today i delicate this entry to one of the nicest person i have ever met in my life, and best of all.. he's a total stranger.. stunning eh? anyway, Mr Choo is his name and he's a comfort cab driver.. yeap, those blue money-eating public transport u see on the roads.. lol! it took placed yesterday when i took a cab back from lakeside after hanging out with the gang at west coast.. (took bus 30 from west coast to lakeside if u guys are wondering) so yeah the normal stuff, u get on the cab, tell him where u wanna go and u get there.. when the cab reached my place liao, i told him that i wanted to pay by nets.. however he pressed the cancel fare button by accident and i cant make the payment by nets.. i only had 6 bucks in my wallet at that time whereas the fare was $11.20.. so the following dialogue took place..

me: i only have $6 on me at the moment, y don't u drive me to the esso station behind and i withdraw some $$ to pay u? (esso station is a stone throw away)

Mr Choo: nono.. its okay.. $6 is fine.. its my mistake for pressing the wrong button..

(bewildered) me: huh? but u are earning a living over here and its less than half the fare.. okok.. if u trust me enough i go up to my hse get some $$ and come down to pay u..

Mr Choo: nonono its okay (waves hand).. its my mistake and i dun wanna cause u any inconvience because of it.. its not fair to u..

then he took the $6 and left..

that's not the whole conversation but its the juice of it.. lazy to write out everything.. cause i insist to pay him and he kept on refusing to trouble me.. at this current age and time, esp with the rising fuel cost, his actions baffled me.. i tout ppl like this don't exist anymore.. and yes, i feel like kicking myself for not taking down the car plate number.. my god.. >.< so there is it.. a wonderful encounter with a stranger.. Mr Choo is the man... WooOO!

7:40 PM...i walked away
