How a Quarrel Started in the Bus

There are 2 bus card reader, one in left and one in the right, in the front entrance of the Singapore Bus.



The entrance of the bus able to accommodate 2 passengers to board onto the bus at the same time. Naturally passenger near to the left door will used the left card reader to tap on their card and the right one for the right boarding passenger.

Last week I encountered one incident that I nearly quarrel with one lady. I board onto the bus using the right side and one Indian lady board onto the bus using the left side. When I wanted to tap my card on the left side card reader, the Indian lady just cut into my side and also tap on the same card reader. This causes the card reader reading error as it detected 2 cards. The Indian lady started to say that why am i so "Kam Jiong" meaning fear and wanted to do thing fast. I argue back to her saying that she should used the left side card reader and not the right side. You know what she replied. She say " Is I wish, none of your business". After hearing such replied, I was very angry but lucky I am not a person liked to quarrel if not base on the word that she used, a big quarrel will be started.

When back home, I started to do a self reflection and start to remind myself not to use word that will agitated people.
