:: serangoon... beep beep beep beep beep ::

i was still in slumberland when the train reached my stop. i don't know why i am so tired today. so i opened my eyes because i thought i heard the word "serangoon". i stretched my neck and tried to peer out of the train amidst the massive crowd. alright... it's really serangoon. some of the aunties are so fat i really wonder how did they get pass the ticket gate in the first place. and the people on the train are like so scared that if they move out of the train so that i can get out, the doors will immediately shut them out and move off. the world would be a much better place if their brains can be as big as their butts.

so i hurriedly got my ass off the chair and tried to squeeze my way out of the train. but damn it. my left leg is numb and i cannot walk. i nearly fell down and i had to hold on to the railings and tried to skip out of the train with my right leg. everyone around me was looking at what i was trying to do and i vividly remember a few of them raising an eyebrow. and no one helped me! not that i want them to help also, it's so embarassing already. i just want to get out of the train, fast.

i managed to free myself from the sardine packed train before the doors closed on me. so i tried to walk again. cannot! my left ankle has totally lost all feelings and i can't feel it either. it's like the entire leg has became useless. so i had to choose between skipping on one leg again or just stand there. the train station is quite crowded as it's the rush hour. i had enough of making a fool outta myself, so i decided to stand there. so i squatted down, despite the scary thought of losing my balance and falling flat on my face, and pretended to tie my shoelace.

then the worse part came. my leg regained a little bit of its life and i can feel it. it sure feels like a thousand needles poking at the bone. anyway i figured that standing there or pretending to tie my shoelace seems like quite lame an idea because i noticed people beginning to stare at me. so i decided to try to make my way up the escalator. i had to limp my way to it.

as i thought my nightmare was gonna be over, i was in for a big surprise. when the escalator is about to reach the top, my leg can't move again. i was petrified. i've seen news of people falling down escalators and they always end up badly disfigured. but luckily i managed to stabilize myself and limped my way off the escalator.

i think it will be a long time before i would fall asleep on the train again.
