Finally I graduated from my star 2 kayaking course!! Thanks to all who made it possible for the course! Star 3 next?? Anyone wanna join? I need at least 8 people if they wanna create a course. Anyway, it was great even though it ended early.. I wanna go for an expedition too! Oh well maybe after the exams..
Its been a while since i hanged out with my phat secondary school cum JC friends.. And today we had a quick bite (dinner) at east coast after my kayaking.. Waited from 6 until like almost 1900hrs for them! While waiting, i dozed off at one of the break waters enjoying the breeze and sounds of waves breaking against the shore.. It was actually nice to be alone for that instance and because of that, i wasnt angry with them for being late.. Haha.. Food was great! And P you still owe that special something you promised me on my dimples... So sad ah..
Ok well on my way back i saw this indian fella lying unconscious or drunk or dead at the pavement grass patch and a few people who walked past that man just ponder over him and walked away.. WTH!! This people are just leaving him there and doing nothing!! I walked faster towards that man and assess him (based on what i have learnt in CD): lying prone down in an awkward position in the middle of the open and i deduced he is either drunk, unconscious or dead. So i assess further and do some physical check to see if he is unconscious.
"Hey are you ok?" giving him a few nudge on his thigh. He woke up after a few nudges and apparently drunk and couldn't really understand english. So i put up the thumb up sign and said "are you ok"? He replied with the thumbs up and said sleep here only.. Lol.. So i walked away and left that foreign worker there.
I hope Singaporeans can be more willing to help others in distress if it ever happens and not just look and walk away.. Yes it could be bloodcurdling but the least you could do is call for help if you are not sure yourself.. Recently i lost a cousin who had a heart attack in the streets but help came too late for him..... What if it was someone who is dear to you?
