Gantry Hoggers and Bed Rollers
by wantunn on Sep.07, 2005, under Rants
Has anyone else besides me noticed it?
Everyday coming out of (or into) the MRT station at the gantry, there will ALWAYS be this one person who is standing in front of an exit gantry, fiddling around in their purse of bag (some how or other it’s always been a woman that I’ve encountered), looking for their bloody ez-link card.
I mean, come on, you didn’t know you would need it to exit until you saw the scanner? What, you thought maybe today would be exit the station without paying day? This is especially irritating in a rush hour situation where you have like a gazillion people trying to exit at the same time and you’re holding up the queue sorting through the gum, ciggies, tampons, whatever in you bag.
Invariably these will also be the people who elbow their way to the front past the orderly forming queues.
And invariably, this will always happen in the gantry I’m queuing for.
Which bring me to the conclusion…
I dem suay hor.
On a side note, my daughter rolled herself of my bed while asleep the night before. Woke both me and my wife up with a loud thud and crying. Amazingly, she went back to sleep like in minutes after we carried her back to the bed (and buffered both sides of the bed with slightly frazzled parents).
It could have been worse I suppose, she could have torn the curtains.
Another one bites the dust.

Made a mad dash down to Peninsular plaza to pick up a new BP511 charger and battery cos my trusty old Canon G1 could not seem to charge anymore and the camera had been left on sync mode so the battery had run down.
Bought the charger, new battery, full charge, go home, put new battery in camera, turn on camera.
Nothing happens.
Put old battery in charger and charge to full, put old battery ini charger, still nothing happens.
Crap. That makes it 3 dead cameras in the span of 6 months. This is so not my year.

Some roses my wife received from the office. You can see the rest at http://www.flickr.com/photos/wantunn/
Unfortunately some appear to be duplicated.. oh well.
Living dangerously….
