The Tsks and Ceks

Traveling by public transport is an agony these days. On the MRT trains there are old uncles tsk-ing away, as if there is some super-sticky bubblegum stuck to their front teeth. Or maybe they are just trying to get rid of food stuck onto their fake gold teeth. Then, there are the loud young ones talking and laughing away like they are in some Great Grasslands. Add that cry baby (literally) who wails and galls.

I can’t stand the extreme vibrancy in MRT trains!

On the SBS bus, the Mobile TV blasts away in your ear, the screen flashing away in your eyes. Can’t understand why they have to turn the volume so loud. Is it to cater to the elderly? But it doesn’t help that most programmes shown are English ones, right? Please spare us the agony; we just need some peace and quiet at the end of the busy work day.
