I was at Starbucks, KLCC grabbing a bite and enjoying my Caramel Macchiato. While texting and halfway through my drink, the waitress asked me if some other people could join me because I was alone. Of course, I agreed.
The table was a small one with only three chairs. When I turned around to see who would share my table, it was a married couple with a little girl.
In Singapore, it's pretty common to share tables but in Malaysia, it is not a common practice.
Anyway, the little girl took a seat and her daddy told her she had to sit on his lap. She obediently agreed although I could see that she wanted to have her own chair.
I quickly 'yam seng-ed" my drink and moved off. The mommy apologised that I had to rush but I told her I was going off and not to worry.
As I moved off and hovered just by the side of the outlet, texting some friends, she came over to me with the little gift (picture above).
I was so taken by surprise. Well, blow me over!!!! A random act of kindness and I was the recipient!!!
I asked her if I could give her a hug and she accepted.
This really made me smile. Now when I am home and I see it again, I am smiling again.

These things tough the heart in such a special way.
The same way that you find the time and make the effort to comment.
Thank you. :D

Thank you, dear. It gave me a bounce in my step and made me smile a lot.
This refreshes my faith in 'random acts of kindness'.
Usually, I am the one who makes the effort to surprise people.
I have to say this surprised me.
Godiva chocolates, I tell ya!!!!

Yes, it is certainly wonderful.
I believe there are many nice people out there but our culture hinders us from being spontaneous.
Thanks for dropping by. :)
That's it. if we wish to attain true spontaneity and unforced exuberance, we'll have to import more Latino and African DNA. I've already applied to MITI for a licence... just waiting to hear how much commission they want.
Woah.
You reaped what you sowed real fast!
Nice things happen to nice people...

Random Acts of Kindness just blow me away! Every time they happen. And how wonderful that it happened to you. Nice!
