Just earlier on in the morning today, in one of the Whatsapp group conversation, was talking about giving a helping hand to people around whenever they need help. To accumulate more good deeds and karma points.
I was heading out to meet Shuhui for lunch in Whampoa from Tanjong Pagar so I alighted at Novena to get a bus. And as I heading up the escalator to the main road, I saw this elderly lady struggling her way up the small steps from the taxi stand to the pathway. Went over to help her up as her legs are really weak, so as I was holding her to the stairs step by step, one kind soul came to help.
Didn't take note of who was the kind soul, my eyes were so focused on the steps she took and with my hands holding her tightly.
After the plight of stairs, I looked up, wanted to thank the kind soul for stopping by to help us.
I took a minute of lag time to realise who the kind soul is, or rather, the angel who was God-sent.
The God-sent angel is Radio DJ Bobby Tonelli.
I'm completely awe by how comforting he was to the elderly lady, despite the slight language barrier.
Bobby spoke to her in Chinese and holding her hands tightly to him, "Trust me, you got to hold me tightly" as he tried to bring her to step on the escalator. (The elderly lady had phobia with taking the escalator.)
After walking with the elderly lady to where she wanted to go, together with Bobby.
We had a short conversation, told him I was really impressed and felt comforting on how he helped out. I told him "I was helping her out and there you were, like a God-sent angel to provide help too."
xD Bwhahahahaha! It sounds alittle exaggerating but that's how I felt about him when he approached to help!
So anyway, what I felt amazing was how down-to-earth Bobby is in-person (of the 30 minutes time I got to talk to him) because in the media, it's all about the superficial surface.
Of course, besides the fact that Bobby is indeed very charming too!
Right after this, I gave Shuhui a call and briefly told her what happened. She was alittle disappointed thought.
And as to why she was, because while heading back to the taxi stand, Bobby was holding on to a cup of Starbucks frappe (if I remembered vividly) so I asked if that's his lunch. He said he already had lunch.
If you guys get what I meant! :P
