its been long since my last post... actually had stuff to say but was too busy playing www.kingdomofloathing.com. GO THERE NOW. :)
this is a post on how cute old people are :) :) :)
a few days ago.. after i finished playing kingdom of loathing i was walking back home for dinner. then as i was near the blandford drive road, this old lady did the nicest thing to me :)
i was tired that day so i felt quite xian. then this super cute indian old lady was walking towards me. so we were walking opposite directions. she was skinny and wearing baggy clothes. at first i didnt notice her, then she smiled sweetly at me. realising how cute she was, i smiled back at her... sweetly. then i just continued walking. then she stopped me and out of her baggy pants pocket, she took out a small bar of time out chocolate!!!!!! i love time out. :) then she said:"here, chocolate for you girl." i was soooo happy. i totally forgot the concept that chinese teachers and parents always teach : Never accept anything from strangers. haha. i guess she was not that much of a stranger after exchanging smiles :) if i could, i would like to meet her again... talk to her and tell her how much her little chocolate made my day. or maybe week :) thank you lady.
and recently, maybe yesterday, i cant remember, i had CIP in some elderly organisation, which organises activities for the old folks to occupy their time. i think i saw an albino old lady!! maybe 2. but one of them was one of the cutest old ladies i had seen in my entire life. she looked happy. i suspect stef will look like that when she grows old. always smiling. and stef said: when i dont smile, it hurts.
Now THAT makes sense.
ANYWAY. my group had many old ladies and one old man. he is so cute! it was time for the sanwich making game... where you make ... sandwiches... and he was old and so his fingers were stiff and stuff. haha. that sounds weird.
anyway, he tried to put on the disposable glove but he couldnt, cos his fingers were stiff. he had already put his hand in, but his fingers just wouldnt go in the slots. i felt so bad.. so i tried to help him. but the gloves were slippery and so it was hard to fit it in. i was also scared he would feel weird that a GIRL had to help him. ya know the male's ego is huge. so i tried to help him, but not too much - if you know what i mean.
it just didnt fit, so he just used the palm part of the glove to work with the sandwiches. at that time, i just felt like crying. i was really sad that he had to be in such a state. i was also sad that he said:" wo3 de4 shou3 yi3 jing1 ying4 le4. mei2 guan1 xi1." which when translated means:"my hands have stiffened already. its alright.." i felt like crying cos it just seemed like he couldnt be bothered because such things happened a lot. also, he was in a sorry state... i thought... maybe i would end up like him.. someday...
and i was filled with pity.
i dont know why no one else seemed to be affected by this but i kept looking down. in case some people saw. then they would comfort me.. then i will really cry.
so yeah. i really treasured the short time i had with them. i really was reluctant to leave. :( anyway. All good things must come to an end. so thats it. the one good thing ended.
sad. thinking about it still makes me want to cry. i dont know why i must be do emotional at times, and so heartless at times. thats me. the schizophrenic jamie..
