Taking the lift is like watching a silent movie. The careful synchronization of eye avoiding (May God save you if you catches any eye! Im positive your head will KA BA BOOM within a millisecond if you do! Then your eyes will BOOM out of your head, roll on the floor and drop into the gutter, washed away by sewage). The artificial silence, save the rustling of fabrics (the clothes does the talking in the lift). The hushed glares at evil little gnomes whose threatening to throw up noises (Kids nowadays!Aiyo!).
But all those are not vital to a LiftExperience.
The part which NOBODY will ever miss is the Championship of First-Out-Of-The-Lift. Now that’s the most important part of the whole experience! What’s the fun of going through an agonizing 15s ride, enclosed in a cramped space smelling people’s odor without trying your luck at winning this Championship??
And if you think LiftExperience is tough, think again. Wait till you hear about the next event.
Getting To The BusStop/TrainStation.
Danger’s everywhere alright! Singapore has a low crime rate. BBBUUUUUUTTTTT low crime doesn’t mean no crime! Stepping out of the lift is easy. However, you have to learn to shield yourself from all the daggers attacking from all round you. There’s a saying, if you can’t fight it, join it! So if you cant come up with a more deathly stare, make sure your sight remains glued to the ground en route to the destination.
I repeat, GLUE YOUR EYES TO THE GROUND. This is all for your own good. Only when you have perfected a glare which puts X-Men to shame(like me), then should you challenge others to the staring competition(which I have won countless of times).
Moving on, there’s the FastestButtFirst.
Although this tests your limbs coordination, it does not necessarily mean you absolutely have to chop a seat by dropping your butt on the seat first!
Let me, the Guru, share an eye-opening experience with you. An old uncle wanted to chop a seat for his old butt to rest on. But as I say, he’s old. Of course he cannot outfight/outstep us youngsters. Therefore, he put his creative brains to use (Government says must use brains okies!). He blew a big salivary ah-choo all over the seat he wants. Effective I have to say. MOST efficient method by far.
However, I understand that it takes a lot of lung power, a good aim, a strong determination and quick thinking to be able to accomplish such a feat. Therefore, I suggest using MY method. Short, sweet, simple and easy.
First, prepare a piece of tissue. 2ndly, slowly cleanse one nostril with your forefinger (it’s the most flexible and depth-reaching finger). Repeat Step 2 using the other forefinger on the other nostril. Hold on to those precious gems clinging onto your fingers!
When the doors opened for boarding, dash in quickly and carefully spread your gems on, under and around the seats! You will be surprised at the area your gems can cover!
Now that I have covered the basics of TravellingTheSingaporeanWay, you can practice and perfect your skills. Its never too late to learn!
