But beware, people.
If you see a woman with black and white short hair just opposite the National Library, don't donate to her! wah, that time i saw a business man donate to her, dumb lah.
I was going to walk to 190 bus stop at Chjimes (i know, it sounds far from Bugis but it's only a 15 minutes walk which i accidentally discovered when i was looking for Funan at cityhall's station the other time.) So, i had to pass by bras basah that route and all tt. For 3 times i passed by there, i saw her 3 times. For 3 times, she asked me for money. If she's not smoking, she's scratching her armpit.
She's around the age of 30-40+
There was this once, i was telling my mom about her after she led me to walk one whole big round from bugis to city hall and back to bugis again. No, we weren't strolling, we were lost. all thanks to my mom.
LiLi: Hello, no wonder dad say you do not have sense of direction.
Mom: no lah, eh, where is this place?
LiLi: I told u it's that way and you don't wanna listen to me! Raining leh! I don't wanna stroll with u!
Mom: Ok ok. U lead the way.
LiLi: Eh, mama, you know hor, the other time, there's this woman who wants people to donate money leh. so scary lah.
Mom: huh, really ar..
As we passed by that path, we didn't see her.
LiLi: Eh, that's weird, how come ar. This time didn't see her.
We waited at the traffic light.
Suddenly, mom nudged me.
Mom: Eh, look at that woman.
LiLi: *looked behind and got a shock of my life* It's that woman leh, mama. (whispering)
Mom: really ah?
she was wearing business clothings but in a more rugged manner. Her shirt was tucked out and.... her stomach was bulging out.
LiLi: eh, ma, she's pregnant meh?
Mom: how i know! The last time you saw her, is she pregant?
LiLi: no. don't have ah. Eeee.. fake her pregnancy!
Mom: Aiyoh! Scary leh!
Both of us kept stealing glances as she kept adjusting her "stomach". And it is too obvious not to watch because she kept nudging and hugging her stomach as if she's afraid it'd drop.
We crossed the road and saw her crosse the other side.
She kept adjusting and she even pulled her shirt up to adjust.
At last, when we were about to walk into Bugis shopping centre...
Mom: Eh! She take out her "stomach" leh!!
LiLi: where where?! Eh! wall block! -.-"
We then began to shop when we saw her again.
This time, her stomach was flat and she was hugging onto a plastic bag.
Mom: I think she stole something from a shop.
LiLi: Eh! How can it be! If you steal something from a shop, you'd have plastic bag meh!
Mom: No lah, just now she wasn't holding onto a plastic bag.
LiLi: She was lah! I saw her holding onto a plastic bag. you go wear your spectacles.
Mom: Your degrees are worse than mine, still dare to say.
LiLi: what! I can tell that plastic bag she was holding earlier on was guardian's one! I think she just fake that pregnancy to gain sympathy and then stuff the stomach back into a plastic bag cos it keeps dropping, simple.
Mom: No lah, she stole something and put it into a plastic bag.
So, the conclusion remained undetermined.
But moral of the story...
Next time, go buy a professional "pregnancy-stomach" if you wanna fake. If not, you're going to look stupid.
And, remember, don't donate any money to her! She's very easy to spot! Black and white hair and a little hunch back. 30-40 of age and she smokes.
