Amy’s Mind S-H-A-R-E

It’s hard to come upon kindness, true kindness is hard to find like a flower that blooms in times of adversity. I felt so lucky to have met a kind soul. Just yesterday, I went shopping at Ikano. Smart of me to park my car at The Curve only to realize that Ikano is actually closer to Ikea parking. Anyway, after I was done with everything, I took the long walk to my parking area. There was a long queue at the ticket machine. While waiting, I was rummaging through my purse to get RM1. To my surprise, I only have RM10 bills. So now, I have two options. Wait & use the big note or start asking around for change. I weren’t too sure if the machine actually take RM10 bills. Being adventurous & hoping that my luck would be good that day, I waited in line till my turn & tried out the RM10 bill. Guess what, it DID NOT GO THROUGH!! Yeah..lucky me. I tried with another note, didn’t go through either. Then I ask the guy after me if he have any change. Without even bothering to check his wallet, he said no. He was just plain lazy. I asked another guy after this meanie, and he didn’t have either. With a heavy hand, I pressed for my ticket without paying.

So along I went, braving myself up & started asking everyone along the queue for change. Reminds me of beggars along the streets of Winnipeg street, asking for change. Anyway, most of the people in the queue, especially guys, yes GUYS, you are just lazy people. Answering me in the non-chalant way, don’t even bother to flip through your wallets. I went on & on until voila! I met my saviour. This lady who was working in Curve. As I don’t have any small change at all, I have like 4 pieces of RM10, and the lady had like 5 pieces of RM1. She offered to give me the RM1! I know this may sound peanuts but where would you find, especially in KL, people who offer you money with no strings attached. Mind you, we are living in a big city where people don’t even have time to past their shoulders. Ok, I might be a bit dramatic here & there should be some kind souls lurking around in the streets of KL. Heck, in fact I found one! So, I’m a believer that there are kindness around. Even though it’s just one, I’m sure there are more!
