it was a fine day. i opened the shop and ran it without aiza. today there were only nana, amy and i of which we are the three newbies in the shop. thank god there were no sudden tsunami of children today *sigh* (of relief) so basically the day went fine plus i found out there was a job as a TESL teacher with very very good pay and very very lineant time (3 hours per day) so now i am thinking of breaking the news to aiza tomorrow hope she's okay with it.
everything went fine until about 7.43 p.m at KL Central. Crap the platform which i had to wait for my train home was pack full of people. i have no idea where they came from. i know it's the rush hour but it's just rediculous.
i just don't understand what's wrong with KTM Komuter. Off peak hour the system is on go. on time (sometimes) hence there's not that many people waiting. However, during peak hours, delayed train la train cancelled la it's really anoying. Komuter is the only way to get from Kl to the other side of KL and it's really annoying that the komuter system is like poop!
anyhows, as i was about to reach my destination, the stopped at one of the station to pick up passengers. came in this indian boy. small about 10 or 11 not more i suppose. he had to stand close to me as the train was still packed (demmit). as i was composing myself from falling apart in such small space with lotsa people, i heard a small voice, saying something. i ignored it, then i heard it again. I looked at the boy and i saw him looking at me saying in malay + indian accent "mr boleh tolong saya? ada 2 ringgit?" meaning sir could you help me? do you have two ringgit? i shaked my head mainly because i was shocked and i could barely move my hand to take my wallet.
then i saw him moved slightly to another guy next to me. the guy ignored him (well either he could not hear the boy or he chose to not to hear him). the train stopped a station after the station the boy boarded and he disembark the train with weary and worry look.
i don't know why he wanted the 2 ringgit and i do not know what he need it for. i wonder what does the parents do or does he even have any for that matter. at this moment i am wondering where is he now and what is he doing, has he gotten his two ringgit?
would i have reacted differently in a different environment (i.e not so pack train)?
how would you react? honestly?

ahahahah i like that - 'tsunami of children'. it's cute.
scared to break the news to aiza ke? ;p maybe we should all have dinner one of these days. haven't properly spoken to aiza in ages.
and yes, i think you would have reacted differently if you were not in a crowded train. How differently you ask? I dunno. But you probably still would have complained.
Btw, you spelled lenient wrong :)
