Singaporeans Are Kiasu, But It's Good
I hate people talking on their phones in the library and it is not a wonder that foreigners hate us Singaporeans for being so uncouth everywhere we go. Toilet - loves to wet the floor by shaking our hands dry and don't give the reason that Ala, no hand-dryer whaaat. Bus - Prefer to sit on the aisle side and leave the window seat empty so that can get off the bus easier mah. You mean i am suppose to squeeze pass you to get to the seat? Another one for the buses - Singaporeans love smacking the seats after someone gets off. No idea why must do this. It's insanely nonsensical.
Eating soupy noodles IN THE BUS. Clearly, some people CANNOT read at all - NO EATING AND DRINKING.
Picking their nose and flicking the nose goo around.
Spitting - I had a bad experience with this. Of course I wasn't the spitter. I was being spit at,unintentionally. He spat on my FOOT. OMG. I almost killed him. But the calm and collected me said , no biggie. He's just another idiot.
Well, of all these horrible social antics that Singaporeans portray day in day out, there is one which i love the most.
Chope-ing seats.
Go library to mug. Must chope seat at 10 am. Leave bag behind. If friends joining you later, must scatter every page of your foolscap from one end to the other end of the table. Must chope every inch of the table.
Singaporeans, so kiasu, so kiasi.
What to do?
But my friend, you have not seen Msian's kiasu-ness yet. They are so extreme in EVERYTHING you feel like Singaporean's kiasu-ness is so... mild.
However, don't get me wrong. I love Malaysians. They are amiable and easy to get along with. I think it is just the I Live Across The Causeway Syndrome.
Kiasu is the way of life. So, study hard hard. Must get all HD. Make lots of money, so can buy car and omg, that evil driving instructor of mine just messaged me to come for his rip-off driving lesson. Ok, sorry. skip the buying of car. Go get a trusted and cheap(er) instructor.
Monday is the last exam paper for Semester 2 and you want to know how it feels like? It feels Awesome.
Till Monday,
