You cannot Reminisce something.
You reminisce ABOUT something.
ie you can't reminisce your old school days.
Please, please someone kill all the radio DJs who are corrupting the language, or at least send them to a re-education center.
**********
Demise. You cannot demise.
You can mourn your demise. Well ok technically you can't.
The point being Demise is a NOUN. not a VERB.
Please someone kill all the housemen who are destroying my sanity every friday. Before I do.

Don't break the window
A lot of news space wasted villifying or vindicating the guy who broke the train window eh.
I think we're missing the point.
If I recall correctly, trains in the UK have little axes in an emergency container - specifically for breaking the glass in case of entrapment.
Don't break the window / force the door open, wait for help says SMRT.
So what happens if help doesn't come in time? Or if the train's on fire? Just suffocate or burn to death?
How come there isn't a safety feature in our shiny, shiny trains to let us get out fast fast if we need to?
Brave third new world.

'We were sitting there, getting hotter and hotter. People were fanning themselves, it was very stuffy,' she said.
A 41-year-old woman was sent to the hospital after she fainted on the train. One commuter even broke a window using a fire extinguisher to let air in.
Said SMRT's senior vice-president for communications and services, Mr Goh Chee Kong: 'At that point in time we're aware that it was very crowded.
'So when it was very crowded, the ventilation for some people, they do not feel it.'
Hmm.
Ventilation no enough.
Isn't that called... hypoventilation?
Let's summarize :
SMRT : Got air coming in what, only you cannot feel - so you all talking rubbish
Reality : ppl say they can't breathe, someone collaps... i mean faints. Perhaps not enough air because consumption greater than delivery (that's what crowds tend to do... use up air faster and put out more carbon dioxide) and the little trickle of ventilation coming in is getting used up by all the inconsiderate people nearer the air vents?
Meaning... the ventilation system not good enough?
