1. The Enchanted - Rene Denfield
What a stupid myth. Or is it?
Thursday, April 12, 2007
You know what? I had the most amazing happening in my life yesterday. Oh reconfiguring the internet IP whatever is not included. Yes I need to do it again because of my itchy hand. And no... changing the blog layout is not a big deal. I knew how to do that long time but it's just 'damn mine sucks so I need to do something' attitude' after looking at so many grandiose layouts - KIASUISM.

But what happened yesterday?

Right. Yesterday, my family oldest car was nearly on fire. My sister and I were inside the car because we were on the way home from the LRT station. I hopped into the car and we headed off to our home. Not long after that, we heard some noise in the engine. So loud was the noise that's enough to convince us literally that the engine was dropping to the ground. But we just didn't care.

We just looked at each other indicating there was nothing wrong with the car except it's a 10 year old car.

A few minutes later ...

Renaye: Jie [sister in Chinese], I smelled something burning.
Jie: Yea, me too. Is something burning outside?
Renaye: No jie. It's not outside ... and why don't you just turn on the haphazard light?
Jie: THE WATER ... HIGH ... !! GET OUT GET OUT!

We immediately stopped the engine at a junction and got out of the car with some uninvited steam permeating from the car engine. I grabbed my laptop baby and ran a few metres away from the car.

We stood on the roadside awaiting help for we are speechless and wide-eyed of the unfolding event. We immediately contacted our mother for rescue. And in the middle of that, there was this middle-aged man came to tell us to steer the car from the main road with all sort of hand movements. My sis was yelling at me to come and listen to the man. But I didn't budge from my stand - simply because it was too comfortable to stand still.

But so what if I listen to the old man? Why point here and there and talked so much if you could just help the 2 ladies to steer the car? I don't appreciate his words whatsoever. You saw us in need of help and you didn't even bother helping us by taking action but just telling us in a mere 'I ate more salt than you' attitude.

What is the myth? If you are a beautiful lady in dire need of help, there will be someone coming to your rescue? Yea. Kiss my a**. My sis and I stood there for like 30 minutes and no one came to our rescue. So many drivers just passed us and some even honked us for having the car broke down at a cornering. Some motorcyclists even tried to turn by passing behind my back.

And of course, we attracted tonnes of attention for the car just died during peak hours and at the-only-lane-to-get-home road. But no one came to help us. No one came to ask us how are we doing. No one asked us if we know any mechanic in that vicinity. No one asked us if help is coming or not. No one and nobody. We only got cold stares from the drivers. And one even shook his head at us - feeling sorry?

How sad it is in the context of our culture. Why no one stops and volunteer to help anymore?

Before I drone further, I should just first ask that question to myself: did I ever stop to help a person that needs help?

What about you guys?
