While in a jam...

Owning to the wonders of technology, I am blogging while in a jam now.
Hope I wun be late for work later since I made the attempt to slp before 11 the previous nite n left home slightly earlier than normal.
There again, looking at the traffic fr the window, things dun seemed to look that positive though :(
Getting to work these days is like a test of our patience. Dun u agree?
I seriously felt so only recently, when the traffic situation was further aggravated by the heavy downpour. I dun remember it was that bad when i first started working. Now, even the MRT, often thought as the most reliable means of transport, was of no help at all. Apparently, they were so packed to such an extend that you are almost immediately rejected from entry. The cycle repeats itself until the 'N'th train paases can you then managed to squeeze up to one.
Sometimes I really wonder whether a non 9-5 job might be better.
Having been to a couple of places nearby, i have nv gotten caught in such frustrations before during rush hours, not even in Japan. But perhaps, it is their gracefulness that might have made things much better. Their train might not have been less packed, but at least they dun push and force their way up. They do it with so much grace that all the 'sufferings' doesn't seem to matter anymore.
I wouldn't be surprised if it ever take me 2 hours to get to work in a country that is only equivalent to a red dot on the world map one day. That is if the relevant authority decides to wash their hands off the rapidly growing sudden flux in population. *fingers crossed*
