wednesday, 2nd of January 2008.Loh Manying, 19 years of age was on her way t work from Hougang station t raffles place.the train was packed beyond words,oxygen was out of the way,at five stops before dhoby ghaut station,she felt something not quite right.she started sweating in the air conditioned area.and she grabbed hold of the supporter tighter as her body felt weak.four stops t go.she looked around in search of a seat as it was somethg she was in need of.no luck.she wanted t ask people for seat as a person in need is a person in her desperate state.however she debated against it as she cant even manage t stand properly, much less TALK.three more stops,she could hang out no more, she wanted t squat down.amidst the crowd.-at least ppl will then offer seats unasked.a mother w a pram w TWO kids stood just infront of her.at that moment, where she felt the weakest,THE KID CRIED.this got her situation worst,she felt even MORE like fainting.darn.just as she was 70% certain she wanted t surrender,it was 2 stops t dhoby.it makes no sense if she were t squat for 1min and stand up at the 2nd min.so she hung on.FINALLY IT WAS DHOBY GHAUT STATION.never in her life had she felt the journey t town this long.while the city dwellers rush t the escalator, she went in another direction- towards the seats at the platform.there, she suffered great pain and discomfort.the seats didnt seem t ease her suffering,nor the resting time seemed t help.she had missed three trains."no, i must get going"she thought.so up she stood, and walked at a slow pace,going near walls and supports whenever possible,she rested on the handrails of the escalators and wished they could send her straight t her workplace.but no, the escalator rides lasted not more than a minute.=(after what seemed t be a long walk, she finally saw a WALL.leaned against it,and stopped walking.she could continue no more,and she bend down.a min.2mins."miss, are you okay?"she heard vaguely.it sounded as though the voice came from miles away.she didnt answer, only shook her head.after trying her best t assure the kind soul, she told her t leave.and she did.she then remained in that spot.another voice came "miss, are you okay?""do you need help?"manying could no longer stay strong, she submitted and said "yes."she was held onto while they approach the train t raffles place.somewhere near there,they saw a lady speaking t the staff at the train station.it was the lady who offered help first.
they then hand her t the staff where she was brought into the staff room.
in there, she was helped t the sofa, they took off her shoes, put her into position, and covered her w a blanket.
everythg happened while she was half conscious.
all she remembered was they asked her t sleep.
and yes, she slept for an hour before deciding she could stand up again.
they insisted her t be escorted, but she assured them of her well being.
being professional and well intentioned,
they got a staff t send her t her destination.
so yeah, that day,
manying was late for work for an hour.
and from then on, she decided she should marry a doctor. =)
every moment, she's worried about fainting again.
