..:honesty is a virtue:..

i was off to discharge my obligation as a university student this morning right after class. on such fine intention, i went to the ATM machine and dengan sedihnya, i withdraw lah such n such amount of cash to pay to the finance dept. it was quite difficult for me to walk straight to the bank and not to ter'sesat' to the bazaarS n stalls haha...(naseb tak bukak lagi)

nways, the story is that, when i was at the Bank, (the bank tak bukak lagi so i decided to go for breakfast kejap) next to the door, ade lah kan ATM machines. well, as me n my fren was walking away from the Bank, a lady called out to us. she was prolly in her late 30. she was actually looking for someone to help her use the ATM machine to withdraw some cash. thank god i had before encountered such similar situations and so, i wasn't as gelabah as dulu2..

i still remembered the 1st time an indian lady asked for my help to help her withdraw her money, i was actually scared and was actually contemplating as to whether i should help or call for the authority (pakguard je lah kot) ape2 lah! haha..hari2 muda dan innocent dulu..(skarang innocent lagi masih..ngeh3)

nways, so yeah, we helped her and she got her cash. then she started talking and telling us that she never went to school, had no money to pay for the fees and there she was as we were walking, telling us her life-tale..saya sangat bersimpati dengannya..then, as we were about to go our separate ways, she thrusted a one ringgit note in my hand..h.o.l.y! me n my fren was like, 'never mind..takpe..takpe..' and she kept on insisting..so when she gave the note to my fren pulak, she just accepted it. she was like, may god bless u and stuff. the end.

thing is, it crossed my mind just a few mins ago. what if all this while, since she always need someone to help her withdraw; what if, (god forbids!) some dishonest person were to cross her path? what if? and the fact that she just writes her pin number on a tissue paper and just hand her ATM card over , just like that!

I pray that the people that will cross her path whenever she needs help will always be those who are righteous and honest..

i'm not saying that i'm thinking negatively of the people that exists in our society but you know what i'm saying ryte? today's world guarantee us nothing. oh well...gotto run..class!
