Singapore Signs at Their Best 4

Yay! My favorite (and only) section of this blog! Get ready for the January edition of the best signs Singapore has to offer!

This is a poster in the MRT where they justify their work on the the railways. Although I am not a big fan of the spoiled girl in the comic I really like her expressions. Every single one of them is fantastic: the first one, where she is in love with the cake, then her way of jumping home after buying the awesome cake, the expression of shock on the MRT and finally her broken-hearted crying in the end. If all it takes to make this small girl happy is to change the entire rails of the Singaporean MRT, then who are we not to do it! 

WHAT?

(No, really. Can anyone tell me what they are trying to say on the sole of this high-hell shoe? ANYONE?!)

I found this sign especially amusing after having lived in the Studentenstadt for 3 years. There, we would buy our bikes intentionally old and ugly so noone would steal them because we had an average of a million stolen bikes a week (actual numbers). I am not kidding. Everyone there has had a bike stolen at some point. They even stole mine! They would have to put up one of these signs anouncing THREE stolen bikes every 45 minutes... And here they have had 3 stolen bikes IN A YEAR! Back in Munich this same sign would have been a sign of celebration. :D

Hahaha I really enjoy this one! What to do if your mobile phone falls into the rails? (After spending some time here I am pretty sure people would, indeed risk their lives to get their iPhone/Samsung back, so this sign was probably put up out of necessity... The end is not very clear, though. Apart from the angry look on the woman's face we cannot know whether the SMRT wants us to strip nacked and tie our clothes together in order to get our belongingss back or not. I mean, he is not eating or drinking, nor is he carrying any explosives or durians... Also the woman at the bottom seems pretty entertained and happy... I'll definitely keep this in mind if I ever drop anything

PS: This sing seems rather useless now, because all the stations I have been at so far have a glass barrier so there is no way you can either drop your phone or go down to the rails unless you manage to squeeze between the platform and the train when the doors are open...

I'll keep my eyes open for more of these! :)
