but yet i'm back... just cos i had an amazing experience on the bus today... and i just have to share it.
it's really a small thing... but today, on the bus, it was really crowded, so alot of people were standing... then someone got off. instead of plonking himself onto the seat as most singaporean men would do, this guy (indian looking, dunno if he's local) turned to me and gestured towards the seat, offering it to me!!!! i was shocked! and i just smiled and shook my head. he turned to his other side and offered the seat to the lady standing on the other side of him.
WOW!!!! i've never encountered such gentlemanly strangers before!!! in retrospect i should have smiled and actually SAID something... maybe like "No, thank you, thanks for offering." Something more polite than just shaking my head mutely.
well... i'm impressed. so whoever this guy is, i hope more of him appears in singapore. you know how i'm always ranting about rude, selfish people who don't give up seats to old people, and don't hold the lift and doors... well, today my confidence in men has increased again. so maybe there are good men out there after all!
