I did something upright today after Jun Hao called telling me he was trapped inside his house cause his brother took his keys. I thought that was really funny and decided to deliver food to his door step. While crossing the bridge on the way to his house, I saw this very old lady. One hand hectically grabbing the railings, on the other with an umbrella trying to find perfect spots for supports. I switched and widen my view and saw a guy has overpassed me before although he had seen that the old lady was in difficulties. I was hung back to approach and examined her whether she need any help from me. Leaving that 'My friend is starving' mentality, I went up to her and her face turned from a weary to a thankful one.

She chatted with me along on the bridge and exchanged to speaking fluent English that you had not thought to be. (People always stereotype that old lady with leg problems, walk very slowly are always uneducated. Ok, enough on stereotypes.) She has three sons studying for degrees in England and 7 grandchildrens. I told her she must be having a good life and my parents will still have a long way to go. I held her arm and I could feel her weakening veins are shifting positions. Her arm is so fragile and can be seemed to break anytime if I apply more than enough force. I hope I will not like that one day.

Daddy has a Canon AE-1 with FD 50mm lens. Produced between 1970s to 1980s. I am not sure whether I can put it to good use. Jackson advised me to save up money for Pentax. But on the other side I seriously feel like purchasing toy cameras. I just hope that there are no fungi inside my AE-1. Its the man that is playing the trick. Not the cameras and photoshops as always.

I did not steal pictures! But I saved to admire them. Lol. This is how I try to learn. :)

Just woke up from 3 hours nap. Gotta sleep again soon.
