today, the same old routine. i took the train from expo, scenery is still the same. cabin is the same. but an woman aged around 30 plus enter then train. she is really slim, her skin stick to her bone like there's not even a single layer of fats in between. she stood beside me, we both look out of the window panel of the train's door. she was holding two keychain with broken no chain. she then started a conversation with me.

* all in chinese*
her: "What character is this?" (refer to the keychain)
me smiling: "eh.. i don't know"
her: "then nvm, this one i ask my friend to give me want. i see i got use or not, if not i can give my friend"
me:"oi@@.." (knocking my head smilling)
her: "my legs hurts, i fall down so i wear long pants because got alot 10 20 cents, 50 cents and 1 dollar (she name it all out). if not i wear ku4 qun2. v painful, don't know use what medicine good, then i come that one, no appetize to eat."
me: "oh.. " (knocking my head smilling again)
her: "my pay one mth 200. if can i wan to work till 50 then retired, see how first after 50 dunno what to do, no money then i work till 60"
me: "u see my necklace n braclet they v match right, only 1.90 at bedok. i got another white one, i gotta drop next stop cant stop le."

then she drop off.

for the whole conversation she didnt look at me when she talk to me she jus look outside and her eyes wander around.

then i started thinking. 200 a mth, how can she had proper meals. 3 meals * 30 days * $3 per meal = $270. this is only meals, hse? eletrical bill? i suddenly felt so sad, my heart suddenly got this helpless feeling. there's so many people that need help, how can i help those ppl. how rich must i be to help as many ppl as i can i wander...
