So today,I went out of my house to take the bus to the Woodlands Regional Interchange as usual.
Surprisingly,as soon as I reached the interchange at the 962,911,912 area.I take the 962 bus.

There was this malay uncle sleeping on the bench that I would usually seat on,while waiting for the bus.
He is surrounded with bags of plastics and cardboards,and I guess he is homeless.

This uncle was like mentally disabled i think,as his eyes were like narrowed to the center.

Then he suddenly woke up and mumbled something,and I heard some giggles from two students who were obviously making a fool out of this uncle and snapping some shots from this particular school,I shan’t mention which.

I gave them a stern look,as I find it kinda rude of them,and they stopped giggling immediately.
This uncle then walked into a “mamma shop”[grocery shop],and took a malay BeritaHarian newspaper and was like swinging the papers around .

Luckily,the owner of the shop was kind enough and didn’t scold him,but instead told him to cool down,and gave him a currypuff and a barley bottle drink plus the newspaper for FREE.

I was kinda relieved as at least he had something to eat for breakfast.Then what about lunch?
I took out my purse and realised that I had a full $10 note.So I decided to get myself a drink from the shop and received some small changes.

Something moved my heart.I watched with my own eyes how fast that uncle ate his currypuff and drank his drink.With much courage,I approached the uncle slowly and gave him a $2 note.The uncle grabbed it and kissed the note and immediately kept it in his purse that’s full with zips.

Well,that’s what I could afford for a student.If I were rich,I would definitely donate more.Well,its sincerity that matters doesn’t it? And im left with $6+.

I wouldn’t mind if I don’t have money to eat during recess,as I could still eat at home,cooked by my mum.A warm filling dish.But what about this poor uncle?That currypuff might only be his only meal for the day.So yeah.

Catch my part 2 of this story! (sounds like a movie)(actually not!)
