Had a real harrowing experience on the MRT today. After a belated birthday celebration with my cousin tonight, we decided to catch the train home as the cab queue was just way too long. The minute we stepped into the train, i saw it. There it was, quietly perched at the top of the entrance of the train. It was watching us. No one seemed to notice its presence.
I nudged my cousin silently & pointed at it. She jumped. Her reaction caused this girl next to me to quake in fear and bury her head in her boyfriend’s chest. The train was packed. It was a late train… close to 11pm. My cousin and i weren’t sure what to do. I told her not to panic.
“Keep steady. I will keep my eye on it.”
After 15min, my cousin asked me if it had moved at all. I said no… it was still in the same spot. Suddenly, i saw it moving! My eyes opened wide in shock!
“It’s feelers are moving… it’s flying!”
My cousin turned, saw it fly, and we “siam-ed”. We traversed so speedily through the crowd that we moved from 1 door to the next in 3secs.
Bloody roach.
