suspicious article? anyone??

what would you have done if you saw this very thing right in front of you? ring up the train captain like the lady did in the terrorist video that featured Sean Goh??

but ever thought of it this way: what the video portrayed was just an act, with the calafares sitting down, pretending nothing is going on, and the main characters doing as they are told because there is a camera there, and there is a recording going on. but what they fail to portray is that of a real-life scenario. in a real-life scenario, it's a complete different story, a different setting altogether.

here's my experience...

-----------------------

the photo above was the very thing staring at me right from Yio Chu Kang to Raffles Place station on my way home this afternoon. and even after i alighted, no one has yet to claim this article. not that i was totally oblivion about this thingy in front of me. at least i bothered to take a picture of it. but also, a few thoughts went through my head as i stared at this article:

"who does this bag belongs to?"

"what if this bag contains a bomb, and BLOWS up right in front of me? ... ... no lah, wont be so unlucky one lah"

"should i report this to the train captain? ... ... no lah, later like people will look at me and stuff. even though i may be doing a righteous deed, but i'll be kinda malu. then somemore lagi worse, later someone did claim the article, how?"

-----------------------

now, in the above scenario i've just mentioned, to whom does it sound familiar to? how many have been in this very position? but i guess that at least, for everyone else who was on the train with me and saw that article has had at least one of the 3 thoughts that i had, which explains why no one did anything about the article, and appeared oblivion and continue their own journey, conversing, listening to music, or whatever.

so with all the efforts put in to educate the public about being vigilant, do not leave your belongings unattended, or report any suspicious article, or call 999, is it all actually in vain? in vain not because the efforts put in were inadequate or going towards the wrong direction or what, but because it all boils down to the voices in people's head.

Life's Reflection

in life we always try to run so fast and run so strong
but when it gets cold and it feels like the end
i just wanna forget about everything and runaway
against my will i stand aside my own reflection
