Shoutout of the Day: Sigh, I wanna go shopping! :(:(

But no time, no time! Work and boring school has eaten up all my free time. ARGH. But I shant complain right now. SAVE, ADDY! SAVEEE!! $_$

Work’s fine today, yesterday Cat was on MC again because of her sprain and I was so flustered that it was Kiwi and me again. Not that we dont get along well - we do pretty much in fact can laugh and insult each other now - but it’s not easy doing closing with 2 person! Plus the VISA machine cropped up problems and it was only 1130PM that we could close the system. I’m so sad that I decided not to buy Mac’s vanilla milkshake before work. It would have cheer me up greatly!

Loads of fun today, with a little bit of piss-face me during closing but I shant elaborate. =X 

And I’m happy because Jes and my aunts came to visit me and buy some stuff :D Yayness! I loveeee.

I found myself observing my surroundings recently in Tampines Mall area, and to my great sadness, I discovered alot of people begging for money. One that totally makes me wonder is this bald cascausian-looking guy with this long long white beard, kneeling on a cushion in the middle of the interchange with both of his plams cupped together. That was today. I saw him doing the exact same thing, in the same position in front of the MRT yesterday.

What makes me ponder was..

What was the man doing there?
Has he become so desperate as to kneel in front of the busiest place, attracting gazillions backward glances from passer-bys? I even saw a elderly woman stopped beside him and talked to him! And I saw him telling her something before I finally managed to tear my gaze away..

What a sad image.

From the walk from interchange to TM itself, every turn I took, I’ll see a sad image.

5 steps, a man with no right arm and leg, sitting on the dirty floor with a container to put money in.
3 steps, a old woman sitting in a wheelchair selling sweep tickets.
4 steps, a Malay woman with sad eyes sitting at the corner outside the MRT.
2 steps, an old man playing his er hu, a container by his feet.
1 step, ahhhh that same middle-aged, quite nicely dressed woman whom I always see around TM, going around to random people, begging them for money, telling them she got cheated etc etc. To date, I think I saw her thrice already.

And sometimes when I knocked off after work, very often I’ll see this mother holding this little girl’s hand, going about the MRT area asking people to buy tissues. The little girl is very young, and she was hugging a teddy bear.

Aw. :(

What a sad world sometimes it appears to be.

I actually got lots more to say but work tomorrow! So, it’s time to put the night cap on :)

Something totally random, Ah Mei’s Ting Hai touched me tonight.
