after some observation, i realised that the best way to identify singaporeanism is by observing ppl's behavior on the 3 public transport.
BUS:
1. seating on the aisle side of the seat, delibrately leaving the inside seat empty yet inacessible
2. standing right smack in the center of the aisle midway during morning rush hour, rufusing to move in nor let ppl thru, yet giving the "why is the bus so squeezy?" look.
3. chit chatting with the bus driver in a desprate attempt to distract his attention from the fact that u cant afford the bus fare.
4. acting like ur blnd so u dun have to pay the fare.
5. mothers insisting that their child are too young thus need not pay.
6. when tapping ur ezlink card once is never enough.
MRT:
1. at the station, a long queue is formd up by ppl waiting to gt their hands on a free copy of 'Today' or 'My Paper'
2. when waiting for train to arrive, delibrately standing at the door so u'll be the first to rush in.
3. leaning on the pole in the train, depriving everyone else of sth to hold on to.
4. standing right at the door when your not alighting anytime soon.
5. pretending to be sleeping when u see a pregnant lady step in.
Taxi:
1. trying to out-queue each other by standing higher up along the road.
2. flagging a cap 100m before a taxi stand.
3. taxi driver charging passengers even the 10 cents that jumped when the vehicle stopped.
thats as much as i can think of now. still proud to be singaporean? i am.
