Covid Chronicles, Day 7

Circuit Breaker – Day 7

I was entering an MRT station when I saw a woman not wearing her mask come out of the station looking flustered, and behind her was a lady in a grey shirt, wearing a mask and gloves. I recognised her as one of those SMRT ambassadors and I wondered if they were linked.

So I approached her and asked, β€œExcuse me, do you really turn away people who don’t wear masks?” She said, no, we just encourage them to wear masks.

Then on a whim, I asked her, β€œAre you, like, from Jetstar or something?” She said, no, and then as an afterthought, added, I’m from Singapore Airlines.

No wonder she looked so pretty.

1. I’m grateful I have practice wearing masks for long hours.

2. I’m grateful for empty trains and buses.

3. I’m grateful for a free reusable mask provided by the government. It’s very comfortable, though a bit hot in the day time.
