~WeLcoMe To My LIfE~

I was on my way home when a man approached me. I didn’t see him coming but just heard him said ‘excuse me’, in front of the LGI. I was in a hurry, but he apologised for stopping me. Said it was embarrassing for him, but it’s just that I looked approachable. Then he explained that he had an interview at Leeds Metropolitan Uni, but somebody stole his car, and he just came out from the police station. The thing is, he doesn’t has money to pay for his train ticket. He got his mobile with him, but no money. typical story, I’ve met a few people like this before. So, I just told him that I don’t have any cash with me, which was of course a lie, since I just took out some money from the bank this morning. Usually, I didn’t really bothered, but somehow, I think, I saw the look in his eyes, and he seems hurt. I don’t know, maybe it’s just me. I walked home thinking, what if that happens to me. I mean, like last weekend, I went to sheffield, but I left my phone at home. The only number that I can remember was my own, so I tried calling myself, dgn harapan farid akan angkat talipon, eventhough I know the chance is almost zero. Tapi tak pe laa since I know sheffield quite well, so kira takde laa stranded kat train station ke apa. (since the one person that’s supposed to pick me up, didn’t turn up lah kan, huhhh :p)

The two situation mmg laa different, cumanya terbayangkan, macam mana kalau diri sendri kena rompak kat mana2 ntah, takde duit and tak tau tepon sape2 macam mana agaknya ye? Nauzubillah. and nak mintak orang lalu lalang? nak mintak pakcik polis hantakan? memanglaa kat sini tak patut percaya strangers pun, since I was tricked once, masa kat paris, with this chinese couple. And there are all sorts of bad people out there yang kerjanya memang nak menyusahkan orang lain. Tak kisah laa kat UK ni ke..atau kat mesia pon. mmg laa ada je orang jahat,kan.

It’s just that I’ve been thinking, macam mana if that person is really in need? Do you trust your instincts? or follow your brain? I suppose we’ll know laa kot kalau orang tu btul2 need our help. but then again, there’s still a chance that that person is lying, kan? tapi, kalau letak diri sendri kat situ, mesti rasa sgt2 hopeless dan marah kat sumer org yang tak nak tolong, btul tak? Come to think of it, that guy yg asked for my help could be lying sbb even if he lost his car, takkan dia tak bawak wallet masa dia pegi interview, kan? I mean, kalau dia ada hphone, mesti dia ada wallet, right? unless dia ada wallet tp takde duit. tp bleh pegi cash machine, kan? ke dia tak de kad bank?? tak logik laa pulak, ke?? tapi, macam btul je, since dia tak mention pun baper byk duit dia nak. he sort of explained that he doesn’t have money for the train, and look at me with that ‘u are not going to help me, do you?’ look, and left before I even finished talking. He didn’t try to convince me or anything. I just feel bad lah. *sigh*

thehealthinspector: help yourself before you help others. True.. or not??
