today's lit paper to the horrors of horrors........wasn't too bad
smth reali uncanny happened today. was on my way back in the train. i board the train at Buona Vista everyday n travel towards Boon Lay. Now if u guys know abt the Spastic School in singapore, they are situated smwhr in queestown/commonwealth. so these kids take the train even b4 i board it.
they are indeed special. either they look extremely normal or have down syndrome. but they all converse normally. next time u call sum1 mad, think abt these ppl. they reali are mentally ill, but they are independent n pretty smart actually.they usually make a lot of noise n are extremely attn-seeking. they scream n shout in the trains and carry large bags. the older ones even haf gf/bf. pretty cute. smtimes i wonder if such behavior cld lead to disasterous consequences. and they are extremely protective of each other.
one such 'girl gang' i met today. there was this domineering one who was scolding n beating the rest, n from two carriages away, they slowed made their way to the carriage i was sitting in. suddenly as the train was nearing toward JE, one of the gals was almost 'freezing'. perhaps cataleptic fits( that is having a kind of fits without any motion) and her arms were stretched out, n were held by two other gals on either side.everyone thought they were playing.they seemed so till she fell down on her back.all of them made a big din abt her, " are u okay? are u okay? OMG Sumone help us!" they were realli dramatic
at this point of time, i aint gonna brag n lie to u that i threw my sch bag one side n ran to her n carried her n gave her CPR. in fact no one did. all of us watched. sumhow i thought that this gal was jus faking it. actually she was, i think. she opened her eyes to take a peek. but she reali was motionless. i jus froze in my seat- this young lady got up n tried to carry her. she was plump n cun be carried. sum manjan B*stard told that young lady not to press n help button n jus 'move her out when the train stops. the lady almost shouted back " what if the door closes on her?" soon there were so many ppl crowding ard her n as much as i was compelled to go for ward to help, i feared to be an hindrance instead of helping the situation. at JE, they dragged her out of the train n i watched so bloody Fing uselessly as the train got away.
i know tat there were sufficient ppl there helping that kid but wat realli hits me hard is that i din help at all. jus look, freeze n stone.
i too haf a sister with down syndrome . if any damn thing happenes to her , n sum1 refuses to help(or rather freezez uselessly), i tell u i will jus die.
damn. i reali hope that gal was faking it all.
