to fellow city hall mrt passengers,

be ever thick skinned when entering a sardine packed train. just *squeeze* into which ever foot space you see for your poor tired feet. dont even care if your body is pressing against that secondary school kid who smell suspiciously nasty. foot space is equally important as "visual/body space". because once you're one foot into the carriage, most prob you'll be able to squeeze/"force" into the carriage with your calf strength.

sometimes, facial expression is needed to "force" many to move into the carriage so that the rest can move in. if all fails, say excuse me loud and clear. but take note, be polite yet firm. this particular act is a confirm guarantee space giving method. another "force" not to be reckon with.

the key here is to stand firm and not give way. because "many", well in fact most singaporeans are kiasu and kiasi. they just dont wanna take a few more steps into the middle of the carriage because 1: kiasu - must be the first to leave the carriage and 2: kiasi - scared later cannot get off the train in time.

unless you wanna WAIT somemore with many other gloomy faced passengers who prob didnt make it. otherwise remember, dont be paiseh. squeeze and you'll be able to reach home on time.

may the "force" be with you.
