Today i shall dedicate this post to Anson.
It was pouring heavily in the afternoon at orchard where i was heading home to catch some sleep. Obviously the rain delayed me and i was pretty irritable. A fairly old lady, maybe in her 50s was asking bus drivers for directions. Then she stood in front of me where i sat at the bus stop. I stood up, thinking she needed a seat as she appeared to have a bad leg. Then she asked if I could shelter her with my umbrella across the road (jaywalk). I was not amused. I asked her to take the underpass over as it was safer. She kept saying no. Then i just sat down again. Then this young lad. Maybe about my age was trying to help her. She was even demanding that we give her some money so she could take a taxi back to Johor Bahru. Pretty scam-ish, i thought to myself. Anyhow, he provided an alternate route, which was to bring her to the MRT for her to take to Woodlands and a bus thereafter. Anson, who i presume is working at Tangs Orchard, (the bus stop was just outside Tangs), even asked the lady to wait while he ran back and got an umbrella. As my bus drove off, he came back with an umbrella to shelter her. How kind, i thought. I'm very impressed.
