Dropping Eaves

A lazy evening on the way home in a rather stuffed SMRT cabin without music to my ears and this is what my poor ears had to bare with:

Ah Beng: Wah lan Eh. I kanna warning letter today.

Ah Lian: Chey only one? I kanna 2 warning letters already ler. I think my third one coming soon liao.

Ah Lian: Aiyah, its only warning letters what, scared for what? I huat huat one. nobody can win me.

Ah Beng: No lah, im not scared la. How come you got 3 already? U always ponteng ah?

Ah Lian: I where got ponteng one. Just late la. Cannot wake up. Working OT at night. how to wake up in the morning. U tell me la.

Ah Beng: Set alarm properly la. So how come u always working OT one? U need the money ah?

Ah Lian: Of course la. if not work for what. why so blur one?

They alighted soon after. Thankfully. If only we'd compare whats said in Singapore's SMRT with London's Tube.

Here's a pick of other ramblings overheard in UK's tube on 22nd Sept 2005.

1. Indian people always eat Indian food and they don't explode.
2. It's not diamond. It's cubic zirconia on silver.
3. You can't see anything... it's too hazy.
4. All this shit about Kate Moss. Like everyone else in showbiz doesn't have a toot.
5. Defoe scores great individual goals, but he doesn't link play or score team goals.
6. Can we go somewhere new? I don't think I can stand another pizza.
7. The bloke from the Shield really looks like Ross Kemp. It's not that they're bald... it's because they have small mouths.
8. She doesn't have a name. They just call her "The Child".
9. I used to work in Kilburn and I always met nice Irish people.
10. The journey planner is shit. It takes you round the houses.
