Guy in his mid twenties waiting for time to pass by... Till a special someone reappears...

How do you go on when in your heart you understand there's no going back, For there are things time can't mend, Hurts that go deep & have taken hold..

To love and be loved in return is the greatest thing you will ever learn.

Sunday, April 02, 2006 - Strange Incidents :

On the way back school, I went to JP to packet my dinner. Along the pathway of the interchange, sat a handicapped begging for money. I didnt feel good just passing by him, but did anyway, and went to the 'dian xin' store to buy 'zhui kuei'.

At the store after I ordered my 'zhui kuei', an old man came along. He was in dirty outfit holding a plastic bottle in hand. There he was, as the shop lady was packeting my food, ranting to me and the shop lady about how nice it is to have food. I was almost stunned and lost for words then, and in my mind, I was thinking, "Is this old man asking for food? Should I get something for him?"

"Do you want chilli?", asked the shop lady. Apparently she seems to be ignoring the old man. Still feeling stunned, I turned and simply replied "yes" instead of the usual, "a little will do". Then as I paying up for my food, the old man disappeared. Still plagued by the incident, as I was passing by the handicapped beggar, I drop a dollar into his paper bowl.

To think of it, I had another strange incident two weeks ago, also on a sunday. Was waiting for a 165 bus to clementi when an indian elderly came up to me, asking if I had some coins to spare him. He mentioned he was short of a dollar and 20 cents to take transport home. Regardless if his intentions are true, I searched my wallet and passed him his requested amount of cash. Then, he asked me again that if I could give him 3 dollars instead. I begin to doubt his intents asking him why so. He said that to purchase the mrt card to Yishun, it would require a 1 dollar deposit. Even thought I was unsatisfied with his story, I decided to end this incident and handled him 3 dollars. Thanking me for the 'generous' donation, he then left.
