ashame 2 be a singaporea sometimes..
fortunately the old man alighted at the same stop as me..
which is just 3 stops away from raffles..
im realli gonna cry now..
i hate this kinda situaton..
where you'll be there..
2 experience it urself..
and tinking how ur existance and action itself..
can realli affect others..
others who are more weak and needed more help..
my mum oso use 2 tell me we must not be greedy..
i noe sometimes i do too..
but i'll try 2 be less greedy now..
hopefully the nxt tym i can see a better ending..
