Taiping trees and a story to tell






These are the hundred years old tree along the street in near Taiping Lake.

Here's one unrelated incident I stumbled upon at the morning market a few days ago. In that drizzling morning, I went to the market as usual minus the umbrella still! As I ordered two packets of noodles to take away, a woman in her sixties standing just two person away from me was falling tumbling down to her side. We were shocked at the moment, and a few passerby were trying to help her get up spontaneously without a second thought. But she obviously is struggling to stand even though that's with help. Then a middle age man walked to them and asked the old lady to be sit on the floor first instead of standing up. Not long later, she confessed that it is the extra long umbrella held by a nearby woman in that crowded market that went on between her legs which caused her to drop. After more than five minutes or so after I've got my noodle packed, the poor old lady was still not able to stand up, I left to my car despite there are still crowds gathered in the place. I hope she is all well by now.

So, sometimes it's comfortable to use big umbrellas so as we're not getting wet at all, but please be mindful on the length of it. Perhaps it's length is really posing danger to other people around you. I always use those foldable umbrellas, when not in used, just chucked it in the green/shopping bag. No lengthy problem, to hooking problem ^_^

At the same time, there's a lesson learned - it's not necessarily right to get a person to stand up immediately, after falling down. horr...

Hann and Vienna

 Hann

It has been a long time ago since I shop, made a quick run over the weekend which is not intentionally for me. Bought a favorite grey sweater for my youngest brother, a new singlet for me which was on sale. That white singlet is too plain on the look, need to have an overcoat or cardigan for it. But soon after, some brooches have turn into a new made right from the craft room. Pin it over a blouse, an overcoat, on the shopping bag, a craft bag, and so on...
