anyways, I promised to dedicate this entry to an ah mah I met at the bus-stop yesterday;
The ah mah was waiting for bus 130 but then due to her poor eyesight, she missed it...
She asked me if that bus that just passed was 130 and I replied yeah. Then she was lamenting how long she wait for that bus already...Initially there was another auntie waiting for a bus beside her, but then her bus came, so it was just me and ah mah. Ah mah asked me for the time and because of my poor knowledge in dialect especially regarding numbers, she had to guess what I was trying to say. It was 5:30 pm; but I signalled 5 and 3 meaning to say 5, 30..but she ended up thinking it was 5:15, as in minute hand pointing to 3...haiz. In a moment of desperation, I just replied anh.diuo.sheesh.

Afterwhich, each bus that came, she asked me if it was 130, and sadly, no, it wasn't...she counted FOUR 74s though.haahs. and a few more other transisland buses. What must be most unfortunate is my bus coming after that. Bus 163 takes a long time to come, and thus, I was really really torn. Oh nos, should I stay to help ah mah, then catch the next bus? or should I just get on the bus, it does take a long time to come and it is late already...AND what is worst is that, with that bus, the many people at the bus-stop all left leaving poor old ah mah to fend for herself. I felt damn bad leaving her there. Only after getting on the bus did I really think I should have done so; stayed and helped her. Who cared if I got home late, it is only right to help someone in need.

I guess my morals mustn't be too strong and that a part of me just wished to escape, knowing my weak grasp of dialect will just cause more awkwardness between us...But I really did not think that way at any point...I guess it must be embedded in my sub-consciousness, that I walked away from someone in need. AND she was such a cute old ah mah...haiz~ or maybe it is just excuses I'm making up for myself...to make myself feel better. No, I do not deserve to feel better because I did leave an old woman behind to board bus 130 with her poor eyesight. How can I be relieved of the guilt? haiz~~~

alright. I guess I mustn't be feeling very bad anymore since it was so cold this morning; all I could think of was if I would die frozen on the bus. AND, I could sleep last night and I even made a pair of earrings...And I could even nap at the bench this morning.gahh. what is wrong with me? I guess I'm just not the kind-hearted soul I've always envisioned myself as...>.<>.<*** so I posted a new pair of earrings up and I think they're quite the shu nu sort...BUT nevertheless, very very pretty! ((: go see and tell me what you all think okay? here's the link again: http://syannn.livejournal.com yups and recommend your friends alright?
