>> PREGNANCY DOESN'T COUNT! | FEBRUARY 2008
november 2007 | bus #168 to tampines - singapore
i took this picture a while ago towards the end of 2007. at the time, i was almost 5 months pregnant and my belly bump has already started to show. though people keep telling me that i don't look pregnant yet, i thought it was already obvious. hence, people on public bus or MRT still won't give up their seat when they see me on board. i wonder if it's because they're just plain intolerant or because they are not quite sure if i was pregnant or not. in any other day, i don't really care if they won't give up their seat for me, but during that period, i was experiencing a lot of dizziness if i stand up too long due to my low blood count.
then i saw this sign on the bus i took to work. the sign says to offer the seats to the elderly, the disabled, or those with children. nothing says for pregnant women! that's why they don't feel oblige to give up their seats. *sigh*Labels: 2008
