The world is a conditional place to live in. This is especially so in Singapore. You have to put in your fair share of labour to get a fair share of your earnings. You have to work hard in order to play hard. You have to scrimp and save in order to retire early. In short, you have to sacrifice some things in order to gain others.
2 days ago, I went shopping for groceries in preparation for the upcoming CNY. I was loading grocceries into my car when I was approached by a man for assistance. He asked if I could help to start up his car, as his car battery has gone flat. It wasn't a reflex action to help a stranger, more so in an open space carpark in Johor Bahru. Nevertheless, I performed that selfless act - I drove my car over, parked it beside his and opened my bonnet.
It didn't occur to me that I have done a kind deed. Maybe Syl reminded me of my selflessness. Maybe it was the 'Thank You' I heard 4 times during the deed. Maybe it was the 'Sorry' I heard thrice as he was leaving. As I walked back into the shopping mall to continue my shopping, I suddenly realised the power of such a simple act.
Maybe that is why the world is such a harsh place to live in. Everyone is trained to look out for what they will get back in return for performing a task or act. Maybe it is such because we start from young; afterall, the children are trained to receive their rewards for attempting to keep quiet or be good.

What more when you weren't leaving the car park; we were only halfway done with shopping! The fact that you had to leave your current lot just to help, risking time to find another lot made a lot of difference.
One condition though: he said that he was leaving, so a lot was secured upon your help. Well, that thought did surface in my mind at that point of time!
In the final stages, the dimpling is obvious both when lying down
and standing up. Water, suction, laser, massage
and now there is the electric muscle inspiration.
