Ugly Side of SIngaporeans

Dear Diary,

Yupz..that's eactly how i'm feeling..Pissed off...

I was on my way to my Prudential office this morning at around 10. I boarded the MRT at clementi, saw a very old man leaning on the panel beside the door. I looked around, there aren't any available seats. There were a couple of youngesters sitting down. I wanted to go over and get the youngsters to give up their seats for the old man...then hestitated cuz i thought maybe the old man wanna get down le and probably rejected their offer. Hence i paused and observed before action...

I realise the fact is the old man, looking like age of 80 with a walking stick and a little crouching, was waiting for seats. I started to get very irritated by the sight. There's a young lady in office wear sitting down, 2 aunties at the age of only 40 at most, then few young pple on the seats, none are willing to give up their seat. I approached the office lady who was reading her bible,

Me: "Hi, U are a christian? From?"
Office lady: "O... hi Yes. City Harvest."
Me: " I believe Christians are kind soul, do you mind giving up ur seat for this old man
here?"

She didnt answered and but on her head phone. I was irritated. I was looking at her, then she pretended to sleep. Argh...

Worst, the 2 aunties sitting beside her, with carrying a NUS (We are 100 yrs Let's celebrate bag) heard, and turn their head when i turn my head to them, wanting to ask them...They jus pretended to be busy talking. Ok, i thought, i shall let them off since they are not that young. I walked over to the young couple or are they siblings, watever, i asked them politely if one of them can give up their seats, but they both jus give me the "Why should I" look. By now, i was on fire, the train oredi reached queenstown. In another few more stops i would have to alight and the poor old man is still looking for seats. When the train appraoched every station, the old man wld ook hopefully to find someone alighting and he can seat down...

Then finally at tiong bahru, the young couple finally stand up to drop off, i quickly tapped the old man on the shoulder and pointed him the seat, I lend him my hand and held him to the seat while he walked wobbly, but 2 young gals just sit on it when we are reaching...Argh..I was fumming...I went to argued, finally one of them gave up the seat to the old man.

I know i created a scene in the MRT this morning, but i felt so disgusted being a Singaporean for once. I had always been proud being born in Singapore but there are jus black sheeps around. In fact, on the train there were some "Ang mo" around shaking their head when they saw the scene. I'm glad they acknowleged my acts of justice and by telling me that i have done a wonderful thing.

I ought to be happy doing a good thing, bu i was so disgusted by the acts of these people, the SIngapore Government is working so hard promoting the courtesy campaign, and there i see people so selfish. Wld they die standing for few stops? they are so young, cant they pity the old man? Argh....Why cant they put themselves in the old man's shoe, duhz, they wld grow old one day lo...

Pissed off...

I know Alan will scold me if he reads this, he feels that i shouldnt be pissed off .. even when they are in the wrong, i should not let it affect my mood and feel upset...but i cant...this is not the first time i meet this kinda scenerio but this is one of the worst....argh...

Disclamer: I have nothing against city harvest pple or NUS pple, in fact i have frens there it just happen tt the black sheep happen to be from there and i'm jus accountig wat i see today!
