A.K.A Gatekeeper
I love food, don't deprive me of it.
I'm not Princess, I'm Queen
I can be quite grumpy and when I am, I hide here, my dungeon for reflections, ramblings and ranting.
Whatever I write are opinions, and may not be the whole truth. Do not read it like the Gospel.
I hate as vehemently as I love
I already know I'm crazy, be my friend, it's safer
Different is not bad, just not the same as the rest
If you don't like me, it's probably mutual
But I'm nice, really :p

I'm just too sick and tired of a tagboard with a short term memory.
Thanks! :)
7 plus in the morning, on a weekday. As expected the bus would be quite crowded.
And all these people stood in front, as if there were ghosts at the back of the bus. So there was this huge space at the back that could fit at least 2-3 people.
THAT'S NOT THE MOST SICKENING THING YET!
The most sickening thing was that when the bus came to a certain stop, it couldn't pick anyone up anymore because there was simply no space for anyone to come up since the front was all blocked. Still, the people tried to squeeze their way in. I mean, who wouldn't? Already late what to do right? So the bus driver just stopped at the bus stop for a good 3 minutes or so because he couldn't possibly drive off while people were trying to squeeze in right?
And you know what these silly fools did? They just stood there and looked stupidly at the people trying to squeeze up the bus with the you-can't-squeeze-up-your-problem look. THEY DON'T GIVE A SHIT!
And people, there were still some spaces here and there in the middle of the bus that people could filter in to make more space for people to board the bus in front. I didn't take those in the middle of the bus because that'll make it too obvious and I'm scared they'll whack me to death and destroy the evidence.
You know what I think is their logic? They're hoping that if people can't board, the bus driver will not stop at every stop and this will shorten their travelling time.
SELFISH BASTARDS!
Obviously that won't happen because the driver knows it's not full and he's still obliged to stop at every stop to show that he's "trying his best to pick everyone up." So not only will it NOT shorten travelling time, it'll even lengthen it. Why?! Because the bus driver has to open that bloody door and people will try to squeeze it so he can't shut it until people give up squeezing in and decide to wait for the next bus which will probably be as full as this. So yea, even if you had an IQ of 50, I'm sure you can tell that people trying to squeeze up a bus would take a longer time then people moving in smoothly right?
And why do I think my logic is right? Because I don't see this happening on MRTs. People try their best to make space because they know the MRT is gonna stop at every stop anyway and not moving in will just prolong travelling time.
Anyway, today I took a grand total of 45 mins(excluding waiting time) to get to my destination when it usually takes me about 30 minutes(including waiting time). I rest my case.
You know why I'm so friggin pissed even though I was sitting nicely on the seats in the bus?! Because I had to run to class on many occasions just because I had to take the next bus as some idiot just won't move in. Is it my fault I had to jog to class? NO! I sacrificed my sleep, got up early only to be late because of someone else's selfish act. I know how the people being left behind felt. At least for me, I try to make space unless the person beside me is some lao ti gou trying to molest me, then of course I won't wanna stand near him la.
Oh yea, maybe there was a ti gou ghost behind which is why they just won't move in. Oh, so there might be a slight chance that I misunderstood them because it was all that ti gou's fault.
