How the tranquility was broken...

Saturday...most of the times the 6th day of the week is our family day where we spend it indoors or outdoors together...so long it involves all of us. We decided on goin to the East Coast today and so before we headed there, we bought ourselves a meal from MaCdonalds. We got there, laid out our mat and while Chandini & mum were lying down on it and lazing, dad and i were all set in our yoga posture.Of cuz we couldnt meditiate... just sat that way to straighten our spine.

So after 2 hours of family time, we started heading home. Dad wanted to try the new expressway so we took a longer route instead of the Geylang one. as usual it was quite packed as the make shift durian vendors have their loyal customers there, and their loyal customers like always park all along the road making it more congested...then there are drivers who are there to pick up chicks from the red light district taking their own sweet time and cruising on the already congested roads... a scooter was whizzing past everyone and when it came to the car infront of us.... and BANG!!

it banged a bangla worker who was trying to cross the road with his cycle. I agree it was the bangla's fault to a certain extent,his bicycle fell off and so did he but i guess the shock of being banged had left him feeling numb cuz though it wasnt me, i could feel the pain throughout my body just by having seen it. Luckily for him it didnt get bloody. Then the rider and pillion of the scooter stared at him while he apologised and quickly went on his way. The scooter rider was so damn inconsiderate, instead of helping that poor fella he was staring at him as if he was so right. He was riding so fast on a congested road...wat was he thinking. then of cuz two other cars were affected...got scratches on their sides and they got down to check their cars respectively causing the other impatient drivers to honk...

then we took off from there not really knowing what happened in the end..I really wish the man whoses vehicle got scratched makes the couple pay for the damage.Inconsiderate bunch of youngsters. Didnt even feel the need to tend to the poor fella. Even if it was his fault as a human, i think we should be obliged to care for the well being of another of our kind...well thats just my two cents worth.

I uess i am pretty sensitive when it comes to such stuff. I cnat just brush off someone's injury thinkin it was his fault.So wat if it was? And who are we to decide whose fault it actually was? We're only thinking on our part, what to us seems right might not necessarily be right...right?
Hmm so as soon as i got back i wanted to get this down as its still so clear in my head. I needed to let it out so that i can sleep peacefully tonight.

Good night!
