Thursday night, I was at WIP in Bangsar Shopping Centre to catch up with some ex-colleagues from Microsoft. After few hours my eyes were drooping like an old dwarf… don’t get me wrong it was actually a very happening place! Tons of working professionals and foreign expats there as if to justify the long weekend has only just begun. We also bumped into more ex-colleagues at Bar21 later… just that my poor body couldn’t take it especially after a strenuous 75 mins of pilate workout earlier. :(
So I called it a night after one pint of Guinness Stout and proceed to the ticket machine. Good Lord, I realised the machine only accepts 10 dollar notes and below and my purse was all 50 dollar notes no less! The management office is already closed as it was already approaching 1am.
Then this big, dark and tall Indian man in a white security uniform walked towards me… I was a little skeptical but anyhow I explained to him about the situation. He asked me how much is my parking and then he said, “Okay no problem, follow me.” We went back to the machine, he took out his wallet and then… you wouldn’t believe it. He actually paid for my parking fee!
I was astonished. I mean, in a cynical city like KL, we are always wary of bad people but never in my mind would expect something like this to happen...
He refused to let me pay him back the money after I thanked him… he just smiled, greeted me and then walked away. I couldn't locate him after that even though I tried going back there to look for him in the past few days...
Pietro (yes, the DJ celeb!) and Yvonne
We definitely need more of this kind of people to make this cynical world a little warmer for us cold hearts to live in, don’t we? I mean, when was the last time you made someone’s day? A stranger in particular?
