strange encounter..
was on the way home on the mrt...
quite packed..
after khatib mrt, most of the pedestrians had left the cabin..
then i saw an old man standing..
poor thing, i think he has been standing for some time already...some really idiot sporeans...
but i also never gave up my seat to him, firstly i am sure there will be seats once we reach yishun, 2ndly i myself is having a sick knee, 3rdly damn stoned.. lastly...i dun really like to walk a distance to give my seats cos they may get seated by someone else n i will embarrassed the other person who shld but did not give up his seat. but given all the points above not established, i would still give up my seat to someone who is in need even if i have to walk a distance.
anyway, somehow we saw each other...
then suddenly he walked towards me...
i was a bit shocked...
he told me he lost his way...
he thot he took the wrong direction...
firstly i gave him my seat then ask him where he is going...
i couldnt hear him properly really...
but i think he say he board the train at braddell n is going towards jurong east...
nothing wrong in my sense but he says he usually take the other way...
which seems to be further i think...
but he kept saying this is not the usual way n he is lost...
so i just tell him this way will reach jurong east too
however he still seem worried..
so i just stoodby him n kept talking to him n tell him this way he could reach jurong east too...
slowly he became more relaxed...
and he say he wont dare to go out at night anymore with a smile on his face...
that feeling was good...
someone trusted me n was grateful...
i wonder he chose to ask me by choice or by chance......................
