karma

i am still reeling in shock.

my friends and i were in the metro, on our way home and we were just chatting as malaysians always do. during a lull in the conversation, a nice looking aunty came over, smiling, and tapped my friend, sherylee.

i nudged her to get her attention, and this blond haired russian aunty pressed something firmly into sherylee's hand. she smiled, and walked away.

we both thought she just passed on some random piece of paper, or gave sherylee drugs or candy or something. when she opened her hand, we were shocked to see a 500ruble note. that's like equivalent to rm50.

we were so shocked, and when we tried looking around for the lady to question or thank her, she had disappeared amongst the crowd in our wagon. and then she must have slipped out with the rest of the crowd when we pulled up to the next station.

Sherylee and i were in such a shock, and theorizing as to reasoning behind the nice lady's actions.

we told elise, another of my friend who was catching some shut eye next to me. she immediately thanked sherylee in advance for belanja-ing us lunch haha...

but we decided to give the money off to someone else who were more needy. it would've just been wrong to keep that money!

when we got off at our station, another russian aunty who had been in front of us the whole time asked if the nice lady said anything to us etc. then she told us the lady must've heard our conversation about our winter trip and the payments we had to make or something.


on our walk back to the hostel, the four of us including zi were still reeling in shock.


it'll be awesome when we pass on that money to a needy looking babushka or something, passing on the good deed in a chain :)


god bless the nice lady. karma comes back around and i'm sure something good is bound to go back to her.


ps. i'm still kinda on a high, reeling from the shock. faith in humanity restored! haha..
