I wanted to help

Every time when i work OT, i will see someone in wheelchair. If i work until 630pm, i will see the old man near my workplace and whenever i see him crossing the traffic lights, i will push him to another traffic light cos he is using manual wheelchair which he has to use his hands and push.

The 1st time i saw him is when i was waiting for bus below the office building. I was in dilemma when i saw him coming. I keep thinking should i push him anot. Will people laugh at me when i help him? But i know i will regret if i don't help him and thus i hack care what others might say. I forgo my bus to the mrt station and push him to another traffic light.

Another guy, which i thought was a girl initially, will always be seen in Hougang mrt bus stop. I can only see him if i work until 8pm and by the time i went back, the crowd is not that much and its easier for him to go up the bus too.

1st time i saw him i was surprising and felt pity for him. He looks young and cute and white. Looks like a girl cos i only realise that he is a guy at the 2nd time. 2nd time was last few days and this time, i was lost.

Usually the bus driver will let him board the bus 1st but this time, the uncle didn't help him board. So i thought he is not taking the same bus this time. When most of the people board the bus already, the uncle then help him board. I was standing at the place which he was suppose to park his wheelchair and many of us have to move to let him come in. Of cos we should move.

Problem is when he has settle down in his lot, he is facing my side view. That day i remember i was wearing skirt and i felt sorry cos i don't know if he is looking at my legs. I try to use the plastic bag cover my legs cos i don't want him to feel inferior. That moment i really want to cry cos... i cant describe why i wanted to cry.

Maybe i felt useless not being able to help him anything but its a good thing that he is using auto wheelchair. I always wanted to buy a auto wheelchair for the old man near my workplace but till now, no action from me.

I hope the wheelchair is not that expensive and now I'm looking for disable community to join so that i can help out the old man.

I hope i am not NATO about this anymore.

都是Viber惹的祸

One should always cherish friendship. Don't lose the friendship because of some silly app or silly people. Relationship is fragile and needs careful handle.  Friends that we don't see often have conflict and misunderstanding when one is under pressure from family, work and environment.  People say communication is important and is really important in this realms. 1 word or a sentence and be misunderstood for people assuming that everyone has the same thinking as them.

My 2 babies

My babies are growing up fast..grant is getting taller than me with the teenage stage in transition, there are times when I questions myself am I a bad mother? Why does he hates me? What have I done wrong? Why are you treating me this way?  I know its part of this puberty and having to balance the hormones and minds are what most of the adults are coping. What's more a teenager. I just want him to be safe and sound and healthy.  Grace is going into primary 2 next year and so far she is still taking it well. I hope she met good teacher all the way and study hard.
