It's pathetic..

there i stood.. at the counter..
waiting for the people in the queue to vanish one by one until it reaches my turn..
then a customer in front of me caught my attention..
most probably because of her or should i say his appearance..
spiky hair, trendy jacket, branded shoes..
a teenage girl or more like a tomboy waiting for the cashier to pack her stuffs up..
this reminds me of someone else who used to be my housemate but more like a stranger to me now..
oh well.. back to the topic..
there she was.. waiting for the cashier to pack her things up..
i think it'd take hours to pack all her things up because what laid before her were dozens of beers, soft drinks, tidbits, snacks and everything you need for a party..
you name it, she has it..
while waiting for her, i lifted my stuffs up to the "rolling board" or whatever you call it..
when i've finished lifting all the things up, she's gone..
what's left before me was a trolley crammed with all the things that teenager brought to the counter a few moments ago..
then i saw the cashier making a phone call.. in her hands, there was a credit card..
a few minutes later, two security guards arrived..
they asked us to shift our things to the next counter..
i was kindna pissed though..
but we did as we were told..
out of curiosity, i kept myself close to the cashier and the security guards just to find out what was happening..
then i realize that the teenager actually stole the credit card from someone else and exploited it just to satisfy her own desire..
luckily the cashier found out that the owner of the credit card was actually a malay while the one using it was a chinese..
hmm.. isn't the teenager naive to think that she could bluff her way through with that stolen credit card all the time..?
to the cashier.. BRAVO.. you've done a good deed..
and to that teenager.. WAKE UP WILL YOU?!
didn't anyone teach you not to steal things when you were young?!
and please.. don't humiliate yourself and your family doing all those criminal stuffs okay?!
it's such a sad thing isn't it?

The strange lady..

there she was..
wandering aimlessly at the pavement..
staring blankly into the gloomy sky..
suddenly.. our eyes met in the mirror..
then slowly.. she walked towards us..
and she started mumbling..
what was she trying to tell us..?
not even a clue..
then she smiled..
a grin so innocent like that of a little girl..

in fact.. from the wrinkles on her forehead..
we knew that she's already a mid-aged lady..
this continued for the next few seconds..
honestly.. it's kindna irritating as we were having our supper that time..
suddenly, a hawker came by.. as if he sensed our annoyance..
"go away!" he yelled..
"my customers are having their meal.."

so again.. she walked away at a snail's pace..
shifting her target to another diner..
that instant, only did i realize she was mentally-disabled..
where is her family? where are her relatives?
no one seemed to be concerned about her..
or maybe she just ran away from her house perhaps?
it's almost 12 midnight..
and we were on our way back..
i turned my head, looking through the window of the car in search of that lady..
she was still there.. telling her stories again..
i could sense the frustration from the diner's face..
but she moved on with her tales..

with a naive grin etched on her face..
then.. the car started accelerating..
and her figure slowly faded away..

i wonder why my heart suddenly aches..
but what else can i do except praying for her?
