Okay, the train broke down again yesterday evening. It sucks big time!

Got off work at close to 7pm and made my way to the MRT station. Happily got into the train and waited. 1 min, 2 mins, 3 mins, the train did not budge and passengers were getting fidgety. It was then and announcement was broadcasted to inform passengers that the train will be delayed due to technical fault!

You can practically hear a chorus of helpless and sian-ness frm all in the train. Waited, it was probably close to 10 minutes (or maybe even more) when the train finally got moving (by then some passengers have alighted opting to hail cabs or hop on buses).

I was relived the train was moving but whaddya know? It stopped at the next stop, and the next stop and the next stop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And the same announcement was broadcasted over and over again. I wanna scream but thankfully I wasn't in a rush. Stood till my feet could grow roots I tell ya....

When the train was finally on the way to my hometown of tomato land, it stopped not once but twice on the journey. Halted in front of some HDB flats and I could practically hear those people pounding on the pavments in view of the train or people on buses saying/inwardly thinking "oh, the train spoil arh, heng I never take train but chose to walk/take bus!"

To add to the sian-ness, an uncle standing about 2 to 3 individuals away from me was muttering 'shit!' everytime the train came to standstill and checking his watch. Bet he is in a bad rush.

Finally got to amk at close to 8pm. God, almost an hr to travel over 6 stations?!

Why why why??????????
