a lot of things can be observed while on the train.... this included:
OMG i was seated in the train on the way to tampines when SUDDENLY i caught this old aunty sitting opposite me SCRATCHING HER ARMPITS. k maybe it's not a big deal to you cos WHO DOESN'T SCRATCH THEIR ARMPITS... BUT NOT with your hands UNDERNEATH your sleeves, digging SKIN TO SKIN for TEN FREAKING SECONDS (MAYBE LONGER)!!!! AND THEN SHE TOOK OUT HER HAND (from underneath the sleeves), and rubbed the assumed-to-be wet fingers (EWW to infinity) and wiped it on her pants. OMG to infinity. pls tell me that by just imagining this scene, you are considering not eating your breakfast/lunch/dinner/supper... bcos thank god i was fasting or my previous meal would have been scattered all over the train floor.
moral of the story: please bring your hand sanitizer like everywhere you go.. u never know whose smelly-armpit-essence you might get hold of on railings and such.
