Finally back in Singapore after being away for 8days.. But i definately don't miss the weather here lorrr......

Actually, I really regret not doing 1 thing when i was at Taipei Shilin Night Market...

While walking at the buzzing streets, there was a figure sitting on a wheel chair. He was holding a cardboard box.

On it was writen:" Qing3 Wu4 Wan2 Huo3", which means "Don't play with fire".

He is wearing a cap, paired with long, dark-colored sleeve shirt and pants. The only visible areas is so badly burnt and disfigured. His facial features are charred, misshape and disfigured. Both his hands and fingers are totally deformed to the extend that it became one lump of flesh. His physical appearance is beyond my description. It's like those pictures of burnt victims we see on the media.

Heart stopped for a moment. Stomach twisted. Tears begin to well up. I took out my purse and pour out all the coins i have. I didn't have spare cash to give. Also,i believe to "teach a man to fish, than to give him a fish everyday".
I looked at him straight into the eyes and smiled. The most sincere and heartfelt smile i ever gave. From the bottom-est of my heart.

When i walked away, i genuiely feel like giving him a hug. Yet, i could not muster the courage to do so. Scared 'bout how people will think when they see me doing so. Scared whether if he is a "fake", a swindler.

Fellow mate says maybe he is a part of those "gain sympathy from public" kind of syndicate.
But even if that's the truth, he had paid his debts off. I honeatly want to him to let him know that there are people out there who DO NOT view him as "another de-form human".

We should be thankful for what we have and how we are now.
And without a doubt, ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL IN OUR VERY OWN SPECIAL WAY.

So please, don't ever hestitate with what your heart tells you so.
