Many sure have experience riding an LRT to work. As for me, these past month have proven to be quite challenging. I had to take two LRT before reaching KLCC for work, each morning. (Actually, that’s just exaggerating… I only have to take two LRT if my uncle is on leave or going out-station… hehe…)
Anyway, being there, experiencing it (first-hand), proved to be a worthwhile experience. Waking up early to catch the earliest train, queuing up after work to catch the train, being the last person in line, not having enough change to buy the ticket, not having anything to hold on to when inside the train (except for the stranger in front of you… sigh~), standing too close to the door, having someone treating you as a handrail. (Okay, I’ve mentioned quite enough…). Haii~~~ *honestly, I wouldn’t want to do that for the rest of my life* Well anyway, I agree to the idea of giving newbies at KLCC a safety talk on how to ride the LRT, beware of pick-pockets, surviving the cramp spaces, etc.
To me, it sure is important to have the right mindset when riding the LRT. You get to see foreign faces, experience weird human behaviors and many more. And when something happens, you can’t help but begin to think badly of the situation. Just this morning, I think this person was taking advantage of a lady in front of me. I’m sure that HE can actually switch position, and face front, move his hands, but he refuses to do so, and remain where he is, (with his left hand holding a pole, and his right hand bumping on the ladies’ behind). Oops sorry.. (i really have no idea on how to best put it in words). And at the moment, I can’t make myself think of anything good about the man. It’s just hard.
Another incident, when a man in about his forties was standing near the door, was clueless on what he should be doing when people behind him was forcing their way out. And suddenly, there’s this voice coming from somewhere, saying ‘Alahai.. keluar la dulu…. Ape saje la’… Oh come on, that man might have never ride on an LRT before. Why so mean? I’m sure not many would agree, but to me, LRT is a great tool for development, but also a deadly tool for harmony’s destruction.
