National Day is just 2 days away. What does it mean for you to be a Singaporean? Some lady showed me what it really meant in the MRT today.

Ended work kind of late today due to some function, therefore the train was not as packed. A lady was standing in front of me, who appears to be in her early 40s. Seated in front of her were 3 university students. The whole drama started when one of them took out her water bottle and started to uncap it. Conversation as follows:

Lady X: You shouldn't drink in the MRT you know

Girls: ???

Lady X: What if you spill the water on the train and people slip?

Girl 1: Don't worry I will be very careful.

Lady X: What if it happens? I mean there's a sign right there (pointing to the sign) that states no food and drinks allowed. If you spill then who is going to clean it up?

Girl 2: Errr... well if it really spills we will clean it up with tissue paper.

Lady X: The point is not wiping it up. Can't you read the sign? It says "No Food and Drinks Allowed"

Girl 3: Well everybody does that and I don't see anybody falling down because of water.

Lady X: (Exasperated, going schizo) Thats not the point! You can read the sign, WHY DON'T YOU JUST FOLLOW? YOU GIRLS ARE SINGAPOREANS RIGHT? CAN'T YOU EVEN FOLLOW SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS? You should be more considerate!

Alvin: *Sniggers at the back*, noticing that Lady X was lying on the pole like a pole dancer, leaving no space for others to hold on to.

Girls: (Exasperated, definitely NOT GOING SCHIZO over water on the train) But...

Lady X: (Interrupts Girls) Don't argue so much lar! Just follow the rules. Is it that difficult?

Ang Mor lady over the MRT intercom: Tanjong Pager (after 5 secs and train comes almost to a stop..) Tanjong Pagar

Girls 1 & 2: *bids farewell to Girl 3, mumbling as they stepped out of the train*

Lady X: *Staring at Girls 1 & 2, clearly with murderous intent*

Girls 1 & 2: *continues to mumble*

Ang Mor lady over the MRT intercom: Doors Closing... too too too too too too too too

Lady X: *Walks quickly towards the door and steps out, hands flailing at the girls* Hey you girls!

MRT Door: PSSSSSSSST... TROB

Ang Mor lady over the MRT intercom: Next station, Tiong Bahru

- The End -

Wow, If I wasn't really tired from the train ride I would seriously have loved to follow her out and see what happens next. Seriously uber funny, especially the part in bold above. The Auntie is a REAL SINGAPOREAN. She JUST FOLLOW LAW.

Happy birthday Singapore, Shine for Singaporeans.
