stranger thing have happened

|

strange #1 – no monies, no honey

Sistic – a little human touch, pls.

remember the musical we went – sing dollars? the reasons for the tix? jie & christon had to attend a memorial services.

we find it ridiculous that Sistic does not allow refund of tix unless the death cert is presented.

what?!

how do u asked for death cert?

are you able to say this?
‘hey bro, my condolences. btw. can i have your dad’s death cert? so that i can claim back $122 tix? no, it not alot of monies but still, it my hard-earned monies. u r my bro, u do understand right? so, when can i have the death cert?’

sure. i’m old enough to get it. they are running a business & not a charity organisation. yeap, i noe all abt the hassle of doing refund etc etc

still, we appreciate a little humanity.

why did we lose that? compassion – izzit too much to asked for?

can someone shifted the balance from monies-monies-monies to empathy?

strange #2 – ella ella

jurong stadium.

a man jogged pass me. its fine, except he was holding a umbrella in his hands.

whatsup?

that’s taking kaisu-ism wayyyyyy over the top.

i was so tempted to sing ‘ella ella eh eh eh’DSC00052

po chi pill & friends

|

this isnt abt me.

it my dad.

kor took the lift with dad and an uncle came into the lift.

dad greet the uncle with a smile and a introduction ‘this is my eldest son’ like me, kor gave a smile, a hello & a small wave.

after that. dad asked kor, u noe how i noe tat uncle?

his story: one day. dad bump into this uncle. the uncle look nervous, jumpy, agitated. my dad asked him, ‘wat wrong?’ uncle’s son having a bad diaherra & he is rushin out to buy some po chi pills for his son. dad happen to have some po chi pills in his bag & generously offer to the uncle. take it. uncle took it gracefully & they are friends!

how come?!

kindness of strangers !

i tink i need to learn from my dad. if i were him, i wont open my golden mouth to ask what’s wrong. i mean, how many of us will?!

the most i offered strangers are usually smiles and it usually enough to start a conversation ! i always have strangers toking to me either abt their day or the weather or sometink.. my smiles are only level 1, dad’s friendiness is level 5.  

let’s learn from the master.

auntie at my block

|

finally. i had time to write abt this lovely auntie at my block.

well, she wasn’t lovely initally. i had a bad impression of her. she always look hot & sweaty whenever i share the lift with her, worst she carried like 6 plastic bags with her all the time. she always look so untidy !

once, i even saw her gave some food to the cleaner at my block. hello, why is she so nice to those cleaner. fyi – i dislike foreigners.. they always urined at my block lift. gross..!

anyway. one of the morning, i left home with my dad and together we bumped into this auntie. she greet my dad with a smile & my dad proudly intro me as ‘my youngest daughter’ immediately, i gave auntie a smile & said a little hello.

of coz, days pass by..

until, i bump into the auntie again. she hold the lift for me eagerly, come in xiao mei mei. where your dad? i replied her. and as usual, she rummaged through her plastic bags. i day-dream. next tink i noe, the auntie thrust a small packet of biscuit to me, happily informing me ‘here take this, u can eat it in office. sometimes we r so busy, no time to eat. at least u can eat abit.’

i took her biscuit with both hands & immediately felt ashamed of myself.

i tink its human to form an opinion of others based purely on first impression, without knowing a single thing abt them..or a few known facts. everyone is guilty of this & i tink it happens to the best of us..

 come to think abt it. what abt others? when they have a opinion of me without first knowing me?

well, its life… i’ll live with it.

i’m sorry, there isn’t a nice conclusion to this entry ! Picture 023
