I am currently in KL Sentral, waiting patiently for my train at 5.50 pm. Well, it is not the first time though, and I am already familiar with the place, actually to be precise, I kindda like spending time here at Sentral. Maybe because I can go online just about anywhere.
And being alone , wandering around KL isn't such a bad idea. Perhaps there are people who don't like being seen alone and such, but as for me, sometimes I do need my own time and space. Therefore, wandering off alone is quite a good idea at times :D
I went to KLCC to get myself a new fiction. And damn! I saw so many people in suits and those formal attires! And of course, during those moments I was wishing I can be like them someday. Not necessarily rich, but maybe enough to lead a very decent living. And perhaps, I am able to earn enough to get myself a Beamer one fine day.
After I bought the book that I wanted, I went straight to KL Sentral. I hustled through the crowd (okay, it wasn't as crowded as weekends, but I am trying to be dramatic here.hehe) to get myself to the ticket counter. Then, after I bought my ticket, I went off to fill up my empty stomach at McD. ( I was VERY VERY famished okay ? So I ate a porridge, and the whole set of double cheeseburger) hehe. :P
I was at the counter buying food, then I saw an old man beside me. I was waiting for my food, so I can hear clearly what he was ordering. I knew what I wanted long before I walked into the restaurant. But the old man was on the contrary, he kept on asking for the price of fried chickens and bread. And by then , I noticed that perhaps he only had around rm 10-rm12 in his pocket, because he kept on asking for food in that range of money.
At that particular moment, I felt very grateful of the life I am currently leading. While I am busy grumbling to myself for not having the sufficient fund to buy all those branded clothes, I forgot that there are people out there who aren't just as lucky as I am. I mean, there could be people out there who never taste Domino's or Starbucks or CB during their entire life, when those are my all time favourite beverages. 16 bucks is considered quite a small amount for some of us - the fortunate ones. But on the other part of the world, 16 bucks would change the life. Maybe even fulfill desires. I guess, walking alone makes me realise how lucky I am to be born this way. At least, for that moment I was aware that there are less fortunate ones out there. And though most of the time, I can't help but always wanting more, like the normal human nature... For that particular instance, I was able to stop grumbling and be thankful for what I have. I do hope in the future I am able to stumble upon a lot more situations like this. It taught me a great deal on the value of life.
And another thing... As I was eating slowly... By slowly I meant an hour... I couldn't help but noticing that foreigners put off their own tray. They clean after their meal. But us Malaysians ? We leave that duty to those workers. Sure, that was what they were paid to do. But I think it is not wrong at all for us to help them right ? I mean, we were the ones who ate the food, shouldn't we be responsible putting them off too ? I am just voicing out my opinion. Based on what I have observed.
p/s : What have been written above are basically based on my opinion, single-headed me. Purely from heart, generated from mind. I don't supposed I have to write about what others' think too, since I pratically don't have much time to ask for public's opinions. :)
