just a short post, a long overdue one..
have u ever thought of this?will u expect bus drivers to greet you when u board the bus?would u expect a stranger to lend u a helping hand you need them?
In this singapore society,everything is done so quickly and efficiently that it sometimes lack the personal touch-up to the matter.take a bus driver for an example,his job is to drive a bus or for service purpose,a simple greetings to the passenger, but if he doesnt greet,no one will complain abt it.So when you see bus drivers greeting passengers,it is a nice gesture and its good to see.Bus drivers who usually greet are either young adults or foreign workers,u seldom or u dun see older drivers doing that partly becoz they take bus driving as just a job and nothing more than it.If a bus driver goes the extra mile to greet passengers,i am happy,if he greets every single passenger,its fanatastic..that is wad i witnessed.A bus driver that greets every single passenger when they board,i board it during peak hours and this is not the first time he greet.this is great to see,imagine a tourist that happened to witness this,wad will be his impression of singapore service standards?Unfortunately,Singapore has one of the lowest service standards around the reigon.
Would you expect strangers to lend a small helping hand to u?i rmb there was once when i was jogging,i jogged pass a sheltered area and there were 2boys,their yoyo was stucked on the shelter,they are not tall enough to retrieve it,so when i jog pass,i simply that the yoyo down for them and its nice to receive a thank you for them.To me,its a simple job,but to them,they may spend hours trying to get it without any result becoz they are simply not tall enough to get it.
Just a few days ago,i was having lunch at kfc.there was a queue at the basin to wash our hands.infront of me was a little girl,barely tall enough to press the tap and behind be was a teenager girl.The little girl took abit of time trying to press the tap becoz she was not strong so i helped her to hold on to the tap while she wash her hands,she gave me a sweet smile at the end and said thank you.
there are a few more incidents but i just cant rmb.moral of the story is,u dun need ALOT of effort to lend help to someone,a simple gesture like this is enough.
Oh man!CT is next week...i need to finish BRF first as its freaking hell lot of things to read up on.
