A little kindness goes a long way..

Early this morning..i happen to be running some errands in the post office. My, was the post office crowded..and it was just 8.30am! i took the number and...gasps* 1034 - currently...1002. =P 32 more to go? was thinking bout time wasted since i didnt bring a book to kill time..:P

Jelutong post office has dis busy morning market right outside the junction, where chirpy market-goers and friendly stall owners gather each morning. so i decided to go for a stroll. It's so good to watch ppl being so affable early in the morning. =) jus makes you wanna burst with joy..:D

Upon my return to the post office 20 mins later..to my horror, the number then was 1036! so, i approached a lady behind d counter if i cud take d next turn since i missed mine by jus 2 turns. she insisted dat i get another number & queue up again. :P

Reluctant to give in, i approached another counter where this young-looking officer was seated, whom i have approached earlier regarding the procedures. I pleaded for him to look into the matter. Without saying a word..he took the documents, settled everything for me in 5 mins.

Overjoyed was an understatement.

Why such fuss over this bit of kindness?

Haha...maybe i havent been receiving much these days.

First of all, it was my fault that i was back late in the post office. There is absolutely no reason why i should be shown mercy as there were 50-odd ppl queueing up for their turn.

Secondly, he risked being scorned at by his superiors - that lady, whose expression clearly showed disapproval, of his help.

Praise God for such wonderful ppl who made my day.

A little kindness goes a long way. =)

God bless..:)
