Took MRT back home as van was being hijack by my A.Manager. Taking the MRT is always a challenge especially during the peak hours. I notice there different category of people taking the train.

First there the "Drifters" group. Since I'm staying in Pasir ris(first stop) so the train is empty, alot of seats available. Imagine standing behind the yellow line waiting for the train. Somewhere, somehow, when you least expected, someone will silently making full use of the narrowest space between your feet and the line to mark their territory and slowly drift in front of you,. Suddenly you found yourself standing behind them instead. Simply awesome man! The authorities should seriously consider recruiting them for special operation missions.

The second group are the "Swifter". I tell you, this group with their instinct and quick reaction would be most suitable for S.W.A.T team. Once the train doors open, like S.W.A.T team in action, they burst in the train in record time. This is so cool.

Of course there the "Don't bother me" group. This group of people consists mainly of an individual, most of the time, just himself or herself. They have a habit of jerking up their volume on their MP3 to the max or just quietly to themselves with earpieces fit in one of their ear. With their lookalike hearing equipment, they are like the Secret Service, their primary mission is remain intact in their seat or standing. They don't look around, don't talk or even close their eyes. Oh...I am so awe-inspiring with their attitude.

Then there always have the “Distracter”. Of course for this group, most of the times, they chat non-stop and guarantee to get you attention. They talk like a loudspeaker, competing for spotlight. My goodness, this is so entertaining just standing next to a “distracter”. You can never get bore in the train with them around.

This group I hate most known as “Da Bei Gong” or “Tua Pek Kong” in hokkien. Who is Da Bei Gong? He is taoist deity, people tend to pray to him for luck and he is usually in a sitting position. So when people referred to as “Da bei Gong” it mean = sit there whole day = Idle. This type of commuters usually stand in front or near the train door refused to budge even there are other trying desperately to get off the train. The Chinese temple should hire this group as medium for ritual and trance session.
