Okay. First and foremost..
I fully intend to make this a quickie before mom bites my already small head off.

It's late, you see?
*smacks you.

Dad praised me today.
Getting a praise from dad is almost as bad as waiting to see pigs fly. (Before AirPork and Redbull giving 'wings', of course.)

Moving on.

I boarded the overpopulated train. Again. After work.
I never stopped feeling amazed at how good we are squeezing into the compartments to a point where we can be compared to the ole' tin sardines.

Impressive.
(Im rolling my eyes if you can't catch my sarcasm.)

I was minding my own business til I saw this obviously pregnat lady. She looked super uncomfortable, I tell you.

I looked around for any available seats, of course there weren't.

Perfectly happy young untroubled people were sitting down. Thing is, it irks me to no end to see selfish people sit on those reserved seats.

I'm not being self righteous here. I admit, I tend to sit there as well and sometimes overlook things.

But!
I don't do it when I can obviously see someone who needs a seat when they need it.

I turned to the nearest man sitting on the reserved seat.
Apparently he was very engrossed in his solitaire game.

I guess it exhausted him.

.. Whatever.

So I got his attention with waving my hand aroun his phone since my voice couldn't get to him.

I did the nice approach, and asked him politely to give up his seat to the poor lady.

Bless his poor soul.

He quickly got up and disappeared to don't know where and I directed the lady to the seat.

I'm no self righteous savior. I don't do this often. I only help those who really need it.

I'm imperfect, just as you are, no matter how hard you delude yourself to be.

Daddy said that many Singaporeans have forgotten our dear Courtesy Lion.

All it takes is one kind act.

Don't expect thank yous.
Do it cos you want to.

If you do something good and live to regret it; Dont waste your efforts.

People might dislike your kind actions but don't take it to heart.
Just do it, cos you know it's right. Even when it is a difficult choice.

End.
