Just realised I got cheated today! By a little boy. Few days back, I was walking to the supermarket near my estate to get something. On my way there, a little boy approached me. On the first look, I thought he was asking for directions. But later, he told me he hadn't ate for days. So are his family. And when I asked how much he wants. He told me he needed $26 or $28 to buy food for his family in a while. !!! Initially, I thought he merely wanted a few dollars. But seeing how badly worn he is, plus the fact that he looks Singaporean to me. I decided to give him some money. However, when I checked my wallet, I only have $50 notes. He saw it and told me to gave him $50 and he would return me the change later. But I told him I will go to the ATM nearby to withdraw cash for him instead. He later suggested to tag along with me. I told him, there is no need to as I will have to walk back here (Reason being, I stay nearby). But he insisted to tag along. So ya, I gave him $30 in the end.
But today, I saw him, all well-dressed with him mum and little sibling at Clementi estate. They bought groceries and other stuffs. All of them doesn't seems poor to me. And the little boy was so bubbly unlike when the first time I saw him all quiet and introvert. I felt cheated! Trust me to get con by a little boy! Agrh!
Anyway, I went to see a doctor today. Trust me to fall ill before CNY starts. Terrible feeling, I feel so weak, so tired now! :(
