i left home early morning to catch an early bus to KL,
Had an appointment at 10 a.m in Time square
had lunch with an Omani(Issam) and a Sri lankan (Lakshan) there.
Then i went to KLCC with an Omani, Sri lankan, and two Saudi girls..
all 5 of us when to Aquaria
then we walk all the way from KLCC back to Times square.
We were just on time to catch Rush Hour 3 and i watched with an Omani, Sri Lankan, Two Saudi girls and three Yaman Boys..
and it was a great American mix Chinese and French show. hahahahaha
But my purpose for this post is to share what i have experience on Thursday.
i Loved and enjoyed the company of new found friends from lands that are foreign to me
but their courtesy and smiles are a familiar feel of friendliness and warmth.
and i felt a little touch of Saudi when i get to hug the girls goodbye.
As i left Time square i took the train to KL Central where from there i will find my free bus home. As i waited i finally get to calm my steps to see the looks on the faces around me. i rested my eye on a little girl as she starred up directly to her mom , and in them i see fear and tiredness but at the same time they showed safeness and love, because her mom was holding her hand and wiping the sweat of her forehead. i know how that feels.....
It is a feeling that even animals understand and it could only be felt through a loving mother.
Many buses came by, but non of them will lead me home... then came a blind man in shades, without noticing where he was heading to, he walked directly out to the busy road, and some buses nearly hit him, thankfully a nice Samaritan came and pull him to the side, people were staring, i gave a small squeak but thank God no one heard me.
Isn't it amazing how the blind could lead themselves with trust and bravery that they can safely go out and go back home in one piece. I've seen two blind man that day, and they both know how to travel by buses. some times some of us don't even know where we are heading to even when we could SEE!!
On this day i saw ACCEPTANCE and RESPECT through people that are no different from me except their race, religion and nation.
I saw LOVE and PROTECTION from a mother who has nothing but only the best to offer to her children.
and i saw KINDNESS in a stranger that no one knew you would one day owe your life to.
