Humans are complicated

so full after the roast beef wrap from Salad Stop... feeling queasy now :S

But it's a healthy lunch nonetheless. without the oil and lard and starch that i had been having for the past few days (char kway teow, yee mee etc).. Work has been hectic and stressful, especially these three days as my manager is on leave. Wish i can be on long leave this period of time! Travelling can be quite a pain when u take a train to Marina Bay in hope for a seat and all you get is a reserved seat...

Speaking of which, I encountered an extra-helpful young lady yesterday who asked another young lady sitting at a reserved seat to stand up so the auntie standing in front of her could sit down. I took a look at the auntie, she wasn't that old to start with, she merely looked a bit washed out. The seated young lady stood up graciously, and gave a curt reply to the extra-helpful lady saying "I am not feeling well, feeling nauseous, but it's ok".

There are different schools of thought for this, none are wrong I'm sure. A few thoughts came to mind as I witnessed the whole incident:

I agree that sitting at reserved seats is a damn stressful thing to do. I can't close my eyes for a nap coz people may think I am just acting asleep, and i have to be on a constant lookout for preggies and oldies. I don't give a hoot to aunties who have black hair with an angry you-owe-me face or obese people who are obstructing the way. If i were to give up my seat, it's just strictly preggies and oldies. If i am not sitting on a reserved seat, I will just not give a hoot to anyone. I usually don't sleep trains. I just stone myself away.

Unless one damn pregnant lady sticks her big tummy under my nose, then I'll probably take notice amidst my trance.

And another thing is, never assume that people who look healthy ARE healthy. I myself will rather not sit on a reserved seat and choose to stand, unless i feel sick. Like that young lady seated on the reserved seat, she was nauseous but the extra-helpful young lady assumed she was young and hence healthy.

Sigh, humans are just damn complicated. Thats why i choose to mind my own business. At times i will slip into an insecurity maze and start to wonder if everyone thinks that I'm a lousy asshole. In fact, I have just sort of recovered from it. I hope I will never get lost in it again. My hubby loves me, my girl loves me, so I can't be that bad!
