After going through long hours during my night shift, I finally could go home to take my rest. Once I board the train from Novena, this old man came seat next to me and asked "Are you a Singaporean?"

I was puzzled but replied. He begin to talk to me about his past after having acknowledged my job scope. He mentioned he initially wanted to alight at Ang Mo Kio but would love to talk to me and accompany me to Woodlands. Shocked by his words but neither could I stop him for his actions.

He told me about his previous experience of being under the same job scoper as mine, explaining the few incidents that makes the job a memorable one for him. I tried to pay attention though I was feeling exhausted. Once in awhile, he would murmur his speech but I kept in silence to show my respect towards him throughout the conversation.

I arrived at my station and alighted, so did he.The old man asked me to join him for lunch but I refused. I really need that rest as my Sister was going to have a BBQ with her friends that night, sort of a belated birthday celebration.

Thanking him with full sincerity, we parted from the station with our respective routes. I appreciated him for his sharing though he's a complete stranger to me.

I guess, I'm getting the hang of talking to people from all walks of life, or probably, I have to get use to doing that as it's part of my job skill too.

Regardless how people sterotype these approachable people, or considered insane people for some, I think I'm having the hang of my job during the short week of my attachment.
