Seeking Solace

Big walk

I feel:

Yesterday was the longest day in my life ever since I am out of SJAB. My day started early at 5am in the morning and ended at 11pm at night. Th Big walk was fun, but the distance was kind of too short. There could have been more costume walkers, but I only caught sight of one. The weather could be one of the deterring factor I guess. It is so hot recently.

The sweltering sun and the piercing rays is enough to fry me alive. I looked like a crab despite my cap. But I was so lucky to be only 20% cooked. After which I headed to the hospital. Spent about 5 hours there. But futile trip,

I am still as helpless.

After which, I took 188 down Xinni's place to visit and help around with my ah ma. The Holland Village house is sold off.

I would very much like to post the picture of it but I still cannot figure out how to upload the pics from my digi. We went to the "zi cha" for dinner and had to wait a full one and the half hour before the food arrive. And we finished the food in half an hour time. Just as we were chatting, I heard a loud commotion behind my seat. There were shattering of glassess as 2 men started to shout and fight.

Then the tall one threw the chair at the short man. And there were some aunties screaming in fear. I was scared stiff. I jumped out of my seat and ran far away. That was when I realised my ah ma still sitting there. *slaps forehead* In all my anxiety, I forgot her. I wanted to rush back but mu mum kept shouting for me to stand further away. Then my uncles went to get her. And my ah ma was still laughing! She saw the cowardy expression on my mother's face and couldn't stop laughing! Nobody knew what happened as my uncles paid while we took leave. Just when we were speculating what had happened, my ah ma exclaimed:"Aiyah, you all don't know? The tall man accuse the short man's wife of stealing his money. He wanted to hit the wife of the shortie and the shortie was protecting his wife and they fought!" To think we were worrying for ah ma's safety while she sat there and listened to what that happened! I asked her if she felt afraid and if she needs tonic to replenish her energy and she couldn't stop laughing again. Tsk..tsk.. my ah ma!

It's strange how people lose their EQ just because of a small affair. Fight, hurt, abuse...

spoiling the peace of others. If we bear with it a little, if we are a bit more true to others, wouldnt it be the best for everyone? Is that hard to accomplish? As always, I end my entry with more questions for the world...
