Trust.

Today I realized and experienced how much I really trust a complete stranger.

Disappointingly, I've got to admit it's really quite... low. An indian girl came up to me while I was topping up my ez-link at Aljunied MRT after tuition today (loooooong ride from Whampoa Drive to Aljunied). She explained to me her story: coming from Malaysia to Singapore for an interview and losing her purse in a temple. So I told her to report the case and she said she did. There was one awkward silence because I think she doesn't really dare to ask so directly and I was trying to find out what was her main point. Then after that mini awkward silence I realised it's a money issue. Somehow, I decided to give her $5 and I also told her that I'm a student so I don't have much cash. Came home and told my mum what happened and my mum very quickly concluded that it's a scam.

Now I'm feeling sorry for the girl and mean for how low my trust is for her. And that being said, I really hope she's speaking the truth and I hope she finds her way back home.
