Am on MRT and have found a space where I can lean against partition, balance bag, get phone out and send a quick WhatsApp before I get to the station. Race to finish sending message before train pulls in. Shuffle forward ready to get off. Train slows. Tap out last words “…just on train” then press send. Doors open, step off…

…straight into the person I was texting, who was waiting patiently for doors to open watching me through the glass and laughing. Really only in Sing.
