was quite disaster-prone today. after work i headed to buy a Big Gulp at 7-eleven when this customer walked past, knocked it down, and spilled my whole drink on the floor! arghh. didn't even say a proper sorry. i've created so much havoc & trouble at that 7-eleven man. sheesh.
and then at city hall mrt station, i was walkin w doug when this man literally fell on me! initial reaction was to be surprised & irritated. from the corner of my eye i had seen a white sleeve so i thought it was my colleague at the coffeeclub or sth. turned out to be this middle-aged man, and after he fell onto me, he collapsed on the floor on his back. i was stunned and doug went to help him up. this woman hung around nearby and kept repeating "he's drunk". she seemed to be his wife, but in the end turned out she was just another commuter. interestingly enough, no one around stopped to help at all. sorta reflects the Good Samaritan story in the bible: the man by the roadside(middle-aged man), the samaritan(doug), the pharisee(the woman) and the other person who walked past(me). i can't rem that character! haha.
well some revelation sorta hit me today too. i've been so consumed in my pursuits of things in this life that God must simply grieve that i have sidetracked. gotta go back to my first love.
