Are you pretending to sleep?

Do you have instances when you are so tired and have a nap? Then you are awaken by a commuter's action?

These are always happening to me especially when you are travelling from one end of the island to the other end. Sometimes, I do fall asleep and then to be awaken by some oblivious commuters who sit so hard that the seat just bump you off. I always shoot the other person a nasty glare. Come on, is your bum so heavy that you have to use your whole body weight to sit down? I really hate it!

Other peeves include when a 'fat' commuter who knows that the seat gap is narrow and still wanna sit. I was like very disgusted especially when their bum sizes are bigger than the seat. Or rather they think that they are the 'missing' puzzle of the empty seat. How inconvenient is that!

Another is the commuters tend to 'lose control' of their heads when they are fast asleep. Their heads tend to land on the nearest shoulder to rest and these commuters are normally males and foreign workers. Is it they think that a female commuter will not make noise? Apparently, they pick the wrong person as I will 'elbow' them back.

Recently, there was a case of a woman being molested by a foreign worker. This woman actually made sure that the worker got similar attention that he was giving her by dragging him out of the train and getting him nabbed by the police. You go, girl! Admire your courage.

Dont get me wrong for sounding like being a discriminating Bxxxx towards foreign workers. Yes, I understand they helped to fill in those jobs that my fellow countrymen refused to do. However, I do feel uncomfortable and insecure whenever I encounter them. They tend to stare at women lots. Perhaps, women in their countries are being placed and compared to almost nothing.

Being a woman in a liberal country, there are almost no dressing restrictions and most of us do receive education. Perhaps, these also reflected on the way we dressed. Some of these foreign workers do go to Sentosa to have a visual feast on women in bikinis and have it taped. Can you imagine? Yucks!

Words to the government :
I do understand these group of workers are important for certain industries and not all of them are necessary bad. From where these workers come from (eg villages), they may not have seen women being liberally dressed.

Hence, there is a CULTURE SHOCK. Besides being separated from their families, they have unsatisfied sexual needs. In the end, they resorted to molesting or raping thinking that this is free as compared to visiting the professionals as they will remain scot-free thinking that the women here will not complain.

I also bet the government does not know these people littered the grounds that they have gathered every weekend and urine around any dark places. To put it simply, there is no way to contain them in a designated area (an area that you think you have make improvements on and rave about it), coz they will still roam everywhere and make a mess in everything.

I think we should restrict the number of these workers coming in and some of them even planning to establish their families here coz of our 'excellent' education as well as her security. We are getting more populated with immigrants and the whole new wave of immigrants has already started. Called me narrow-minded. Soon, these will be your new 'citizens'. As for your 'original' citizens, they will leave the country and not be back ever or they will stay to compete the death battle coz they have money or nowhere else to go.
