I hate it when people.....

I consider my self as a normal MRT commuter. I try to always offer my seat to the one who needs it, I don't stand in front of the door, I never eat inside the MRT and I don't bring durian (no matter how you wrap it, it still smell!)

I also consider my self as a 'ching-cai' commuter. I only slightly irritated when people 'blissfully' blocking the door when thousand of people pushing their way through the door. But I really HATE, I repeat HATE, capital H capital A, capital T and capital E when someone does something like this:

• I boarded the MRT, moved to the center and stand there peacefully. Usually the center of the train can accommodate 3 rows of people standing. I stand on row 1.
• Someguy wearing a loose t-shirt with folded sleeves boarded the MRT a couple stations later, sweep in stand in front of me (which is row 0, nobody with normal mind would like to stand in row 0 unless the train is fully packed and you have no choice but to accept the fate and be a 'mackerel in a tin' for a while, and at that time the train was not fully packed) face to face and suddenly he opened this arm to hold on the the hand holder behind my head! Once again he wore a loose t-shirt with folded sleeves which means he openly exposing his armpit and his armpit hair directly in front of my face!!!

Please! who do you think you are mister???!!
Firstly, there is no need for you to fold your sleeves since no matter how you fold it, the sleeves are still way too big for your tiny arms, and secondly no need to flash your armpit since your are not FERNANDO TORRES wearing a body paint & shooting for PEPSI commercial!!

Curses of the day

Yesterday, me and my boyfriend waited the elevator with 3 other people from other companies that share the floor with the company I work for..
After waited several minutes the bell rang and one of the elevator doors were opened, and all of us headed there.
But when I was in front of the lift, suddenly the doors are closing (on purpose, by the people inside and by the people who waited together with me)
I didn't want to stuck my hands between the doors because it is a quite old elevator with no sensor.
Angry, I pound the door without result. What made me more upset is the giggle I heard from the b*****s inside.
Grrr...
People with no manner!

As usual, an angry me always make curses to help me feel better. So, this time the winning curse for them is:
"got in a bus, the bus is very crowded, no seat available, has to stand beside a very very very smelly person, the bus stuck in the traffic"

hohoho.. cruel enough?

Jakarta and Bali

What are the differences between Jakarta and Bali? Why Bali is so popular among foreign tourist while Jakarta is not? The answer can be a lot of things. It could be the beautiful beaches Bali has, the mountains, the tradition, or the unique souvenirs.

But for me, the main difference is because Jakarta people can not learn when to shut their mouth. This morning, I went to my meeting place with my friend as usual (I go together with my friends everyday to the office). I wore my company jacket which is slightly oversize. And when I walked passed two men, one of them yelled, "Loh, kok ga ada tangannya!"

Why? why did he have to say things like that? Why can't he just shut his mouth and let the pedestrian walked by in peace? and not only this people, most of "tukang ojek, anak-anak muda pengangguran" does the same things. Not only the boys, but the girls also. Pissed me off!

When I went to Bali, everything was so different. No "mulut-mulut jahil" everywhere, no matter what I wear or what I do.

I implore the Jakarta government to put "people education about basic manner" as one of their top priorities, if they want to improve Jakarta Tourism. Let the tourist feel save not just physically and belongings save, but emotionally save.
