Strangers on My Journey Home..

For four years I've been studying at KL and three years mainly at sg long.. I have been traveling every week to and fro from sbn to sg long. I usually will travel by bus and train... which will bring me back to my home sweet home...

But, a strange thing is.. i always meet with some strangers who are really good people.. I actually aimed to have a good deed everyday and I've managed to do that when taking public transport. I've lost count how many times i have given my seat to a pregnant lady, old ppl, children or handicapped ones.. they always thank me and some will ask me to sit back when there is a place.. well, it can be embarrassing sometimes when i've given my seat and suddenly i tripped and nearly fell becoz the bus driver drove too fast and unstable.. in the end, the old lady gave me back my seat.. sometimes, i stood up, and the person doesnt want my seat.. especially children.. so in the end i just sat back with pairs of eyes staring at me.. hehe but this did not stop me from doing it all the time im in a public transport.. i've managed to bring out this ethicalness in my frens too.. and it really motivates me to do more..

Well, when im waiting for a train or sitting in it, i will normally listen to my mp3 or read Reader's Digest or when exams are near, i will read my exam notes..so there's once when i was waiting for a delayed train at the serdang station, a man, in his 50s, stood beside me and saw me reading my notes. So he just asked me what am i reading... i was just basically flipping thru becoz my exam is two weeks away. Then he probed on the friendly talk and knew im pursuing my accounting course. Then he suggested me to take CIMA as a professional qualification. Then he talked and explained his job scope to me. He is an engineer but also a financial analyst for his company (part time i guess). He knows how to analyze financial statements and can tell out the performance of a company. He explained many things i've come across in my studies and he even talked alot to me from the minute we boarded a train until he got down at his station. In the end he wished me luck and asked me to consider that career path. I was totally unexpected that this kind of situation happens to me. Somebody out there, standing, giving u some good advice and you are just a stranger...

And today, as usual 1 Jan 2010, a new year, which brings some good luck. An indian woman boarded the bus. She is very old, and couldn't walk that fast. The places are quite occupied and i have an empty seat beside me. She came and i smiled to her, gladfully made space for her to sit. Then, half way down the road, she asked me for a phone call. She wanted to call her daughter to pick her up at an Indian temple. The funny thing is, she cant hear clearly on the phone, so i basically helped her to call and answer. Then, after that, she said thank you to me and lovingly touched my cheek and head, giving me a blessing for the new year. I really appreciate that very much.

Well, sometimes i think that in our journey of life, we will meet different people at different situations. I sincerely think that God has sent me these angels to let me learn more on the things in life. I'm really grateful that God has shown me this, the good side of human. Life is sometimes filled with pleasant surprises and Im grateful that i've learnt its lesson through it.
