Wow! This post will mark my 100th post! I think the blogging frenzy has somehow died.
Anyway. I was so touched by what I saw 3 days ago. It let me see the good, rare side of Singaporeans again.
This old lady was using this long white stick to path her way. Beside her was this middle aged guy, helping her along the way. Instruct her when to tap her card, when to take the right step to take the escalator. At first, I thought this guy was her husband/assistant or something. He was patient and cautious. But he left soon after she was safe at the bus stop.
I observed her as she started walking forward. It was a big road ahead. I took a step forward, wanting to help her, but another nerdy-looking man 'cut' me. He walked slowly behind her, but soon left when his bus came.
Not long after, this young guy went up to her and asked her what bus she was waiting for. So happen that the young guy was taking the same bus. When the bus arrived, EVERYONE waited patiently as he helped her up the bus. Even your typically aunties and kiasu uncles waited. What a rare sight! Anyway. The young lad offered to tap her card on her behalf and led her to a seat and seated at the seat behind her.
I call this LOVE.
You see, we complain so much. Everything. Nothing seems enough for us. Wants are unlimited. Sometimes, I feel guilty when I have greedy thoughts. Sigh.
I tried to walk closing my eyes while walking home. I can't. After 5 seconds, it was a natural instinct of fear to open my eyes. I'm just fortunate that I have a pair of eyes to see the beautiful things and unpleasant side of this world. :D
