Today, I had Gaza Street Donation along Orchard Road. You can really observe the disparity in the kindness levels of people. In my point of view, generally, malays are more generous (maybe it's due to the cause of the donation drive) but there are people of other races who are really really generous. There was this chinese man, he came up to me and started asking me about where the proceeds would go to and he donated more than 13bucks when i mentioned the cause. In another case, a Filipino tourist (i think he was cos he has a camera in his hand) emptied his pockets and put all his coins (i think it was worth around $10) into tin. I told him that was alot of coins. But his answer of "I dont need them" really touched me. Oh, and it was heartwarming to know that what people stereotype as mats and minahs, are really kind people cos they also donated willingly. There are still good people around in this world we live in ((:
But ofcourse, there was the opposite. Especially amongst the rich and famous. People carrying Prada and LV and Coach and all other designer labels merely ignored. And the celebrities i met weren't any better. I think it's really a shame.
But ohwells, i hope God'll bless all these people. Especially the victims of the Gaza conflict.
