People-watching on the trains has become a daily event for me. It has also become an event for me that I travel at around the same timing, at the same train door etc etc....
Today, I saw Ms Joker. She was at the same seat as she was the last time I saw her. No fiddling of phones today, but she certainly got a pretty dress today. It's green with embroidery, you know, that indian-indian, ethnic kind. And over it she put on a black cardigan. Which is not wrong theorectically speaking, cos the weather seemed to be turning cold.
(I was contemplating whether should I don one of the new jackets I bought last friday, but then I thought, no meeting today, gotta do delivery, so abandon the idea.)
And then there is a new person to watch.
Ms I-Love-Indian-Music-and-I-am-BLASTING-it-through-the-earphones-I-bought-from-Mustafa Centre-so-you-can-share-my-joy-too.
Saw her yesterday, and today. I reckon she would be another character to watch too. I can't help but concoct my imagery of her background... From her dressing, she seems to be working as a recep, or a data entry clerk, or maybe other clerical duties. And she is a decent girl with decent household, maybe a lower income group family.
Then, there is another tall girl I saw. Even taller than me, I guess, but I think she wore a bit of heels. 'Cos I only caught a glimpse of her when I board the train, and she sat down at the 2nd stop. Very elegantly dressed. Nice.
I want to dress like that too! But... my nature of job doesn't give me much opportunity to do so. (Who in their right mind does delivery in a black dress and black shawl and on heels, with her hair in a bun?!)
Not that I mind. You need to have a decently big pay packet to be able to dress like to work everyday. But some people just love to dress like that, even though that means it takes away 70% of their intake away. Can't blame them, sometimes their job requires them to look good, without a look-good paycheck. What to do.
Up the escalator, I saw the same back of a lady I saw yesterday. Yesterday she was in this elaborate green dress, today she's in green spaghetti. Hmmm.... noticed she loved to show off her back. This is the dunno-what time I see her back as I walk up the stairs of the station.
I got a lot of things to write huh.. just one morning already like write essay. Actually got another topic. But it has slipped my mind. Will write when it comes back.
