess like Lina mentioned about BO also not so pleasant. But this is acceptable lar. Public transport mar - we for sure met with all kind of people, all sort of things and experienced all kind of smell... hehehe....
DeleteGot such crazy passengers one? Know each other, but not sit together. Sit far away, and then talk loudly in their own language, weirdo la!
