The Princess

REEN
I'm a princess. I've been blogging on this blog since 2004. I love cute things, pink, dresses, fairytales and tiaras. Shopping is my thing, make-up isn't. Being nineteen isn't easy, especially when you have to worry about grades, life and growing up. I'm currently a Mass Comm student in poly and hoping to become someone important in the media industry. Music is something else I'm into. You'll find me singing most of the time. What else? Oh, I found my prince (:

Weakness
Monday, December 06, 2010


Credits to the above photographers

There is a Singaporean that everyone knows..
He always stands in a corner, holding his hope tightly and waiting for someone to help.
And he, is my weakness. (well, not exactly him, but similar people)

It is a common sight in Singapore, heartlands or not.
They are mostly old people or disabled people selling tissues.
3 or 4 for $1. They try to get your attention and ask if you will like help them.

Having breakfast with bf at hawker centre..
Old lady holding tissue packets walks over slowly.

OL : "Please help me buy... 4 for $1" (gives a really pitiful smile)
Me : (without even thinking for one sec) "Okay." (See, I'm so easy to cheat. LOL.)
Me : (digs out a dollar and takes only one packet) "One is enough."
OL : "Thank you ah." (smiles and walks away)
Me : (turns to bf) "She so kelian" (insert sad face here)
Bf : "I know." (proceeds to pat me on the head)

And the same situation keeps replaying.
This happens whenever I meet old people or the disabled selling tissue packets.

Of course, there are some who sell things like toys or keychains. I do pity them but I honestly don't have $10 to pay for a smiley keychain. (I'm sorry!)

The only time I've ever rejected them was when I have no money at all. Then, I will feel mad guilty to walk away and ignore them.

Talking about guilt, something happened the other day.
I was at home, just chilling and watching tv. The door bell rang and thinking it was my dad, I hopped off the couch to open the door. Ooooh boy.

Me : (opens door and sees teenage boy)
Boy : "Hi, I made wrong decisions in the past and I've been in trouble. I am hoping to get a second chance so I am selling ice cream. Do you want to buy ice cream? Here is my license to sell ice cream."
Me : "Er.." (I didn't know what to say and I am kind of tempted to eat ice cream.)
Me : "Wait ah.." (runs off to mummy who is in the kitchen)
Me : "Mummy, this guy who done something wrong last time and is selling ice cream now."
Mummy : "Huh, what do wrong thing, sounds so scary. Don't want la. This kind very expensive. Tell him don't want."
Me : "... orh."
Me : (talks to boy) "Uh.. we don't want, I'm sorry."
Boy : "Please buy some to help me."
Me : (like so kelian! the boy looked awkward and sad in a ahbeng kind of way) "I'm sorry..my mum doesn't want."
Boy : "Okay" (walks away)

Then I walked back to mummy and said, "I feel super guilty now because I never give him second chance. Why you don't go and reject him!!! " ):

I don't want to open doors anymore. Rah.

I just can't reject people, especially when they are at their low point in life. I have a soft spot for people and I tend to feel really sad for them. Especially old people.

There's this thing about old people. I don't know about you, but old people affects me a lot.
It doesn't only stop at charities or even the act of buying tissue packets.
It even gets to me in movies. Whenever there are old people in a movie, I cry. Buckets of tears.

I never really knew what's the root of this weird effect but a really good guess would be my grandparents. I'm really close to them so I think I will subconsciously see all old people like my grandparents. And if they look pitiful, I feel for them. That's why I'm willing to sacrifice my dollar.

So now you know, this is my secret weakness. What's yours?

p.s. My classmate questions why I'm so silly to buy from these people because most of them are fakes. But honestly dude, I just cant help it. ):
