How Gracious Can We bE?

been here for 2 weeks and is surprise to see how gracious aussies are.

i mean back in sg i heard how gracious most aussies were. but i didnt knw they were actually so much better than sgporeans.

here when u board bus, everyone does it politely and patiently. people will queue up and then slowly board the bus. buying ticket is also unlike sg where u just scan ur EZ Link card. here you gotta tell the driver where u are gg and u have the option to choose between a single trip or a daily trip.

so normally it takes round 6 sec for a person to board a bus. imagine u spend THIS much time in sg while trying to board bus. guess people behind will be shouting KAN NI NA can faster a bit a nottttt I know you are slow but its ok. slowly take your time~

and when boarding bus, a handful of pple, which includes me now, do shout a "Thank You" to the driver b4 alighting. and the driver will give a smile to you from his rear mirror.

imagine you do this while alighting a SBS bus. shout a "Thank You" to the driver and i think he will look at u from his rear mirror with a WhatTheFuck face then faster drive off.

no offence but this is really how gracious i feel they are.

and believe me, there is not a single stray dog or cat here. all there have here are stray birds which they call Ibis. its really an unfamiliar sight u knw?

i guess singapore can march towards a more gracious society which we have always wanted by catchin up all the dogs and cats and release peacocks or ostriches into Orchard and our neighbourhood areas.

how nice would that be right?

`but still, i am proud being Singaporean`
