There's still hope...

I was waiting for one of my friend for lunch (or shall i say, i was just waiting to get paid. you see, i was doing some free-lancing job for him. some graphic free-lance job. it was one of those ways to get more money.) i waited for him for quite a long time. at first he said that he will arrive around 1:15 to 1:30. unfortunately for me, he arrived around 1:45++. well that makes my lunch hour been shorten to a good ol 15minutes.

to cut my story short, when we finished our lunch, i mistakenly placed my 10bucks under my plate of food. i was going to pay for my food, but my fren paid for it. so i palced it under my plate. soon after my makan session was over, i just left the place and totally forgotten bout my money. so careless of me. i think i'm having some short term memory lost. hahah.... it was so kind of the waiter there to return back my money. even though money wasn't much, i really appreaciated his act of kindness and honesty. THANKS DUDE!!!

btw, i think he'd not a malaysian, maybe someone from myanmar/thailand/cambodia. you see, other people were kind to us malaysians, why can't we be kind to other foreigner (cambodian, thais, indonesians etc) or towards our own people. there are many people in the country that will only be kind to 'kwai loh'/mat salleh/europeans,americans and australian. they still see them as far more superior than us. and we tend to discriminate poeple from our own South East Asian region, by stereotyping as people from lower haste, criminals etc. not all of them are criminals, rapists, thief etc, majority of them came here just for a better living. and you got to respect the work ethics, hardworking and don't mind of low pay. they worked their hearts out. for locals, we would never accept low pays and grumbles when we were given loads of work (and that includes me as well). i think i need to stop all the whining/grumbling/complaining. but it's difficult for me, as those bad habits are like second nature to me. SIGH!!!!!!!!!
