if you get there before i do, dont give up on me.
on my way to school, sth interesting happened today.
feeling sleepy, i took a nap standing during the journey.
half way through my sleep, an OLD man shook me up and
he GAVE UP his seat for me.
he looked so CUTE in his sports shorts, listening to music, tgt with tt long umbrella of his.
and every morning, he's one of those familir faces i see on the bus.
but today, it was different.
why? cause it was so EMBARRASSING and humiliating
yet TOUCHING.
that old uncle went in chinese:
"girl, sit sit. take a sit"
and he stood up, pointing to his seat.
the bus was PACKED with passengers and everyone heard his loud voice.
they were ALL staring at ME.
i was Surprised by his gestures at first, but he just kept insisting tt i sat down.
so Embarrassing man!
i meann, OF COURSE i DO APPRACIATE his kind intentions,
but since when was it the case when the Elderly made way for ppl like me??!
so, This was our conversation in chinese
ME: (still half shocked and awake, ignoring All the other ppls' stares) uncle, dont you want to sit?
UNCLE: nahh, i'm alighting soon, you go ahead and sit, have a good rest
he was so SWEET and CUTE.
i wanted to SMILE at him to express my gratitude
but everyone was staring at US, i practically felt all the muscles in my body tensing up.
and everyone in the bus must be wondering
WHY of all ppl, he gave tt sit up for me and not any other elderly insight, of simply any strangers out there
it beats me, i Would like to know the reason too.
maybee i really did looked Very Tired.
haha.
so Anyhoww, that little incident woke my senses
and i lost my sleep for the rest of the journey.
the moment the old man alighted,
i stood and gave my seat up for this other old lady.
and AGAIN, those same ppl were Staring,
they must have been wondering wats my problem man. Stand, Sit, Stand, Sit.
but i wld have felt so guilty if i continued sitting anyway.
today's one Memoral day Haha.
for a moment,
i felt really loved and cared for by that old man,
who was actually,
a stranger.
today, i am challenged by an old man.
to spread agape love,
to those whom i love and also to those who love me.
not forgetting,
the mobless mass of strangers out there too
for al you know, someone's heart will be touched unexpectedly,
just like how i was impacted this morning.
JESUS, You're so Beautiful. i want to be more like you.
