hahahah the title reminds me of the bio project involving coral reefs, "no mo' nemo". avril, remember!

ANYWAY, as soon as i emoed yesterday, something good happened today! i think it might be because i had quiet time yesterday night and read ten pages of the bible. if i'm not wrong, Noah lived for 950 years, with other sons and daughters.

but! thank you, andy! haha everybody's so emo and you have to busy yourself cheering them up via tags. i shall stop sounding bad and tell you what happened today!

it is now 9.23AM, according to the clock in my computer.

so! i slept quite late yesterday night, but that's not the point. i woke up to my handphone's alarm at 7 today. my hair looked quite nice :D but i bathed and then it became gross and wet and stuck to my back. i wore my Lee house shirt and old mg shorts, had milo and biscuits for breakfast, then my father drove me to school!

it felt very and extremely strange, to say the least. it was so quiet and empty, that i kept looking around, waiting for a sudden surge of primary school kids, running and screaming their heads off. not that i actually miss them. so, i walked to the science labs and there was nobody. went to staffroom to slip my progress report and bio SPA file into the respective pigeon holes. then walked back to the science labs again. tried all the doors and found that one swung open easily.

walked in tentatively, and it was very dark. but i told myself that there was no one here but God watching over me from up above. made me feel better and i went through almost everybody's files and realised that i'm missing so many practicals! haha, i'm so going to get it from mr liu once school reopens, but in the meantime, i'll go search for them.

everything done, i walked back down the slope and to the bus stop. then i saw a blind woman. as in, i only knew she was blind because of the stick she was holding and i stopped for a while to see how it works. she was managing by herself quite finely, so i got out of her way and proceeded to the bus stop. but then, two caucasian girls ran past and the blind woman was like "excuse me." at first i thought she said that so the two other women would get out of her way. but when she turned around and said "excuse me" again, i realised she probably needed help. the two women ran away already (morning jog, i think), so i walked up to her.

"yes?"
"excuse me, can you walk me to the bridge?"
"oh yeah sure. the bridge?"
"yes. can i hold your hand?"
"...okay."

hahah it was quite funny here because i don't know how she wanted to hold my hand. but thanks to a particular taiwanese drama which i watched, i knew how! so i offered my right arm to her and she held it. it felt quite nice, you know, to have someone being dependent on me. like, wow, i'm helping someone! i'm doing a good deed!

so then i walked her to the bridge.

"are you going to to bus stop?"
"er no, Sine Darby Center."

stupid me heard Science W Center. and i was mentally thinking, where's that?!

we had to cross a road, but we did that successfully. we chatted quite a bit along the way and that was nice too. :) after reaching the bridge, i asked if she wanted me to cross it with her. she was worried that she was taking up my time, but i assured her that i had lots and lots of time. so we crossed the bridge together.

halfway through, i realised that the Science W Center was actually Sine Darby Center. so being extremely kaypoh, i asked her why she was going there. she said that she worked there! i was all "ooh, really? what do you work as?" and she said "telecommunications." i really really wanted to ask her "how?" but that's kinda sensitive, right? so i shut up.

after reaching the foot of the bridge, i decided that i might as well do a thorough job of helping her, so i walked her to the Center. the security guard saw me and gave me a big big smile that said "good job, young lady!" and i felt so proud of myself. i smiled back.

the blind lady said to bring her to the lift because she needed to get to the fourth level. but my sense of directions seriously suck and i had to ask for directions TWICE, even though the lift was just in front of me. hahaha. so, i got her into the lift and said byebye, in a cheerful but sad way. i only spent ten to fifteen minutes with her, but it was still sad that i wasn't ever going to see her ever again.

when i walked back to the bus stop again, i felt TOTALLY AWESOME okay! like, omgomg i just helped a blind person! haha i was smiling goofily to myself throughout. it was kinda retarded but it was so hard to NOT smile! eh you go and help someone then try to frown la. it's damn difficult okay. you feel so happy inside!

thus, it was a good start to today. oh but when i boarded 171, another blind person alighted. so i thought to myself "ahoy, someone out there's going to do a good deed today!" and maybe that person will blog about it too, like me!

hahaha, i cannot get over the fact that i helped a blind person okay. it's like i've glorified His name AND mgs' name. haha cos i was wearing my school shirt. whoo so happy so happy.

i'm like totally not emoing anymore. the weekend will be here tomorrow and i can have fun again! :D

audrey's a happy girl!
