Never judge a book by its cover...

Was onboard Express bus 502 to National Library when I witnessed something interesting...

I was engrossed reading "Relativity Simply Explained" and iPOD-ing away to notice that a pregnant lady has came onboard. Since it was a weekend, the bus was crowded and packed. There was clearly no seat available for her.

I didn't notice the whole commotion when a malay guy stood up from his seat and leaving his paper bag on the seat as a mode of reservation, approached the lady. By the way, the guy was seated at the back end of end the bus while the lady was in front. In summary, the guy took the extra trouble to reserve the seat and offer it to the lady.

I forgot the mention, the guy was heavily tatooed - both his arms were heavily decorated... Who would have thought?
