I was on my way to meet my jc mates when I came across this incident. You know that there's reserved seats for the elderly, handicapped etc on the trains and usually these seats would be taken up by people who do not belong in these catergories. I must really applaud this old man for standing up for his rights. (He should be in his 70s)
When he entered the train at hougang, he realised that there're no seats available for him. He waited for a while, however no one sitting on the reserved seats gave up their seats for him. Therefore, he walked up to the reserved seat nearest to him, woke the dozing man and demanded that the man give up his seat to him. I'm sure the youngster got quite a shock when he was awakened by the old man and with everyone staring at him, he had no choice but to quickly vacate his seat. So kudos to the old man for doing that and hope that anyone reading would give up their seats(be it on trains or bus) to those in need. Thank you

A Realisation
This post is in relation to the discovery I've made on this one person.
Well, it started out as something I did to pacify someone. But somehow, I made a startling realisation.
I never knew you felt that way about the things in life and the many many restrictions you face on almost daily basis. I somehow managed to understand you more and I feel somewhat guilty about the petty views I've made regarding your personality. I will never understand your character and you'll probably never understand mine as we've different views regarding our place in the social spectrum. However, this discovery has allowed me a glimpse into a life that I will not have. I'm happy with what I'm given and glad that I'm molded like that. It's still an insightful view that really leaves lots of food for thought...
P.S. Simin, I've finally updated k. I'll try to update more often. Did I mention that I simply adore my juniors.
