That Special Someone.....A Stranger

Met this interesting guy in the train to Chua Chu Kang MRT. You see, first he was standing next to me and the next thing I knew, he had his body near to bending and his head so close to the book I was reading.

Interestingly, he was humming whilst reading my book and as if he was enjoying it thoroughly; I let him and did not mind. And then, he did the most hilarious, craziest act I have ever seen in MRT - I have been driving to work most times, so this has made my trip to work more exciting than any other days.

What he did? He clapped both his hands, tapped his feet and nod his head vigorously like up and down, left to right…very entertaining BUT see this guy is special, he is different; he did it his way, and nothing around him matters to him; seemingly oblivious to my unconcious stare. He is in his own world. I looked at what his wearing and what on his T-shirt says it all.

I am ashamed of myself for thinking he was some kind of a freak; it turns-out he is one person in my entire journey to work on that day, from walking from home to the MRT station, MRT station to where the company bus would pick us up and up to my intended destination – work, joyful...!

Besides my MRT experience this morning, I have got to keep this in my journal is – a gift from Mark. I’ve got to redeem his 5626 DBS points.!! I am ecstatic. In cash it would have cost him S$120.00. It made him happy to give away vouchers and I, on the other end, receiving it. Did some homework,.. after some googling, I chose Cold Storage vouchers, movie tickets and S$60 SPC Fuel Voucher.

I will make my first attempt to redeem the Cold Storage vouchers on Friday and the movie tickets on Saturday. Dyna wants to watch The Princess Frog but both Ili and Nylie wants to watch New Moon. I am sandwiched.

3 things that made me smile today :
1. That special guy @ MRT
2. Mark Bridge’s DBS points
3. What I had for lunch – Green Been Porridge
