Wake up in the morning, feeling like P-atricia Mok
On a bright sunny morning, Xiao Ming goes to the market.
Except Xiao Ming now works at Raffles Place. And he lives in Jurong East. And the MRT is the only way to get to the office.
To the nameless warriors who spend every morning on the train towards town, we feel you. This is for all of us:
1. You finally get out of bed after hitting the snooze button. Because, what could be better than starting the day with some procrastination.


Source

2. But you get in the shower, convinced that nothing can ruin your day. Not even the transport to work.


Source

3. You mentally prepare yourself for the journey

Source
4. But maybe spend a bit too long getting ready


Source

5. So you run out at lightning speed to catch the MRT


Source

6. But when you get to the MRT station and see the morning crowd..


Source

7. The idiot in front of you at the gantry forgot to top up his EZ-link card

Source
8. When your own EZ-link card gets declined


Source

9. You finally get to the platform and see the beelines forming at the doors


Source

10. And then someone tries to cut the line


Source

11. You look at the board and it says that the next train will arrive in four minutes. You try not to lose it.


Source

12. The do-not-board train arrives. It’s okay, I’ve been cheated on before.


Source

13. And then, the actual train finally arrives and what was an orderly queue turns into a stampede


Source

14. When you finally make it through the train doors


Source

15. But all the handrails are taken


Source

16. You stand and silently judge everyone around you


Source

17. And try not to fall asleep standing


Source

18. But then something wakes you up. There is a reason why people should not speak in the morning, especially those with morning breath.


Source

19. When someone sitting in the middle seat tries to get up, push and wiggle his way across long before his stop


Source

20. When the passenger sitting in front of you alights, and you think you finally get a chance to sit. But no. Angry-bird aunty swoops in from god-knows-where.


Source

21. But its okay, something else catches your eye. It’s a hot guy at the end of the cabin.


Source

22. You try to make eye-contact


Source

23. But then you remember that you look like this


Source

24. So you stare blankly at your phone like it is the most divine creation since God made pizza


Source

25. Finally, it’s your stop!


Source

26. And then you realise that you’ll have to do this all over again tomorrow.
