The Train, The Work, and The Book

i really hate inconsiderate people and the ride to work this morning confirms the fact that i really really do.

the train was packed with commuters and this guy standing in the middle didn't want to move a single inch for the sake of others. i would normally squeeze in and stand at the empty spot ignoring people who seem annoyed i take their so-called free space. but i couldn't do that today. i did voice it out and the ladies moved in a bit but the guy simply stayed put. *eyes rolling*

then came another annoying thing. somewhere in that car, someone played a very cheena music for others to listen. i saw people looking around in annoyance. i myself was very annoyed. it's simply inconsiderate. i guess it annoyed a guy with an earpiece as well who ended up increasing the volume of his iPod. others, like me, were left listening to loud musics - an oriental and western music. what a mess!

and this is the best part - blocking the entrance/exit. a young man standing in between the door when he knew how many people were standing facing the door to get off at the next station. i hate this kinda people and i never keep quiet when faced with this kinda situation. so i told him to move and he didn't move. instead he just stood there letting people walked around him to get out. oh well, a little bit of manouver and hitting him with my bag wouldn't do no harm. and that's what i did after telling him that he should've get out of the train and give way to others.

i can't stand those incosiderate people. if they're old or disabled, that's fine. but youngsters or even professional? give me a break. they might not all be local but they surely make locals look bad. people will normally comment saying 'singaporean bla bla bla' since it happens here.

oh well ...

on another note - today is my 2nd day at a new company. no no no not that i move to another company but since july 1st we are all merged as one global company. no longer 'hi i'm x from singapore office', it's now 'hi, i'm x from the far east region'. so far not many changes felt, only change of business card and signature. let's see how it goes in the long run as it was said chances of working in a virtual teams are higher. still i wonder why indonesia is not together with us in the far east region, but with oz and nz in the oceania :?

speaking of virtual team, i read a book yesterday and it makes me worried until this very second. what stated there isn't good for me, especially when what i'm hoping for is totally the opposite of what's stated there. oh well, i guess i'll just stick to the commitment and see how it goes ...

alright, back to work.
