on new year eve, when everyone was busy sticking to their family having a last min shopping in chinatown, i saw him. he lied on the bench with news paper being his blanket. he caught my attention, i can't help but to stand and stare for 2 mins. i wondered, where is his family. 60-65 years old might be his average age, doesn't he have any children/family? i guess mum knows what i'm thinking. she told me "some people are like that, they have affairs/gamble alot when they're young. so when they're old, their children won't want them". i continue to look at him silently, how will his children(if he does have any) react when they saw him lying on a bench on a new year eve?
somehow, this stirred my heart again for people that are poor/abandoned. i don't think they deserve this. people need to be forgive, people aren't perfect. even as an outsider, i felt something, i know as their family members, they'll feel even more. i can't do anything at this age, but i want to do something when i can. i wan, i will.
