Here’s the scoop…. live from the mrt *ok not exactly live anymore*
Young lady seats in the train since Boon Lay station. Train pulls into Jurong East Interchange and a old lady and old man boarded it. Train was packed. Young lady caught a glimpse of the old lady and packed her bag, wanting to offer her seat. Middle Lady stands in front of her, thus blocking her. Young lady thus got up and said “Excuse me” Middle Lady obliges and moves to take the seat.
Before she could seat down, Young Lady said “I am giving this seat to an old lady.” Middle Lady face turned sour *or rather not that happy upon hearing it* . Young lady ignored her reaction and called to the old lady. Old lady was grateful for the seat. Middle Lady then kept quiet after witnessing wat Young Lady did.
It turned out that the Old Lady is going to Bedok. She felt bad that Young Lady had to stand for a long way. Imagine her standing from Jurong East to Bedok~. Her legs will ache… Middle Lady stomped out of the train at City Hall Interchange.
Cannot believe people are so greedy for seat. I agree… After a hard day at work or school, one deserves a seat especially if its a long journey home… but then, there are pple such as pregnant ladies and old folks that deserve the seats more than us. Maybe we can work our way to a more gracious society?
Frankly, my shoulder was aching and feet numb, despite the discomfort, i felt happy that i could do smth for the old lady.
btw, the young lady is me ^^. Just wanna narrate the happenings as a report… lolx..
haha…
