selling tissue
today i feel appreciative and yet horrible
was walkin home from work when i saw this old lady, no less than 60
standing outside somerset mrt, selling tissue and also maggie mee, and some other things she had from her plastic bag. i felt so disgusted! but disgusted at myself and the people around. my heart broke into pieces when i saw her. god knows how many hours she had been standing there in the middle of nowhere tryin to selling her belongings just to have a few dollars to eat a square meal. no child should allow their parent to be reduced to such a state. and no human should allow that for another. i felt so digusted at myself. even the ipod i had in my hand was probably 2 months worth of living for that old lady. It suddenly made me realize how precious life is and that i shouldn't take it for granted. coz at any one time i could be just like her. every single dollar counts. and for all the times i've gone out and spent tens and fifities on drinks just to get buzzed it makes me feel so hollow and lousy. my heart goes out to the unfortunate tonight. and i'm going to try and make an effort to make other's lives better. even if its a small step. its still better than my current lifestyle. if anyone is interested in maybe volunteering with me to do something...drop me a line or something...maybe volunteer to play with homeless kids on the weekend or something. at least something to make a difference. i dunno, i'm going to think of something...
