[[i am patient towards old folks]]
i always believe that when pushed to the limit.. most man's senses heighten. They become more self-aware and observe and notice things that they normally would not...
owing to my predicament now, i experience this momentary ESP.
and it is at the same moment, i happened to be watching the Ch8 documentary on
garung gunis. Seeing how the old uncle and auntie have to toil to earn a meagre pay, i felt a wave of emotions rush through me. i can't really tell what is that feeling.. maybe i feel fortunate that i don't have to work that hard.. but i think it's the sight of the old folks that give me that emotional tsunami.
somehow, i always have a soft spot for old people and young kids... that day, i was taking MRT home.. then this old lady came to sit beisde me. All of sudden, she starts talking to me about over-eating and growing fat, not being able to walk.. she repeated that more than 10 times for the entire duration of the train ride. I just sat there, listen to her patiently, nodding or replying in acknowledgement to what she says.. I think she is senile, and after some time, i realise she was refering to the fat man sitting in front of us.. Fortunately, he was a malay and he didnt understand what she's saying...
i noticed i am very patient with old folks.. i just feel that they are very gentle and sometimes even though they talk non-stop and dont seem to make any sense, i will listen to them talk. I feel that they hv accumilated a wealth of experience for as long as they lived. Never mind that, it may not be something that we can learn from, but they want to share something with us..
hmmmm.. i'm a very strange person.. i never treat 2 person the same way.. maybe similar, but never the same... i feel that everyone is unique, and i should treat everyone differently... Though i will treat every asshole as an asshole.. those people whom i dislike know very well who they are... and no point rebuking.. i have supporters of my opnion anyway..
jialat.. i also dunno what i'm saying now.. hmmm,,, jsut have alot of thoughts in me now....
haizz.. i have not jogged.. ippt on sat.. and so stressed about the letters...
