11.05pm
i guess there's some good in every one.
thankfully today turned out well enough (:
ytd while mugging for today's 4 tests
i saw kids one floor below me,
zooming by on this segway circuit
happily driving their segways pass potted plants
laughing wildly into the wind.
and they sounded so happy.
made me miss being a kid again.
on saturday while on the train
to sengkang for ivp,
i met this kid on wheels of a different sort.
saw this small girl come out from the elevator,
rushing to catch the train on the other platform
that was just about to leave.
she was small and alone,
probably about 8plus or so,
but strong enough to wheel her wheelchair
deftly into the mrt in the nick of time
as if it were the most natural thing on earth.
her wheelchair nearly engulfed her small frame
yet she bravely faces every day
with a level of independence
far exceeding those without her disability.
and i grew so sad for her.
kids of the same age,
yet with different worries,
different abilities,
different futures,
different lives.
what must the girl have done
in her previous life,
to suffer the igonomy of being wheelchair-bound,
unable to enjoy the basic joys of life.
life is unfair jiawei.

because cider is the elixir of life
