City Neurotics

I decided today, to walk to the LRT station (45 minutes away from the apartment) instead of driving. Even though it was hot and humid, it felt really good to have taken things slow today.

City living has turned us into neurotic idiots. I catch myself doing the silliest things, and thinking the stupidest kiasu (afraid to lose, afraid to lose out) thoughts. My fellow KLites, have you ever:

- Trailed people from the shopping centre exit to their cars, especially when
the mall is packed and parking is sparse?
- Apply makeup and/or eat breakfast in your car, on your way to work?
- Put on your hazard lights (so that both left and right signal lights are
blinking) when you see somebody walking towards their car, but you are not
sure if they have parked to your left or your right?
- Waved your middle finger at another driver?
- Ran to the train and squeezed yourself through the shutting doors?
- Factored in the bad traffic and give yourself 1 hour to get to your destination
and another ½ to find a place to park – so you leave 1 ½ hours before your
appointment?
- Spent RM20 on parking fees in a day?
- Schedule for a 10pm dentist appointment?

Yes?

No?

Maybe it’s just me.

But I like city living.
