I'm so glad that the year-end hols r finally coming to an end. Students will go back to school, people will resume work and the streets will finally be less crowded. I was at Orchard for a movie on New Year's eve & I cannot believe the crowds as I was walking to Somerset MRT station. The new 313@Somerset mall was packing in the crowds & for the record I couldn't find the MRT station initially cuz I had no idea you had to enter the mall to get there. *rolls eyes*

I think we have no lack of shopping malls in Singapore so another shopping centre is like SO unnecessary but I did spy some interesting shops on my way to the MRT so I'll probably check the place out on a weekday where there will be some semblance of normalcy instead of those maddening crowds where u might get elbowed, or have ur foot run over by a pram.

Speaking of the MRT, my sis & I had a most unpleasant experience with a disgruntled uncle who was pissed by the fact that my sis was occupying the 'priority seat'. To our defence, I saw NOBODY, pregnant or elderly, who seemed in need of the damn seat & even if there was someone whom I might have missed, all he had to do was politely make a request for us to give up the seat. No need for those dirty looks he kept shooting at us, all the time shaking his head and muttering to himself.

I was busy chatting was my sis throughout the journey from Tampines to Bugis so I was not aware of the situation until my sis alerted me at Lavender. So I looked at him and sure enough he was glaring at us.I stood my ground by staring back at him in the eyes & demanded to know what his effing problem was & then told him to mind his own business. I told him 'If u want to sit just say la!' and he was like 'It's not me ok. You should give the seat to the lady in front of you.'

Ya right. I believe a person of my intelligence can easily discern who should need a seat & the lady he was referring to was definitely not in my 'elderly' category. So sue me if you're not happy that I'm taking up the 'priority seat'. I have no qualms giving up my seat to those in need & have done so many times, so I dun appreciate this sort of unwanted judgment. Go f**king take a cab if you have so many complaints and I say, To hell with people who have this sense of entitlement. What was he trying to prove anyway? That he's a civic & social-minded person with a sense of consideration for others? Then I repeat myself: All he had to do, was ASK NICELY.

I rest my case & I make no apologies for my behavior.
