I was contemplating what to call this post...should it be "randomness"/"shocked"/"flattered" and the list goes on...Me and Nam for the zillion-eth time ran out of parking tickets (for non HUC students, we typically buy parking vouchers so that we can park for like RM 3 for an entire day, which is EXPENSIVE if compared to the other colleges but thats not the point i am trying to illustrate today), so anyway, we were like waiting in the car for like other students to go home, so that we can buy parking tickets to them, instead of going to buy an entire book of vouchers that will cost like RM 90 (note* i forgot to bring my wallet to college)..then here came this guy, he was like sorta walking in a quick pace, so doing what we would usually do..
Me: (winds down the window) "do you have extra parking tickets?"
Guy: Yes
Me: Where is your car? (btw, Nam is like sitting next to me as this happens)
Guy: Down that way
Me: Do you want a ride there? (this is a very typical thing to do, so don't be like appalled or anything students do it when, there are desperate for parking spaces, cars would line up where the bus ferries students from one campus to the other, then drive students to their cars to get their parking spaces)
Guy: sure. (gets in the rear seat of the car)
Me: where's your car again? (while driving)
[ok, i'm not about to repeat everything as it happened..so just use your imagination...from here onwards we are already at his car]
Guy: (takes out a book of parking vouchers, and tears out one to hand it to me)
Me: (dish out RM3) thanks!
Guy: no no no, don;t need
Me: no no no, take...
[the section in blue repeats itself like countless times till i said..]
Me: thanks! (and smiles la...what else right?)
Guy: (extends his hand for handshake and ask what's your name?)
Me: totally not expecting any of these, just shakes his hand and say hannah then say thanks again and walk away...
[Back in the car, i repeated like this entire story to Nam, and she was like....what's his name? did you ask? I was like NO?..then we sorta concluded that perhaps he had like a "pay it forward" scheme he abide by, or it was his good deed of the day?]
Well, to the anonymous guy, thanks...sorry i didn't catch your name...and the possibility of meeting again, is really close to zero, since there are so many students and we don't study at the main block...but if we do meet again...i WILL ask your name =)
Such is the joy of being a woman/girl/XX species..i mean...how often do guys get free parking tickets?
**cheeky thought: i was going to ask him for more, and see whether it were still gonna be free (my initial intention was to buy a couple from him, to last the week, but after the 1 free ticket, i decided against it!)
