I still remember a couple of weeks ago on Christmas eve, I was out with Jo going to the McDonald outside Lido to get a drink. Needless to say it was packed. As I carefully weaved through the chairs of people, saying sorry to the people I invconvenienced, I came to a stop at a point where a guy sitting with his chair out, blocking the way refused to move and pretended to not see me move in. I tapped him gently and said, "excuse me, could you please move?"and then he pointed his fingers at the space between him and the table as if he was trying to tell me that there was no more space to move.

Somewhat stunned, I stood there and looked on at his family and then he decided to buldge. As we sat down at the table next to them, I heard his grouchy looking wife say loudly, "It's for people like these, Singapore needs to have courtesy campaigns."

yeah, for people like you

In the past, when I was more tempermental and less accepting, I would have made a scene right there but for godness sake, it was Christmas!

just hold back Cheng...just hold back

The next thing I knew, I was laughing about it as Jo, who seemed more disturbed by it than me say, "I hope you aren't upset, there is a reason why a whole family is celebrating their Christmas at McDonalds..."

Courtesy campaigns. Lol

Where is it when you really need it? Today was quite fantastic, I'll just skip the MRT yellow box thing because, if you havent heard, experienced it or read about it on Chris's blog, you're certainly not taking enough public transport. Anyway, after taking the train to Plaza Singapura to meet my sis for dinner. I tried to take the lift up. I smacked the lift button, as I thought about the Crystal Jade meal which awaited me, the lift doors opened!

Awwww crap, it was packed! So being a nice guy, I stood at the side and let the people get out. After they got off the lift, instantaneously, this guy grabbed his girlfriends hand and relocated from the side of the lift to occupy the now vacant space right infront of the doors, blocking my entry. On his right, another person, impatiently jamming the button which looks something like this...
Win liao lor! I can almost hear Take the next lift, sucker!!! as the doors closed right in my face. Those of you with bf/gf dont laugh. Spare a thought for the people who want to get in k?! Afterall, its a win win situation- Not only can others enter the lift, you two will get an extra chance to squeeze with one another. SEE!!! Its win win.... ;)
