elder story

i knw i wudn have to blog until a mnth.. but this is exceptional. i can't just bear to let this go past w/o noting.. at least it can remain here as part of a memory.. :)

one morn i was walking frm hme on my way to the bus stop when i stopped by a passenger walkway. the light was still red and out of nowhere, an old lady clutchering on a walking stick passed and walked out steadily to the ongoing road. i quickly rushed to help.

she looked at me worriedly, staggering and unbalanced, panting as if she's lacked of air, trying her best as fast to get to the other side of the road.

looking on both roadways, i assumed its still safe to get her across. 'its ok.. slowly.. i'll bring u across'. she immediately felt thankful and reached for my face to swift a feel (she cud be in her late 80s). as we crossed, a couple of cars stopped to let us pass.

i tried to reassure her, 'look at the lights over there.. if its green then u can only pass.' she then murmured, 'i dunno.. im from sydney.' i asked her where she is heading to and she told me she was getting to the mall. i insisted more help so she took my hand and i let her to her place.

after all.. without any verbal motive, she hesitated as if deeply mesmerised.. she took my hand and gave a deep kiss, then ushering the 2 and only words 'thank you..'

i was wondering how on earth she cud have been alone. seriously unstable and deeply in need of help, i cud only ask her to tk.. but being in it is really a blessing.. u feel tat spirit esp when she expressed her love, whilst being helpless, and the feeling of being so thankful for smeone who cud help her when she needs it badly.

then.. :D as i left her, i glanced at 3 buses: 428, 427 followed by 433 consecutively passing by my one and only soul and i was like.. 'in this world anything can happen.. three damn buses!! arrgghhh..' i never see three buses.. but guess wat.. all is worth it ;)

haha.. yup an elderly story. empathy. i was looking at sme blogs and knwing sme ppl. i cud have guessed the nature of tat person. either feeling sympathetic and deep, love-orienting similar to signs of being a cancer just like me. sme are like ahn qi, yil or maybe crys. chatting with qi makes me realise how a person can be like and the type of personality tat suits you. anyways, a fact arises. where are all the guy bloggers in the world? are they dead?!! oh man.. oh btw.. selamat hari raya to those who's celebrating.. have a good day and then get back to work!
