I am not TIMID anymore.

.:Friday morning:.
.:eight.zero nine.AM:.
.:bus number five zero five B:.

Today, as usual, I came to work by bus. I got onto the bus and sat until the bus passed by few bus stops in the AMcorp mall area.
The next stop, a very old lady came up. Spectacled, wrinkled skin, hunchbacked, with an umbrella hung on the lower part of the arm. It is apparent she's old.

During the past, I would only mumbled to myself internally.
"Should I let her sit?" *was a thought*
I was timid to act. I was shy to let others see it. Everyone will be staring at me. I was scared to show I care.

However, this time is dissimilar.
I didnt mumble. I voiced out to myself.
"Wanna give PoPo sit ma?" *it was words but with an action too*
This time I dare not do nothing. I stood up, looked at her and pointed to my empty seat. She replied with such a heartwarming word.
"T-h-a-n-k Y-o-u". Loud and clear, with a smile.
She actually was so polite to me. This shows she's grateful, I am touched.

It did not end here. Unexpected thing happened next.
A young indian guy, somehow in a hip-hop attire, got up from his seat and asked me to sit. I lagi touched. At the same time, an AhGong in his mid-sixties I think, got up to the bus. I told the guy, "It's okay. Let 'him' sit". AhGong sat down then.

This is a real phenomenon, when I truly see glimpse of hope, care and love surrounding us. Perhaps, when we do something, be sincere. People will realise and sense it. Just like that guy.

I'm happy because I'm brave this time. I'm not arrogant. I'm just feeling proud I am not the coward Lee anymore. Thank God.
