Are you worth more than you think you are?







Definitely.

Days ago I was just thinking about how unimportant i am.
Like how whether I exist or not don't matter to anyone...
Then.....BHAM!!!!!

Last night I was alone at Esplanade catching the nightly fireworks. Thereafter I was sitting by the atrium of Esplanade (where there are ponds with floating artefacts). This uncle came up to me and asked me the direction to Marina Mandarin Hotel. I pointed at where its supposed to be and he walked towards that direction. Everything was well until I saw this couple in front of me pointing at something behind me. I turn around and there the uncle was with his right leg inside the pond. Apparently he fell . Anyway it wasn't a very good description of what reali happened but anyway it made me realise that I had to be there at the moment to help him.

Ok wad happened this morning was scary. Yes, even more than that of a sight of a fallen old man. I was on my way to work at the MRT stn. I was earlier than usual so I decide to forgo the earlier train and smoke and catch the 10 am train I normally catch. At the platform I waited as usual and the train arrived on time. As the rush hour crowd pushed their bodies into the carriage with all their might, I stood back and waited for a while since the train was actually pretty empty. Then this lady who was beside me turned around suddenly and headed for the other door at the other cabin. She was, oh my god, staggering left and right and she actually slipped and had her right leg dangling at the space between the train and the carriage( the part where the 2 cabins are conjoined thus the space is larger). I looked around and there was nobody in sight. So I quickly pulled the lady back onto the platform. Cold sweat and her right shoe on the tracks. I was thinking to myself: Hey! I was at the right place at the right time to help her like last night for the uncle. For the girl esp. God knows wad will happen if I decided to not smoke and caught the earlier train for then there will be absolutely no one there to help her out.

So last night and today I found some use of myself.
You will too...
