a good deed

haha, i spent most of my time outside today! had cambridge test in the afternoon and there goes my 30 pounds! well, the TSA questions was really hard and the essay that i did was about the exciting areas for the future developments of chemistry and physics. and it's reallY exciting! when i stoned for like 10min cos i dun really have any idea of what to write? but in the end after gaining composure, i still managed to write 2 pages.. haha! the 2nd qns was about nanotech and the 3rd asked us to discuss 3 types of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics. ahaha~ think the qns are really cute!
then there's this cute qns for engineering, which goes: why do bicycles have gears? haha...

ok, then met mj and peishan to crap! actually it's me crapping and them lafing haha! but still fuN! and we had dinner at long john silver, or rather it's me and esmond having dinner onli cos both of them had dinner b4 my arrival!

then when i was about to go home, i saw this blind lady who was struggling with her baggage and stool and walking stick, standing in the middle of the busy crowd asking for help. then i turned back and went to her rescue =). she wanted to take a cab home and was asking for directions. well, i helped her and in the end got mj and ps to help me too as it's quite hard to flag for a cab when i'm carrying her heavy luggage. what i feel disturbed most is the reactions that many s'poreans have to the handicapped. no1 stopped for a moment to help this poor old lady. no, i'm not trying to boast about myself but feel that singapore still has a long way to go indeed in becoming a gracious society. definitely, there are an increasing no. of s'poreans giving up seats to the elderly whether on trains or in buses but i believe there's still room for improvement. such an unfortunate incident that i witnessed today has shown us many things about we s'poreans still lack in... even in the service industry, i feel that it cannot be compared to those in japan, hong kong, europe and other developed countries after travelling to those countries except for hong kong =). haha~ since japan can do it, why cant we? their services are always so impeccably good, the koreans always says thank you profusely and will give one a warm smile even if we do not purchase anything from them. that's wat i call service!

true enough, we still have a long way to go to become a gracious country, a really long 1 indeed...
