Photograph showing the 'red packet' or Selamat Hari Raya ang bao in my bicycle basket
Went to work one day on the 5 June 2021. I went to pick up food and when I returned, I still never noticed anything in the basket. It was only after I reached the customer's place, when I was taking the food, I discovered a brown packet. I thought someone had thrown in litter into my basket. So I went to deliver the food. After I came back, I looked at the brown packet. It wrote 'Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri'. I took it up and saw something purple. It was a $2 note inside. Had someone given me a red packet?
I went working for quite sometimes now, and people who give tips are few. So far I had only encounter one case of a condominium customer who gave me $2 tip, and another case of HDB customer gave me $2.40. Then a few cases of 'keep the change' for a few cents of change.
Sometimes the customer will send message to say no hurry, stay safe. So there are quite a number of kind people around. Working in this line is very tiring and legs will have blister also. But its just so nice to see kind people around.

Another case of kind people is at Woodlands bus interchange. I was pulling the trolley. Luckily there were lifts, otherwise I had to carry the trolley all the way up the stairs. A woman saw me walking towards the lift and she waited patiently for me at the lift. Then she pressed the lift door opened, she was so patient. In the lift, there was another man. When the lift door opened, he pressed the door opened and waited for everyone to go out. This is definitely a gracious society.
