crappy mrt ride

Have you ever experienced the need to poo while on a MRT?

Last night after dinner at a family friend's place at Sembawang, I was on my way home on the MRT when nature called. Ok I have a weak stomach and stomach ache is common, but this one was quite crappy. Every time the train reached a station I wanted to alight and use the station's toilet, but I endured. The long stretch from Khatib to Yio Chu Kang must have felt like some cross-Atlantic flight... Finally I endured 4 stations and managed to release the load back home. It must have looked like the Niagara waterfall.

This kind of mind over body isn't easy. At Ang Mo Kio Station I saw a kid wetting his pants. All of time to see a kid wetting his pants when I was holding back my crap!

Sometimes I wonder, why don't they build the station toilet inside the station, ie after going into the gates and stuff? I know some countries' train stations have their toilets near the platform, so you don't have to buy a new ticket after pooing.

But then, what if you are not taking the train but need to use the station's toilet?
