a simple and interesting day
2 litte incidents lit up an otherwise simple day. As I headed for tuition, I realised that I was going to be late and I have to take a bus instead of walking(which I always do). Bus 38 was already here. I ran about 20m only to see the doors of the bus close. Realising that there’s no chance to catch that bus, I stopped running. Amazingly, I saw the door open once more, and yea the least I could do was to thank the bus driver for being so considerate. Tuition was ok, this time I could handle the RJ paper. Stayed over to watch the last hour of Pirates Of The Carribean. Can’t wait for the sequel to be in the cinemas!
Took train back home. There were about 7 or 8 of us sitting down, waiting for the train to come. As the train came, we all stood up and headed towards the doors. I spotted a wallet being left behind at the area where I sat, as well as this puzzled girl looking at the wallet. This is how our conversation started, through facial expressions and body language, without speaking at all.
Girl: (Pointing to the wallet) Hmm is that wallet yours?
Me: (Shakes head) It’s not mine. And I have no idea whose is it. Should be one of those who sat here just now. Perhaps you just take the wallet and find the owner later?
Girl: (Hesitates and then picks up the wallet) Ok.
(We took our seats in the carriage, facing each other.)
Me: How? What should we do with it?
Girl: (Looks around) Dunno.
Me: (Looks around) I try to see if I can recognise the person who sat beside me just now.
Girl: (Opens the wallet, looks at the identification card inside) Hmm I think it belongs to that lady sitting a few seats away from you now.
Me: Sure?
Girl: yea.
(Finally I spoke)
Me to lady: Excuse me, does this wallet belong to you?
Lady: Oh! yes! THanks! Oh!
Me and girl: (smiles at each other)
She alighted at Tanah Merah Station. Haha can’t help but take a few more glances at her. It is possible to communicate without speaking, just like what we did. Anyway feels good to have done something nice.
