hello everybody! i shall start posting almost everyday from now on since baby dearest complains that my blog moves as fast a snail. haha! i've got lots of things to post about on the events that have been occuring the few days before but i'm kinda lazy to type so much so i'll just keep it simple alright? (:

Friday

ah it is on this day that i have once again obtained and embraced the priceless feeling of helping an old folk.
I was on the way back to school. just after meeting baby dearest, and i was at clementi station and i was on the lift down to street level when there was this old lady with a plywood cupboard about a metre tall who was on the lift as well. so when she got off the lift, she lifted the cupboard and started walking to wherever she was going. And of course she was having difficulty doing so. I was in a rush to get back to school for ncc training, but i thought i'd have one chance to help this old lady, so might as well do it now (: so i went over, told her i was willing to help her carry the cupboard, and when she insisted that she didnt need help, i just lifted the cupboard for her (i know how stubborn some old ladies can be) ! (: immediately, that priceless, wrinkled cheek to cheek smile just came out (: now thats what life's about (: walking, i asked her where she stayed. she said about 8 blocks from where we were and insisted that after we crossed the road she didn't need anymore help. ignorant i insisted that i carried it till i got to the lift of her lift (: she asked if i was in a rush and sorry auntie i had to lie to you so you wouldn't feel so bad, but i told her i was on the way home! haha! we walked and chatted for a while.

Just the two of us, 2 generations apart, yet the bond for human to human love could be felt, thats the untouchable, priceless feeling of helping a stranger. Then, you realize both of you aren't really strangers after all, for we all share a common bond. And that bond is, love. We all have love for one another, sadly material things and influences have made it unnoticeable. Love, its still there in between every one of us, covered by a layer of dust, waiting to be swept away (: anyway, back to the chatting. apparently the cupboard had came from her sister who was staying somewhere around clementi as well. haha. and i was asking her, why she didnt get someone else to carry it. And she told me her son was out at work. Well, we soon got to the void deck where she saw her neighbour, whom had mistaken me for her grandson! haha! well, we waved our goodbyes and that was the last i saw her priceless smile (:

Then, that wonderful, gut-twisting emotion came. Something i haven't felt in a couple of months now. i've always thought of helping people in a sense that, if someone needs help, we should go all out to help that particular person no matter what he or she has done before. We should give more second chances, for the people who try harder each time yet still fail. They shouldn't be neglected by society, instead society should help them. For you never know, the person you help might be someone who plays an important role in your life. Love one another, care for one another, for you never know, it may be the last chance you ever can.

and now, readers of my blog, i'm so freaking tired of typing, i wont post about the few days after last friday except for a simple post about today. my apologies for my laziness (:
