suddenly, I acknowledge the crisis that Singapore is facing.. didn't realise it till now.. Aging population does pose a big problem after all, I guess. It isn't merely abt rising medical costs, imposing heavier taxes on every working adult and building elderly friendly facilities..

not a discrimination statement here.. but some of the elderly are really the black sheep.. they spoil the image of the kind-hearted, joyful looking elderly that we have in our hearts.. yesterday, Ls and I saw an old man taking off one of his slippers in the mrt train and put the leg over the other.. what's worse is he shakes his legs.. lol.. and in the end, nobody dares to sit beside him.. fine loh, he ming2 zheng4 yan2 shun4 occupies 2 seats..

This is not all.. today, I saw worse.. I was on 854 earlier and I saw the auntie in early sixties sitting in front of me digging her soles!! can u imagine it?? I was sitting on those 'higher' seats and I can see her actions clearly.. and u noe what? her legs are very dirty with brownish dirt on it.. omg.. thinking of it makes me feel like puking.. yucks.. and what is more unlucly is that the bus is infested with cockroaches.. immediately, I alighted at the next stop.. I would rather switch to another bus than sit in it any longer.. honestly, I am angry cos not only is the action unhygienic, it is also inconsiderate to the other passengers.. what right does they have to make the other passengers annoyed and disguisted when they are all paying the same fare for the transport? It just isn't fair..

haiz.. and sad to say, to think the govt is putting on its guard against SARS, avian bird flu etc.. trying so hard to prevent the disease from entering Singapore.. all those talk abt practising hygiene in public toilets and hawker centres.. they shld extend it to the elderly.. Cos if there is really a virus in our country, these elderly ppl will be the major 'vectors' spreading all the germs around.. so, educate them now and make them pay fines if they are still so unhygenic.. They simply need to be educated.
