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

was watching the channel 8 家庭总动员。hosted by quan yi feng and christopher lee. when watching this kind of show, i would cry. i'm quite a emphathetic person. i sympathasize people's situation. i think it's avery meaningful show. they should come up with more of this. because around us, there's simply too many unfortunate individuals around.

quan yi feng was very right, "when you fall down, the most important thing is to help yourself up, even if you're left alone" but the worrying thing is, some out there, would not even help themselves up.

though the help is not extensive, but let me tell you a story. i think i've told to some of you before, but i have to say it again.

back when i was JC1, when Martin Shing was still in our school, i went out with him and Hui Qing. outside Shaw in orchard, we saw this cripppled old lady, selling tissues and other stuff. Martin bought tissues from her, and gave it to us, saying he didnt need it.

it was just a dollar, yes, but you dont know how much it meant to that old lady. to you it may mean nothing, but it may mean the extra ability to earn herself another spoonful of rice.

i asked martin, "why did u buy it since you didnt need it."

"because i wanted to help the lady."

"there's so many of them, how much can you help?" i said. AND MARTIN REPLIED SOMETHING I'LL NEVER FORGET,

"不懂耶，能帮一个是一个咯。。"

it totally touched me. i'll never forget what he said. because it never came across my mind. it was something that he really thought about before. and audiences out there, dont lie, i bet you also never thought of it this way. i thought, his mentality was really something to be proud of. to have such a friend, it's really my honour.

& i also thought, it's what the show was all about. just try their best to help whoever they can, quantity is not their aim. it's really the thought that counts.
