On my way home, near my house, I saw a group of people surrounding an elderly man. I went forward to find out what happen and see if I can help in anything.One called for ambulance, the other helped him to stop bleeding at the forehead. The people helping the casualty managed to contact his family members and they managed to reach before the ambulance set off. It is heart warming to see fellow Singaporeans caring for one another in times such as this.

So I was on my way to work this morning around 0740hrs when I passed by this accident which probably just took place like 1-2 mins ago. I immediately stopped & went to assist the rider who was lying by the side of the road. The rider was still conscious but was bleeding and in pain. There was another Malay rider who was there to assist the victim but left shortly after I arrived. The ambulance was still on the way at this point of time. What disappoints me is that throughout this period whoever drove past didn't stop to assist the victim or render any form of assistance. Yes, it's the morning peak hours but does one life worth so little?

On Vesak day, a dog found us. A sick dog. A pure breed French bulldog with a bad maggot wound on the upper part of her tail. She was running a fever and smelling like rotten meat. She has long nails and hanging nipples which suggested that she could have been a breeder's dog. She come to our dog's play area and sat there quietly. The vets were closed by then. We cleaned her up, did first aid on her and fed her. She was gentle and cooperative. We removed 40-50 maggots from her broken tail. She eats hungrily but we noticed that her tongue coordination is weird. She has difficulties licking up food from the plate. We bought her to the vet today. The vet says she is in bad condition. Her blood count is low. She is bleeding somewhere and losing blood. It is unsure if the maggots had penetrated into her organs. We also found maggots in her tiny tender feet. Feet that probably never walked on real ground. Vet said she is physically weak and probably has not been fed well. What worse is, she might not wake up from the operation which is scheduled to take place tomorrow due to her low blood count. But the operation is necessary. It's not a choice.

We have seen a few of our Aljunied crescent community cat at block 96-98 are injured. Yesterday, Makcik was feeding cats around there where this APEK came and kick one of the cat while eating. Makcik saw and shouted at him. He said " No feeding cat here. very dirty (makcik use plate ok) later cat berak(shit) everywhere. Makcik Replied " u dont eat la like that, you dont berak (shit) also lah! " Makcik wanna take his photo he show his butt and shake his butt to makcik and run. We suspected the old folks over there are making the cats injured/ We hope people in Aljunied keep a look out of these annoying people and shout or take a video and complain when you see they abuse them.

Painful to watch motorcycle accidents happening over and over again because we all know how it feels to be drawing first blood from the tarmac. Some of these accidents involving motorcycles were preventable. While many accidents have been caused by erratic driving, we have also seen those that were due to rider's own negligence, in other cases both driver and rider at fault.
