Finally, i could get some time to post. WR IS MAKING ME PISSED LIKE SHIT. nvm.... it got resurrected anyway.
On Sunday, which was also National Day, i went to Geylang's Branch of No Signboard Seafood to eat. It was a dinner that i enjoyed, but also a learning experience.
When i reach that place, the first thing i notice was the number of Chinese(from china) waiters there are. Just by looking, it could easily add up to around 20+. Their service was awesome and there was no sign of reluctance and complaint about their job.
Suddenly, i heard this bell rung and all the waiters lined up in a row to collect their dinner. They are actually lining up for their food. All of them were filled with smiles.
And me, sitting there, having crabs, while those waiters sitting on the other side, having plain rice with 2 dishes, mostly leftovers......... I really felt that i was very very fortunate. Really, if those waiters, getting paid only less than 500 sing dollars a month can stay so optimistic, why should we as students, without woes of food and shelter, be beaten by the small defeats in life.
Those waiters would look at us, not being hostile or anything. But from their eyes, i could tell that they desire a life like ours, they want a better life. They have families back in China waiting for them to send money back.....
I really wanna thank god, for i am being born into a family that isnt poor, and not exactly rich, and i am satisfied.
