Some people would lament that Singaporeans are not kind. That whenever they can,they would clog up the entrances of trains and buses, sit on reserve seats and generally make a nuisance of themselves,turning a long journey into an unbearable one.
Yes I have sat on reserve seats, and ok maybe sometimes I am a slight nuisance? Haha. But in every story there is a hero. So let me tell you what happened.
I was taking the train with Qiurui to school in the morning. Qiurui has got a very very bad cough and refuses to see a doctor! Therefore her voice has became very sexy(for some reason she's actually happy about it?).
Anyway we were on the train, and it was an average crowd. As we talked,Qiurui coughed repeatly. As we could'nt drink water, I asked her to slow down on what she was saying. All this time, a gentleman was staring at us. Qiurui turned around and stared right back at him. We were wondering what his problem was.
Then, he gave a small smile and took out a tissue packet,gesturing to Qiurui to take it. A random stranger doing a random act of kindness to a random person he randomly met.
We were touched. I do not know the guy's name, neither do I think he'll read this anyway, but I think I should acknowledge and thank him for proving that Singaporeans are kind-hearted by nature.
It is with this experience in mind that I can say this: Singaporeans are nice people. It just needs water,sunlight and loads of love,encouragement and cash rebates haha:)
