Then she disappeared as the train pulled away.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">Jean-Baptiste said the brief moment felt &#8220;strangely meaningful, like something out of a movie&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">&#8220;Just two strangers sharing a smile and a wave across a moving train,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">Hoping the woman remembers the moment too, Jean-Baptiste said he would like to reach out to her.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">The Frenchman has brown hair and a light beard. He said he was wearing a white shirt and brown Italian leather shoes, and carrying a brown leather briefcase at the time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">&#8220;I was with a friend who is blond with curly hair,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">The woman he is looking for is Chinese, in her late 20s to early 30s, and &#8220;relatively thin and tall at maybe 165cm&#8221;. She has mid-length dark hair and was wearing a dark blue skirt.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">&#8220;She seemed quite energetic and bubbly,&#8221; said Jean-Baptiste.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">The Stomper acknowledged that reconnecting with the woman &#8220;seems like an impossible quest&#8221;, but said the &#8220;rare romantic moment&#8221; and &#8220;escalator magic&#8221; have stayed on his mind.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">He added: &#8220;If you are reading this and you remember waving at a guy on the escalator in Dhoby Ghaut that evening, I&#8217;d love to connect and see if that moment could turn into something more.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\"><span><b>If you are the woman or know her, contact Stomp at stomp@sph.com.sg or WhatsApp 9384 3761.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"flex flex-col gap-xl rounded-xl border border-primary-100 mt-xl\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stomp.sg\/assets\/stomp-comment-COLiWNMD.png\" alt=\"Stomp Comment\" class=\"absolute -mt-lg -ml-xs w-[203px] md:w-[255px]\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Have something to say?
