Legs chained with burden~
On my way home today...
Saw an old lady strugglin on the first step of overhead bridge...
She has a few bags of groceries...
Her injured leg made her struggled up the second step...
I went up...
offered my help...
She started scoldin me...
like I was some sort of con-man...
I still helped her...
the whole overhead bridge journey took about 15mins...
with her ranting...
When we got down on the other side...
I was sweating profusely...
She thanked me...
I walked home, hungry...
After dinner...
helped mum massaged her leg...
Her right leg was slightly swollen...
the area behind the knee...
Mum has been drivin her taxi for a decade...
steppin on the brakes/acceleration pedal piled up her tiredness...
So all I can do is to massage her leg frequently...
I also promised her to wake up 15mins earlier so that she can have more time to earn some income...
Don't know how long will it take to give Dad his 120k...
*I really wished that I can ORD soon...
The meager income from SAF can't help much...
With higher pay,
Mum won't need to work so hard...
Can even start saving early to renovate the apartment...
Also worried about mum's health...
She has been scratchin her left chest alot lately...
Complainin of slight pain...
Afraid that she may have some heart problem...
And she refused to see a doctor...
despite my rounds of persuasion...
Arghhh...
Pek Chek sia...
Afraid that Mum would be like the old lady I helped crossed the bridge...
Leg chained with burden...
and that burden is me...*Labels: Nov1
