in the midst of my procrastination, I remembered a blog which I read about while at Jer's house a few weeks back. Its actually an article in Reader's Digest that introduces the blog WanderingScribe (www.wanderingscribe.blogspot.com) that is set up by a homeless person in London in her exasperation.
Having lost contact with her family & just stepped out of a failed relationship (which have cost her all her friendships) she was penniless and had to live in her car. She spent about 2 months sleeping in her car every night and slipping into hospitals, churches etc to bath and lived on welfare money. when the loneliness almost drove her crazy she decided to set up a blog so that she can break out of her world and communicate with people. (in case you are wondering, she did it in the public library)
well... I was just recalling how I was telling ZZ and the others while walking to double O that Fri night, of how rich Londoners are. don't forget that there are people on the other extreme end too.
Reading her posts about her plight quite got to me. She was so lonely and helpless, wanting & trying to find help but then shame & dignity made her pulled back. And I cannot imagine surviving on that puny sum of money in Singapore, not to mention London. So how did she manage to find a way out of her homelessness?
shall let you all read yourself to find out.
