Lion statues and guard dogs

Move aside you dumb blockers,
Can't you see that we are trying to alight from the MRT.

There are plentiful of seats, don't worry.
But first we must get out before you can come in to rest your bums.

If not,there are no more seats left.
So why the fuss?

We know you are want to board the MRT,
Don't you know that we are getting out so that there is more space for you?

So, please just move aside for us to alight.

You blockers, move away from the entrance.
We understand that security is getting tight in the MRT,
But there is no security provided by being "stone lion statues" or "guard dogs" at the entrance.

You pay the fare, we also pay the fare.
You want to take the train, we also want to board the train.
Your tongue is not hanging out like a guard dog, so please don't block the entrance.

The bloody blocker

Hey you there,
the pathway is not your home garden,
your strolling is holding everyone up,
Please move aside to clear the path.

Yakking on your hand phone?
Cosy in the company of your dear?
Playing a fool in your company?
Please don't do it in the middle of the pathway.

Hey you fool,
Keep to the left side of the escalator.
Jamming up the whole line and cost me to miss my train to Pungol.
Feel like giving you a kick, sending you direct to HarbourFront MRT.

100m Dash

Bend after bends, concrete after concrete.
Hasten our pace, to get out of the place.
Let's make the 100m dash,
at the Outram MRT interchange.

Is the place haunted?
Are the zombies there?
That we must get out of place quick?
No,those are not the reasons for the 100m dash.

4 minute shown on the display counter,
Swing your arms faster to anticipate.
3 minute shown on the display counter,
warm up your leg.
2 minute shown on the display counter,
Quicken your pace.
1 minute shown on the display counter,
You are gone in a flash,
Must catch that train, leaving in a few seconds!

Time is money, they said
By making the 100m dash,
we want to save!

Strange durian man

Was looking for a $2 snack for my tea break in the afternoon and walked past a durian stall in Bugis.

Out of the various packs of durian on sale, the $2 pack of durian looked satisfying enough.
When asked for a $2 pack, the durian man tried to push for a $5 pack and made a comment:
"$2 bo ho (No good), stale already, get $5 one better"

My reply: " Since no good, buy for what. Thank you."

The durian man is crazy.

Time flies

Received a sms from a uni-mate that we last met 6 years ago in her church wedding.

Learnt that she is the proud mother of her 9 months old son now.

In the end, both of us sent out the same sms text: Time flies.

Shackle with our own daily commitment to our routine schedule
Endless meeting, deadlines and as such
Time passed by in our mad rush in life

Days went by, months gone by and years came by
Where about are our buddies, friends and mates
Whom we share happiness, sorrowness and all those precious memories?

Take a moment off the tight schedule
Re-polish those memories buried in our mind
Send a greeting to those whom used to be part of our life

Time does fly
Memories do fade
Friendship do need our little touch to last
