One thing Not Nice:
i went for my first day of work near raffles place mrt. since it was my first day, i desperately needed to ask for directions. the first 2 persons i approached dismissed me with a sian hand wave even before i started speaking! and i deliberately chose those 2 because everyone else was walking past so quickly, while they were just standing around. i am not sure if they think i was trying to sell things or do some surveys, but i wasnt even holding anything! bleah.... i think people in orchard are friendlier...
i dont' like it when people are cold... is it just a part of urbanisation? i hope when i go to work next time i wouldnt change to be like that... but i think it's easy for anyone of us to fall into that trap amidst all the competition and chaos.... that trap of just caring about my own business, and not caring about anything or anyone else anymore...
One thing Nice:
i was at tiong bahru mrt this time. was going up the escalator when this boy rushed past. he looked about 9 years old. behind him was another lady who was trying to catch up. the boy was saying "bu yao, bu yao! bu yong jing!"/ "don't! don't need!". he was carrying loads of plastic bags. and the lady, which i presume is the mom, kept saying "hen zhong! tai zhong le! gei wo na, ah boy!"/ "its heavy! it's too heavy! let me carry them, ah boy!". and the boy jus kept running up, and the mom just kept running up too. while both kept repeating what they said.
heehe......what a considerate pair! the boy is so sweet!!! the mom is so thoughtful!!! both think of the other's needs first before their own's.... i like them!!!! haha..... it's really heartwarming to see that.... =)
