Go easy on me, guys.....First, I lose the flat I was gonna get all thanks to HDB's new rules....Then, the DBS monkeys royally screwed me from behind with the...

av, Uniqlo opened 1 outlet at KL.. but e price is a turn off, it cost 20% more than in Singapore due to their import duties.

and now the hawkers in entire M'sia is kpkb that all is heading to Singapore's be it IR or watever (to shop).

on the subject of trains, the japanese railway system is freaking awesome.

and so is the behaviour of commuters in japan.

we're like unwashed barbaric peasants compared to them.

everyone's quiet, and disciplined...

no one is shouting on his mobile, talking is quiet and discrete, and people move in

sbst275 SG

same goes to at Taipei.

av98m SG

nods head

e give way to alighting pax is really...

nothing but rush, rush, rush

I'm so depressed to be back in singapore after experiencing what its like to be in a more highly evolved society. I was thinking that they had more time to evolve and that singapore will get to where they are one day. Then I remembered the chinese have a long history too and look at how fucked up they are today.

sbst275 SG

I think it's very difficult in Singapore.

I still remembered when they had to shut e MRT for the platform and track upgrade works at Jurong East, some youngsters kpkb abt e bridging.

knn... you want more frequent train, dun want e upgrade works.. wat u want?

and the environment is so CLEAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! omg.

rubbish bins and cleaners are almost non-existent but everybody does their part to keep their own trash and dispose of it when they are able to.

and EVERYONE clears their own trays at the fast food places.

and the service standard! omg out of this world.

sbst275 SG

I still remembered when I was in Taipei last yr

The trash there has to be seperated - plastic, wood, metals and swills

Imagine NEA trying to make it law.

av98m SG

Now, I'm not saying that the japanese do not have their own problems and deep dark undercurrents in their society but they've certainly managed to be united in not being knn lang in public and being socially responsible and civic minded.

and part of the reason they've been able to maintain this social cohesion is that they do not open their borders to trash like we do. if they ever do so one day their society and way of life will also be destroyed, just like ours has been.

i actually felt at home with the cleanliness.. coz i tend to not leave anything behind...

not like here where there's a bloody aftermath every time someone stops...

worse are the PRC %#*(%# which happened last night at work.. they were there for about half an hour, about 50 of them waiting, there was trash and litter and food remnants everywhere in the lounge area..

not to mention they kept harassing the staff about delays

the Bear SG

I felt more at home in japan than I've been feeling in singapore for the last 10 years.

Now, Japan = home. Singapore = shithole I have to work in.

I shall have to return home soon.

sbst275 SG

Dunno did I told your abt I went to kpkb abt the passenger clusterfark at Boon Lay MRT concourse level. Mess is all because SMRT can't be bothered to streamline passenger movement flow.

They told me cannot be done and so so so... But they could do the suggested practice at Orchard

dunno is it double standard, to show ang moh they deserve e award

nvm, ang moh also go to Boon Lay to get to Bird Park

I'm not a train nut but I really am super impressed with how the japanese railyway system works. And the trains are super on time. The ETA displays at the stations are accurate to the minute(they display actual local time and NOT number of minutes bullshit like SMRT). When you consider the sheer number of commuters served, number of stations and trains, and types of trains etc, its bloody amazing that such a complex system can run like clockwork. SMRT is piss poor by comparison.

I still wonder why they put so few gates facing JP when they knew that the interchange was going to be there.

when one's country of birth does not feel like home, that happens.

I felt a lot more at home in the US and even in developing countries (there are savages out there but you read about them rather than meet them) but I'm still searching. You could call me a global citizen or a nomadic bastard child (a memorable description published in ST during the stayer/quitter debate), but I don't care.

I don't get the quitter rubbish. our gahmen has been spending taxpayer money on ''quitters' from other countries.
