Unawareness

When you travel by MRT or buses in Singapore, you will notice that there is always a signage states "Please Be Considerate" or "Reserved Seating" indicating that we must offer our seat for those who need it more (pregnant ladies, disabled people, elderly people or mother with a kid). I was heading to Vivo City about 6.30pm yesterday and I took train from Bedok to Outram Park station. At that time I was busy BBM-ing (BlackBerry Messenger) with a friend called Catherine too (we were born to be friends with the same name, hehehe). She was telling me that our exam results will be released on 12am tonight which is lastnight. I was too busy BBM-ing her with my cell phone until the train reached Tanjong Pagar station whereby a pregnant lady and a man in his sixties boarded the train and were standing beside me. I was still unaware that there were 2 person deserves the seat that i was sittting because the train was too crowded during that peak hours 6.45pm. Finally, the man in his sixties shouted "people should be more understanding to give you their seats". I ignored my online chatting and was looking for where is that sounds came from. Oh my God, the pregnant lady (which i guess she is about 6mths pregnant maybe) was standing beside me. I quickly stood up, apologized and gave her my seat. I felt very guilty at that moment which I should be more aware with my surroundings. If he didnt say anything, probably I would just busy with my cell phone (because I was really unaware, not pretending) and the lady will just standing there until I alighted at Outram Park station. The "message" I got here is sometimes we are just too busy with ourselves without being care with others arround us that may need our helping hands, our listening ears or just our caring hearts. And the funny thing is my exam result didnt release on that day which made me too busy with my cell phone. Hahahaha

 Cheers! :)
