Dead
Street Job from Ang Mo Kio to Bukit Merah View. It is a Lady in her 30s. She is going there to attend a buddist chanting funeral ceremony.
Her nephew, aged 25, died in an freak accident at his girl friend's home. He accidentally fall in the bath room, break the glass that cuts his artery on his hand. He bled out before the ambulance arrived. They could not do anything to save him.
She blames the girl friend not able to save him by offering first aid. "She should use plastic bag to wrap up the wound so he will not died of bleeding,' she lamented.
He is the only son in the family, now the mother have to send off her only son.
Alive
From Bishan MRT Taxi stand. Picked up a middle aged man in his 30s with his 10 years old son. He is on a wheel chair. After he climbs on the taxi front passenger sit, his son goes on to dismantle the wheelchair for me to keep in the car boot.
From observation, he is paralyzed from waist down, he got to pull his legs up the taxi using his arms. I was dismay to find out he has 2 bags hanging on his waist, one bag full of shit and the other full of urine.
On the way to his destination of Yishun street 21. we chat about his tattoo and what happened that caused his condition. Illegal street car race in Malaysia.
Auto insurance does not cover any of his medical expense which comes up to more than 100k. He has to sell off his HDB flat and purchase a new one to cash out, pay out the bill.
"Now I am my own boss. I lend and go around to collect the debt" He said. "Debtor thought I am the runner, but they did not know I am the boss". Who can refuse him when he rings on your door bell to collect money, I thinking to myself.
He mentioned he has a brother that helps him a lot during his difficult times.
Reflections
How long you live or died, some time it is your own action. More often it is by the higher power (GOD) that controls everything. Some people might call it fate, predestination or karma etc.
We should give thanks and enjoy simple things or great pleasure this life offers. You will not know when it will be taken from you one day.
