liting you jinx.

sounds like a sad blogpost already? haha no lah! it's actually quite amusing ok :P

here's what happened.

the east bound MRT we were travelling had just left aljunied MRT station, en route to Paya Lebar. We are squashed between 2 men and a woman, tired, and grabbing on to the pole trying hard not to fall. we're talking, mostly gibberish, and the 3 people surrounding us are irritated because we were making lots of noise. (who needs 3 women to make a market? with us you only need 2.)

anyway, the train suddenly jerks and comes to a stop in the middle of nowhere. We're not at a station, it's dark outside and we're all recovering from losing our balance. the PA system comes on.

'Dear Passangers, train services will resume shortly.'

i feel unusually mad, so i say to my friend mel: 'the next thing you know, the lights are going to go off, the airconditioning is going to shut down and we're all going to suffocate and die.'

we're both laughing, and mel says: 'dont jinx the train.'

then, suddenly, the lights went out. we're standing in darkness, stunned by the sudden loss of light. mel looks at me nervously, and then, the air con shuts down. we're standing in the dark, and it's getting hot and stuffy. the driver comes on the PA system and says:

'ladies and gentlemen, we're experiencing some technical difficulties and train services will resume shortly. Sorry for any inconvienience caused.'

and we stand there, in the dark, stuffy MRT carraige for round about 10 minutes, all the time imagining who we'll call if we really had to die there.

the lights begin to flicker, and mel's face exudes a glimmer of hope. Then, the lights go off. again! mel turns to me and says: 'tings, you've jinxed the entire train.'

well. mebbe i did. cause i feel unusually evil today. hehe. :P

ok i just came on to type that. hehe. :P I'm gone! :)

waiting there for nothing at all
