笨mummy took the train today instead of waiting for the express bus - 502 as the 'TranSGuide" application on her iPhone shown "no prediction" when she checked when that bus is going to arrive at her bus stop.
A 5min bus ride from her stop to the bus stop A, and a 15min walk from the bus stop A to the MRT station and take the West-East line. This is follow by 30min of standing in a packed train with foreign workers, elderly (refering to aunties and uncles who need to get up early to go to work, not retirees) and students with their bulky bags. When the train stops at Jurong East Station, it was already 人山人海, and the people are waiting to come into the train. That reminded 笨mummy of a scene in Resident Evil where the zombies gathered around to attack a car.
This is not the end yet. 笨mummy needs to get off at Raffles Place MRT station to change to the North South line to Novena. This is normally where 笨mummy can finally get to sit down after 50min of standing and walking and enjoy the rest of the ride.
Normally the train arrived at the station, it was already 10% filled with foreign workers with darker skin colour. 笨mummy just cannot figure out where these workers come from since the station before Raffles Place is Marina Bay and it is not possible to have workers dormitories located in that part of Singapore. At City Hall, more commuters including foreign workers got into the train and the train is getting packed again. This time, they are workers from the "middle kingdom".
Finally at Orchard Road, most of the people get off including foreign workers. And this is the part where 笨mummy starts to love her ride. But it only lasts for less than 10min or only about 12% of her travelling time of 1 hour 20min.
