Train ride gripes

Ok, so here we go complaining again. I promise, not too long.

1. The Clementi Curve - just when the train is coming to Clementi, there's this tight curve that SMRT simply loves to speed their trains around. Do they realise that at times the trains feels like its going to fly off the track and that a lot of the commuters have problems standing on their feet at this part of ride?

2. The Armpit View - some people love to hold the overhead railing with both hands, nearly like being crucified. They look unpleasant and goodness knows if they stink as well!

3. Gas Attack - bodily odours, enough said. When people, tired after a day's work, hop on the train, they want to just reach home as soon as possible and look forward to a couch or a bed. And I'm talking taking the train back after work at 10pm, not 6pm. It is understandable for BO to be around during rush hour when there's lots more people, but at 10, nearly 11, pm?

That aside, why do patrons have to PAY to get into the booth area for the NATAS fair? Don't those people want to sell the holiday packages and air tickets and tours? Or is that just a way to recoup "losses" incurred from discounts? I can't believe I went all the way there to find out that you have to pay $3 for an entrance ticket to get into a sales promotion fair. And the queue was bloody long as well.

Oh well... What can you do eh? Just think about something nice I suppose, and you'll be fine. Once again, thanks to one of the best friends around. Such a rare catch these days.
