Happy New Year
woohoo!new year is coming!but why do i feel confused in a way and somehow a little sad?is it just because of the three people i met yesterday?
on my way onto the 961 bus, i saw an old man sitting on the elderly seat.i smiled at him and he smiled at me back.he told me to sit on something between the opposite elderly set and the seats behind the driver.it was something popping out, like a case with the wheel inside.then i sat there. it was quite easy for kids like me to squeeze in there. and so i made a new 'friend'. heasked me where was i going, and i said i was going to woodlands.he told me he was getting down at the marsiling statin.he said that the sun was very ferocious and bright. and he obviously did some hard labour as u could see his rough and wrinkled hand. his skin was so dark that he looked like a person in a dark room. he also told me to study hard. he did not study hard and thats why he was doing these jobs. i promised him to study hard. to 'repay' him.
so the other one i met was at the bus interchange.i looked at him at first and stopped beside him.i asked him whether i saw him before as he seems familiar to me.he says why not?he is there selling tissue everyday.and he gave me my words of wisdom.he says that u must study hard, so that u would not become an uncle selling tissue. he also said to remember him telling me to study hard. i can feel that he regrets now but he is trying to pass the message to others so that we would not be like him. he also insisted on taking his tissue paper.i rejected immediately and politely. this kind of selflessness is very difficult to find in people nowadays.
aafter that, i saw my kindergarden teacher.she still recognises me as i visited her not long ago and i was also one of her elite students.she told me to sit at the back. she asked me how was my school and all that stuff.i was quite suprised to see her, but this suddenly reminded me of the schools motto, i think. YIN SHUI SI YUAN.it means to thank ur ancestors or the people who helped u after u are successful.i will always remember mdm goh, my kindergaredn teacher.
thank u ppl, for making my day before today so meaningful and interesting!
