I told myself just now, - i'm so gonna blog this down later. So here i go!
Was on my way for yoga class. Some Filipino women entered the train with a trendy-cute-yet-nerdy angmo. Despite tuning in to my MP3 player, i could hear them talk (or rather, chatter). This particular one commented cheekily abt the angmo's body, "I can tell it's flat (referring to his abs) but not sure if it's firm?" Another one added,"Oh..she wants to try". That almost made me puke (considering these words didn't come out from aesthetically pleasing beings...i'm mean, i know :P). I then tried to distract myself from "eavesdropping" into yuckier conversations.
Next, a pregnant lady walked in. A sporty gal gave up her seat. Then, that PH woman did the most disgusting thing! She jumped onto the seat! The people ard were stunned! Her angmo friend immediately told her (while pointing to the expectant lady}, "But she's pregnant!". She stood up, not the least ashamed, responded,"I'm pregnant too!" and showed off her tummy. OH MY GOD! I was near to saying, "That's called fat, not pregnant!". Eventually, the seat was given to the pregnant lady.
Talk abt not being gracious. It's not just Singaporeans or whichever nationality. It's more abt personal upbringing.
