why we're ugly

i was wif my uncle along some road in Bedok South earlier yesterday night when I saw a blind man at a zebra crossing near a junction. It looked as though he was trying unsuccessfully to cross the road as he waved his walking stick in the air.

My uncle wanted to get out of the car to help him since he was stopping at a red light but none of his passengers (my mother and me) knew how to drive so he figured it was probably not a safe choice.

So all we could do was sit there and hope that someone would help him. What I saw next broke my heart.

A man, seeing the blind man, just walked past him and crossed the road while staring at him without offering any help.

I wanted to honk at him and terrorize him into helping the poor man but a cyclist saw what was going on and offered to help the blind man.

Turns out he was trying to flag down a cab, hence the waving of the walking stick.

Still, the man who just walked past him should have stopped to ask if he needed help and possibly stay with him until a cab came.

Sometimes I hate the way Singaporeans can be so selfish and not offer help to others just because they might get embarrassed if it turns out that the person in question doesn't need any help.

I've seen situations in which people need help and others just look on. It's very disconcerting. Some of my friends don't understand why I give away money when strangers ask me for some after telling me a sob story. It's not that I have money to give away. But I often give them the benefit of the doubt. Maybe their husbands REALLY got retrenched and they've got no money.

Maybe they REALLY haven't had anything to eat because they've got no money, despite reeking of alcohol.

Believe me, I know that they're probably feeding me with bullshit. But maybe, just maybe they really need a little help. Who am I to say No, especially when I have the ability to help them?

This doesn't mean I'm better than anyone, really. I just think we need to help when we can, that's all. Because you'll never know when the tables turn and you're the one who needs help.

I am SO WISE. lol

as mentioned, nothing exciting happened today, apart from noticing that one of my lecturers had saggy boobs and long leg hair. Er yeah and another lecturer of mine had a great body man!! as in WOW. i jus can't help myself during the lecture. I was lk staring at his body all the way through the lecture.i kid you not!

Well at least i didnt get caught staring at him lk Zun did on one girl. :X Oops shall not say no more. kinda reprehensive.

anywaes after getting a good rollicking from my dear friend about the nigger which actually happened to be a Nigerian!!! I decided to get to noe more about her from one of the Seniors there.

and u noe wads? shes a bloody scholar!! gosh..i cant believe it. We should be glad to haf her here than the other way around man! lol..she wasn't actually posted to my class. Sad man.

hmm.

it turns out she wasn't actually one of Bob Marley ancestors. How quickly my bubble of excitement exploded. cmon ar...which idiot doesnt lk Bob Marley man.

i'm feeling a little remorseful towards her because she alwaes seemed to be in solitary. Yeah me, zun and aloy wanted to have a quick confab with her. But the prospect seems daunting. lol. Well tat's cos it's either her that doesnt lk to be mixed with or the ppl around her. Actually ethnic minorites don't appeal to me. lol!

okok i kid. kk enuff den.

We shall see whether i will eventually get to noe her better. Well, at least I got something relatively juicy outta this.

in any case, if anyone should feel like being her acquaintance and free her from her place of forlorn, please let me noe. i will love you like i love Milkshakes.
