Went to Nex today, the new shopping mall at Serangoon Interchange for lunch at Sushi Tei. Ate till my stomach was really full of good tasting stuff.
I eventually used my Starbucks vouchers, and got mocha frappuchino (I think). It was sort of worth the wait, but a bit sweet for my liking. Don't think I will spend $5.50 on a cup of that in the near future.
We were walking around the mall exploring, and I don't really know how to put this, but I saw this woman in her 30s who looked really scared of her surroundings (lots of people?). It was like looking at a timid puppy who was looking for the nearest exit. Maybe she had a mental condition or something. No one else noticed. It is like real life, isn't it? When everyone is in a happy mood, who actually notices people who are moodier than the rest? No one. It was just lucky I noticed her.
But so what? So what if I saw her like that? It is not as if I helped her or anything. Is that how modern society works? The cold indifference to the person on the street. It has been noted that the the bigger the crowd around you when you get robbed or slashed or something, the less chance of a person doing anything. Cos the perceived responsibility to do something is spread thinner among the crowd, so they are less obliged to do something.
Need to think this a bit more. currently rambling. :(
