a word of gratitude

beats me...people seem to be falling down right in front of me lately.literally.
few days back saw this young daddy fetching his daughter back from school on a bicycle...and as they were going down a step, both of them suddenly went off balance and fell sideways. happened just a few steps ahead of me. i heard the knock of the guy's head on the ground.ouch.

another one came today as i was on the escalator down at yck mrt station. out of nothing, a middle-aged lady perhaps lost her footing and fell on her backside.as she was trying to regain her balance, she dropped again; this time on her back. two steps in front of me.

two scenarios shed light onto me. i reacted in exactly the same way. almost instinctively.
in the past, my reaction time would have been longer. more of a static.

i have only one person to thank for this.

If you see someone faint in the future, don't hesistate to help okay.
and i said, okay.

thanks.
