Edit: Lx asked me if she lived in South or South-west Brisbane when she is the one who is fucking living there right now. Should I laugh at her?Edit: Just have to add this line.When I'm old and retired, I will go to France. And while I'm there, I will go to the top of the Eiffel Tower and spit. Just to see ho much time it takes to get to the bottom.And I get bonus points if I hit a Frenchie."Edit: Have to add this again.After reading a previous MLIH about a book on international etiquette, I decided to ask a friend of mine who lived just about everywhere in Europe whether or not it was true. She replied that yes, Germans really are that time conscious, and proceeded to give more examples. Like that when Italians and Spaniards say "Meet at 6:00," they really mean "Meet at 7:30," whereas Germans mean "Meet at 5:45."Cherlyn must be an Italian in her previous life, while Ying Ying a German.-------------------------
Sorry guys, I can't help it but to start another ranting post. Inconsiderate faggots are always around. A bunch of losers who do not understand the difference between left and right.
Which part of "Please stand on the left side of the escalator." do those retards don't frigging understand?
Do they even know how much planning I do when I take public transport!? With a MRT Station like Bedok, where there are 3 escalators to take before I reach the platform, one needs accurate timing and strategies! Especially when there is only 3 damn minutes left before the next train!
Alarmed, I start my rush. 3minutes is barely enough for me to climb the 3 escalators and top up my fare card.
Escalator 1:
Topping my list of inconsiderate commuters are OLD HAGS. OLD HAGS do not understand what is the left side of the escalator, and takes great joy in hindering my hurried rush to underground. OLD HAGS simply ignore/pretend not to notice me when I said "Excuse me." What rude fags! Even with me breathing down their necks, literally, they seem oblivious to it.
I swear my blood pressure went up by many notches.
Escalator 2:
God decided that it will be funny to try infuriating me. This time, the people who blocked me are those who top second on my list, bloody couples who absolutely must stand SIDE BY SIDE on the escalator.
Once again, I was ignored despite saying "Excuse me". I propose to the MOH that escalator blockers must go for a compulsory ear checkup.
I stood very close behind, and mustered up my deadliest glare,hoping it will send waves of doom down their spine. Alas, it seems to have no effect on retards.
I got increasingly impatient. My blood is boiling at 100 degree Celsius and I swear my heart is going to die on me. But I am very sure the couple will still be caught up in their own frigging world even if I died right behind them.
I wish there is a law to ban couples from using escalators.
After what seemed like centuries, I reached the top and I made a mad rush to the Top-up machine, and once done, I make another mad rush to the final escalator to the platform.
Escalator 3:
Dear God, it really isn't funny at all to make the same couple stand in front of me again on the escalator. The screen indicated the train has arrived and I only have got at most 7 seconds now. But no, the couple's still stuck in their own fucking world, refusing to adhere to the rule of "STAND ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ESCALATOR".
I give up.
I hear the familiar beep of the MRT closing its doors. It took all of my control not to lash out profanities at the STUPID, RETARDED, OBLIVIOUS PAIR OF FUCKUP COUPLE. PREPOSTEROUS! AND NOW I FUCKING GOT TO WAIT FOR ANOTHER 5 BLOODY MINUTES, ALL BECAUSE OF THE OLD HAG AND COUPLE BLOCKING MY WAY.
I swear, the next time anyone of you with your boyfriend occupy both lanes of the escalator, I will fucking slap both of you.
People are fined for eating and drinking on MRTs, they should be fined for BLOCKING THE WAY ON THE ESCALATOR TOO!
KNNBCCB!

Venice's FuneralThose who read the article on Disappearing Venice in August's National Geographic will know Venice is facing a terrible crisis right now. Yes, it is sinking, and it is always flooded. But it what is causing the greatest damage is a different type of flood.
Floods of tourists.
It's gotten so bad that people are holding a funeral for Venice. Venice is dying.
There's also one article in National Geographic on Somalia, which moved me to tears. More elaboration next time.

Singapore's PandasI am not very fond of Pandas, but I just thought I will share it. We are going to get Pandas in 2012 from China when the new River Safari is completed. Pandas are cute till they open their mouth and reveal those sharp teeth.
I did not know Singapore had planned a River Safari. It seems a day and a night zoo are not enough.
----------------------
Not sure if I had shared this before, but it is still freaking funny after reading it for the second time.

A map of
Stockholm's Metro. This map shows the Swedish words being literally translated into English. Hilarious! My favourite stations:
Awful Village Hospital
Big Bog
Forest Cemetary.
I wish we have interesting station names like that too, like "The Sakura Path" or "Victorian Prudes" or "Waterfront Walk".
