Gina is a babe
September 28, 2008
On the train today, I finally took a photo of this graffiti that stands out amongst many. It’s a simple bold statement and the reason behind it is curious. It reads “Gina is a babe”. Who is Gina? Who wrote this? Was it herself? Did anyone doubt she was a babe? Did she change sex [...]

Can trap danger
September 24, 2008
On the train today, you have to be careful. Look around you. Look above you. There are hidden traps ready to trigger when you least expect it. Like this can of drink barely holding to a ceiling grid with a straw. Very clever. And very funny too! You never know when it will fall and [...]
Energy Fix
September 24, 2008
On the train today, people needed energy. And coffee is not enough these days. So they get it from an energy drink concentrated with caffeine, sugar and some natural extracts claimed to wake up your body and mind. It’s becoming increasingly popular. It used to be mostly tradies (physical workers). But now it’s becoming more [...]
MX – the commuter’s paper
September 23, 2008
On the train today, everyone is reading MX. It’s the free newspaper handed out to commuters every afternoon at the major train stations in the city. It’s amazing how easy it is to make people read something. Stand in their way while they are rushing to catch that train and reach out to hand them [...]
Bike on a train
September 23, 2008
On the train today, a man is saving the environment. He uses a bike. A bike on train. It’s a busy train, so people are standing up. The man with the bike is sitting down. And the bike is placed between two poles, blocking at least two empty seats. But it doesn’t matter. This man [...]
Medical emergency to go home
September 19, 2008
On the train today, there was a medical emergency. The driver requested the help of any nurses or doctors on board. There seemed to be none where I was sitting. Only people complaining. At the next stop, the train could not proceed. The driver announced that another train was leaving from a different platform in [...]
Strange lady noting what?
September 19, 2008
On the train today, I was looking out the window. On the platform I saw this big lady wearing a brown cape on top of her black and white spotted top, and a green hood. She was standing under a tree beside her fold-up chair with a cola drink. She was looking around and taking [...]
Escape to the stars
September 19, 2008
On the train today I’m thinking. I would not be surprised at all if someone like the USA government had an evacuation system to take a few select people to the moon, in case the world was going to end. Who knows? Maybe they have secretly been building a self-sustainable station on the moon, or [...]
