Tis the season of goodwill

So on Friday evening I was meeting a few mates after work for a drink. Brimming with goodwill and cheer, I offered to buy them profiteroles from this oh-my-god sinful Italian deli at the mall next door. I was making my way down on the escalator thinking fairly happy thoughts about cream filled profiteroles and lemon garnished gin and tonics when...WHOA!

I slipped and fell. Down the escalator. And landed on my right knee.

The shock and the pain had me paralysed until the escalator touched bottom, when I gingerly and slowly braced myself up. The leggings were torn, the knee was bleeding. And there were people walking past, over and around me.

NOT. A. SINGLE. ONE. OF. THE. MOTHERFUCKERS. STOPPED. TO. HELP.

Or, pinch my handbag.

Singapore, you so disappoint me.

The profiteroles, on the other hand, didn't.

Singapore is full of dumb, thick, scared, bored, digital people. Some normal people like you exist, I guess. Poor you. Hope your knee isnt hurting now.

Actually, I do. Like every place, it has its good side and bad. The good side is the reason I have been living here for the past 9 years.
