Un-glam BURRRRPPPPP of a girl... =X

Last Sunday night was a horrible experience.
I got a fright!!
Board the bus with Fat Fat.
After I scanned my ez-link card, a SUPER AWFUL, DEEP, LOUD, CLEAR, SCARY, FROG-ALIKE, UNCLE-LISH, OR RATHER OLD AH PEH-ISH BURPPPPPPPPP came right behind me.
And it lasted for about 40secs to 60secs?
This long withstanding burp really freaks me out.
A normal human's instinct is to turn to his/her back and take a look with the thoughts of a disgusting, uncouth old man or uncle being proud of his burp and returning you with that stupid stare back.
Thus, I did whatever I described above.
To my horrendous surprise, it's a female!!!
AND A YOUNG FEMALE who seems to be in her late 20s or early 30s!!!
Quickly, she said, 'Excuse Me' upon my disgusted, wide, frowning stare at her.
At that instant, I thought that she was so rude.
Moreover, she's wearing a cap and a pair of glasses, with a newly bought mop.
That makes me even more suspicious of her dress sense.
Could it be due to this habit she prolly always has, thus she has this need to cover up herself?
I have no idea.
That night, I felt quite embarrassing.
Even Fat Fat felt that too.
Because, everyone in the bus seems to be looking at us. LOL.
Okays, maybe we were being too over-sensitive.

But I really did caught someone's conversation within a family by chance.
That included the 2 kids in the family in which they were laughing and giggling away after the whole incident.
Upon this uncouth girl alighted off the bus, the kids were discussing with their parents about how funny this girl was burping like some old man and whether the cause of her weird burp was due to her having a heavy meal before.
At the end of the day, I seriously think perhaps she should visit a doctor to fix this problem or she should just learn to be considerate enough to soften her burp or cover her mouth if it's really so uncontrollable and give a prompt 'Excuse Me' at the very least.
In this case, people will prolly be more understanding and appreciative of her courteous mannerism.

Till now, I just couldn't accept such a scenario with a long and loud ah peh-ish burp coming from someone (especially a female counterpart) with a normal dress sense (Ignoring the cap wearing thingy in a night clocking an hour before mignight - PUN INTENDED).
To summarise my learning experience out of this entry.
Never judge a book by its cover. LOL.
