this has been haunting me for a couple of days.

so last weekends i went up to wolfsburg and on the way back down to bocholt we gotta stop at duisburg to change trains. so the thing was, i was extremely starving and bought me some dunkins. while i was devouring those lush double chocs then came this guy, in the waiting pit, looking rather urgent saying something to two makciks in front of us. it was kinda weird cause these makciks didnt seem to respond at all even though this guy was doing all his body language to get through. and i thought, oh ok, i guess this guy must've said something thats not worth to be heard.

then, he turned to us. and said something about him going back home to munchengladbach and the rest i couldnt catch up cause he spoke really fast. like, really fast. but he did mention some numbers so i guess hes asking for money. no wonder those makciks didnt respond. it took me a moment to even give an expression. was looking at elly. mintak-mintak dia back up sebab sumpah aku blank. elly pegi telan donut, and then shook her head. and he left. speedily. so i thought, hey, he didnt look like a pauper to me. so what did he want? i asked elly, she said he's asking for money. yea, so i heard right. i asked, how much? she said she heard 1.99 euro. i swear i heard 19, thats why i went blank. cause dude, i cant help you that much. i dont travel with cash. but 1.99?? come on.. sian dia. 3 minutes after he left baru kami rasa kesian. but it did take me a moment to actually get a grip of what he was saying. so dont blame me. blame my brain for the slow digest.

nak beli tiket tak cukup lagi 2 euro. alaaahh mesti dia kelam kabut sebab takut terlepas train. dah la hari ahad.. train sikit. then kena cari lagi 2 euro, nak beli tiket lagi, lari lari bawak beg lagi, pegi landasan lagi. can imagine me being in his shoes. mesti sedih gila tak ada sapa nak tolong. dalam hati dia, 'demn foreigners, aku mintak 2 euro pon kedekut. siap kalo aku pegi negara dunia ketiga kau, aku tanak bagi sedekah dah.'

haihh, then we walked out from the waiting pit, i was kinda hoping id stumble into him. to redeem my guilt. to give him that 2 euro that meant the world to him. i didnt. it kinda bummed me out. it still does. man, i wish i offered him at least the donuts.

ya know, carbs + sugar = endorphin??

at least.
