well most people would like to say 'through my lens', 'through the corner of my eyes', 'through my eyeballs (maybe! LOL).. but what i wanna share with you guys was smth i saw just now.. when i was on the way to wei wen's hse to pick her up! something that i've seen and somehow it moves me.. well i wouldn't really put it as MOVE me.. but it gave a slight twinchin and pinching in my soul..
FIRST SIGHT
i saw an old lady walking with not one but TWO walking stick.. she was walking alone.. eventhough i wasn't sure where she was but she was at the front of her house walking into her house.. maybe its quite a short distance.. but then what made me feel sad was her neighbour who was driving an INNOVA with many ppl inside.. not one of them came down to help the poor old lady into the house.. yea i know she is ON THE WAY into her house but cmon people! she is walking so so so slowly with TWO METAL walking stick! you know.. the walking stick which has three cabang supporting itt!! and for crying out loud! SHE IS YOUR NEIGHBOURR!!
SECOND SIGHT
an old man wallking.. no wait he was hopping with one leg.. the other was swollen.. and he was only supported with the urm.. wait let me describe it.. ( u know the walking tool.. ppl in hospt use to get to the toilet.. its like a mini ampaian) .. yea.. he was only banking on that.. walking beside the tar road.. it was full with stones and roots.. i guess you can picture the condition.. maybe he was exercising.. but to think it rationally which old man would take a walk at 2.00 pm under the hot sun! i am pretty sure he has family members at home.. why wouldnt they ask him where he was going.. i can accept the fact if he wasnt hopping.. but the was hopping and he looked so weak.. he is definately not a beggar! he doesnt even look like one!!
well after reading you guys might be saying.. MINGRUI! WHY DIDN"T YOU GET DOWN AND HELP THIS TWO SENIOR CITIZENNSS?? honestly.. i was SHY! SCARED! and.. i dont know.. excuses! thats why ive decided to post this experience up to tell you guys that we should help this people! and I PROMISE TO MYSELF THAT I AM GONNA DO THE SAME IN FUTURE!! i am gonna ask them why are they doing here alone? why are you not home? do you need a ride home? well.. even if they turn down my offer at least i know that ive tried and i would feel so guilty like what i am feeling rite now. because everyone deserve to be cared for!
