weekends tend to zoom past so quickly... it's monday again.... but at least this year... only 3 days per week are really really packed.... so i'm not feeling too bad... dinner this evening with parents and bro... was at a coffee shop having our usual XO beehoon and stuff... this boy, probably not much older/younger than myself... was peddling pieces of paper to diners... probably 4d numbers... he seemed pretty desperately... making hand signals that he needed to eat and was on the verge of tears... especially when everybody rejected him... and the kopitiam uncle was chasing him away... at that moment i just felt this strong feeling of sadness... couldnt really enjoy my dinner... and wondered if it was right not to help someone like that... i really dont know... it just made me feel how lucky and unappreciative I am... not just because i had food on my table... but a family... friends, the guy... an education... and there i was, fussing about my birthday party... but the boy was going around begging just to feed himself... is life meant to be so unfair? grandpa isnt feeling very well of late... and i sat by grandma's bed side the night before... was talking to her as she couldnt sleep... it was worrying coz her speech is getting more incomprehensible... but she laughs as i try to make her laugh... and answers my questions correctly most of the time... i think i ought to spend more time at home... it's time to act like an adult... and take up some responsiblity at home... ----Stef stopped rambling at 23:10 --Link to Post |
