Is dinner time again, this used to be a challenging time for me, to hunt for economical meal especially around Orchard area.
(my favourite economic rice stall under my company dorm is closed after lunch)

For week I had walked thru few streets and looked inside most shops and malls but could not find one until recently I found plenty of humble shop inside here - Orchard Tower.

Yes! It become my favourite spot for dinner now.

But on the way before I reached here, there was a guy (rather fat and aged) approached me to sell off his food voucher of $100, he asked my help as he is facing financial difficulties now, but I refused as I don’t dine in fancy restaurant.

During our talk his eyes turned red and asked can spare him $10?

To me I feel bad for him, as this is the least dignity that a man has to beg for money.

I used to faced many in Msia and I know most may not be legit, but this is the first time I met in Singapore.

By looking at him, his head turned down so I just hand in $10, and wished him good luck.

I am not coming from wealthy family and we are spending wisely for household, $10 to me still have value, but now I feel this value if to help this guy will be greater than the value itself.

Now is a difficult time for all of us, and I hope everyone can thrive thru this tidal wave peacefully, and let us be contented of what we have, we are wealthier than what we thought. 🙏🏼
