I am going to sound like a spoilt brat complaining about the woman who didn't give up her seat to me and the woman behind her who pretended to look out of the window and the woman behind who .. urg
but I would think that this complaint is legitimate right, now that I have only one usable leg.

I am deeply disillusioned about humanity la I used to naively assume that everyone's core is sweet and kind even when they act like the most self centred people in the universe.
I thought that when they have a chance to be kind they will be, but I thought wrong.
Selfish people are selfish inside and out, the core is full of "me"s and they care more about resting their feet for a ten minute ride more than about a disabled girl who might fall during the mere ten minute ride and I don't know, fracture another leg.

I just hope that for the woman who ignored my disabled presence doesn't experience the same thing cus it is horrible.



The nurses and I were crowding around this woman and we were wondering aloud why she wasn't giving up the seat to this disabled person:

Geraldine said this in the woman's direction: Maybe the bus driver will give up the seat to qianwen.

haha it was quite funny.

Actually hor, there's no rule that says that people have to give up seats to fellow human beings who might be pregnant, balancing on one foot or who are old and frail.
It is a moral thing and if this person can look out of the window and the conscience can allow it there is nothing anyone can do.
Everyone paid the same fare and deserve equal chances of taking the seat.
It is a matter of first come first serve.
It is extremely sad that people can allow themselves to think like that and be comfortable about remaining in that seat that means so much more to someone else.

It is not about me not being able to take a seat la because I am a very strong/fit/otherwise-healthy nurse who hops very well and my troop of TH nurses support me when the ride is bumpy.
Yuting said that they didn't give up the seat because I didn't look pathetic enough.

I really don't understand why I must look pathetic, I admit I look quite gleeful and machiam I enjoy hopping a lot la, but I am on crutches leh.
Happy disabled people don't deserve seats meh?

Must I cry and look pitiful or do I have to fall before people feel guilty enough to exhibit minimum kindness?
Isn't it too late by then..?
Why must we wait until fellow human beings break down before we show kindness or concern?
I don't understand!

I believe that there are a lot of people who don't speak about their problems and hide behind a facade and it is the same thing..
Making kindness an everyday thing is good la cus you don't know if your concern and smiley face will make a person feel better.

There's really no need to wait until you know about the problem before showing kindness because it might be too late when you know about it lor.
and there's really no need to hog onto that seat dammit.

Why (some) NUS people like that one.?

[but then again hor, I am judging the woman cus who knows, maybe she is sicker than I am disabled behind the rosy cheeks. And also the 15 people who pretended not to see me, maybe they are depressed or they are a bit blind or they have anemia.. I should stop being sacarstic]

I really do appreciate my friends who are so freakinggg nice.
