It's Christmas Eve tomorrow! Well, I know the exclamation mark makes me seem like I'm excited about it. However, I'm not.
You see, something happened today that made me realised the coldness of people nowadays.
Alright, a blind man, who was carrying big and small bags of keropok, boarded the train. An old man took the initiative to give up his seat, take note of the bolded words; it's an old man instead of someone who can take the long rides without sitting down. Alright, I was pretty surprised, until people moved away and didn't dare to sit beside him as if he's carrying a deadly virus. Most were women.
Then he started ask people two seats beside him, who's a god damn old lady, where was he. She ignored him! What the f*ck? I was wondering, "What if this poor guy is your son?" She'd probably feel terrible. Well, I'm not very proficient with Hokkien so I couldn't really understand what the blind guy was muttering, but he kept saying "Jia lat liao, jia lat liao," after that old lady ignored him about his whereabouts.
After a few more lines of the mutterings, I decided to ask him where he wanted to go, and he said he wanted to go to Raffles Place to change a train to go to Toa Payoh. He asked me where I lived and which station it was. One thing that is puzzling is that he kept asking me if I'm the same guy. Hmmm, maybe cause' I changed my volume? Well, this is not the point. Move back!
Alright, so I brought him to Toa Payoh, and there were 3, specifically 3, nice people, 2 gave him support when boarding the train(because of the curb), and the other lady took over me, and helped him through the gantry area in Toa Payoh.
I think Singapore needs more of these people. I mean, no one wants to be blind or handicapped, so why not help them when we're perfectly normal to brighten up their days? Concerning today's incident, no one gave a sh*t even when Christmas is coming. And I thought Christmas is all about sharing, caring and showing our love for people.
Well, I hope he's alright and sold most of his keropok. Oh yah, I bought one packet from him too, though not eaten yet. God bless him.
Anyway, training yesterday was great. I shot a 181 out of the 2 games counting score for the first time. I'm pretty satisfied though the second game ain't as good. On Tuesday, I shot a 199 in CDANS. I was damn unlucky. I needed only 7 pins to get a 200, but I got only 6! Crap. I've to admit that synthetic lanes are much easier to play and read. I could get mostly 160s nowadays, but only get around 140 - 150 at Marina Superbowl where they use wood lanes. Well, overall after all these trainings, I realised I really felt comfortable with my approach and had my average up-ed a little. Auntie Kat told me that I was a fast learner and picked up most of the things Uncle Henry and her taught me. However, she said she doesn't want me to progress too fast and wants to be get the foundation strong.
UP SAINTS!!!
