I went Paya Lebar today,

On my way back on the train,

I saw this old man,

with a head of white hair, and a pair of legs that barely support his body balance.

He was holding onto the pole, and was trembling, trying to maintain his balance with his thin and fragile looking legs.

The train was crowded.

Seats are all taken.

But no one,

NO ONE,

Gave up their seats for him.

I was behind him.

I looked around for young and able people,

To kindly ask them to give up his/her seat for him.

Saw some,

including a CHINA guy, in his early 20s, playing PSP with his ear piece stuffed in his ear,

a young malay couple, in early 20s too, play PSP,

none of them bother to look up around them.

Anyway,

I HAVE NO GUTS.

I was struggling with myself.

Should I turn a blind eye and ignore him, and assume that people will let him sit,

Or

Should I make things happen by taking initiatives to ask people to LET him sit.

I was frustrated with myself,

For being helpless, and timid.

I was in my Number 3 uniform, with my OCT rank.

I dont wish to create a scene and get more attention that I am already having.

Anyway, after quite a few stations, some aunty in her 40s, gave up her seat for him.

From my impression, I dont think that aunty was a Singaporean.

I am really angry with myself.

Useless, helpless and timid.


Why do Singapore need an Army?

Why do we need to protect those ass who don't even give a damn about others?

People might say that, "Not all singaporean are bad ma?"

Not all, thats correct, but there's some.

But this world isn't fair. Sorry for those good citizens.



You can be an all-time good guy.

But if you just do something wrong, just one bad thing,

Your "good-guy" reputation will be gone.

All the good things you did in the past are all erased just like a hit on the DELETE button on the keyboard.

This world isn't fair. I bet all of you have realised it.




Seriously, I hate public transport.

Hope that I can do well in the exams, and get commissioned.

And buy my favourite Honda Crossroad.

Just me, my radio and my car on my journey.
