28/5

Was eating at Maxwell earlier with the colleagues. Ordered seafood shengmian again yumz~ (had that ytd too haha) They gave a bigger portion today. Couldn't finish it all and had some leftovers. Was hanging around chatting with my colleagues when all of a sudden, one uncle came beside me and asked, "Zhe Ge Shi Shui De?" (Whose is this) and he pointed to the plate of sheng mian.

Hesitated for awhile.... before answering with a lil uncertainty that it was mine. Was anticipating what he was gonna ask. Doesn't seem like a foreigner asking for recommendations.

He then asked, "Ni Hai Yao Ma?" (Do you still want it?) I said I didn't want it anymore. He then took the plate away.

SOMEHOW, we all knew that he wasn't the cleaner but rather, a homeless uncle looking for food. I don't know how but we knew, and the mood suddenly dropped... It was honestly my first time experiencing such encounters and I feel so sad for him. Felt like giving him some money to buy his own food but he was gone after we recovered.
