The World is Safe to Explore..

Once again..
The world proves to me that it is a safe place for me to explore..

10.15AM
Started a day with the worst thing that could have happened
especially when there were some serious work needed to be done..
I overslept!!
2 hours behind my schedule..
I stumbled over the mess in my room
to get myself and everything else ready..
Having less fear than my first attempt on trying out new route..
I was actually a little bit thrilled
by the adventurous feeling of performing a journey in uncertainties..
Put on my sport shoes and my backpack..
I reassured myself with a single belief..
"The world is a safe place for me to explore"..

11.00AM
The sky was overcast..
My heart was in fits and starts..
As if there were clouds skimming over it..
Causing it to be in a sudden bright and a sudden dark the next second..
This time I had nobody to guide me..
But simply relied on a direction
provided by a telecommuter from Rapid KL..
I was taking risk..

11.50AM
Central Market's bus station was loaded with a lot of buses..
I had to search one by one until I got B115 in sight..
While boarding the bus..
I was greeted by an Indian bus driver with a polite smile..
We began quite a pleasant conversation
as I tried to get a reaffirmation from him
to make sure that I didn't eventually get on the wrong bus..
From food to hometown we were talking about throughout the bus ride..
After all it was just two of us
and another guy who was rushing for prayers in the whole bus..
Building up a friendly relationship with the bus driver..
I am pretty sure that he will drop me right at the place I needed to be..

12.25PM
Like what I have expected..
I got down of the bus right in front of the Inland Revenue building..
Then only I realized I was too late!!
It's prayer break!!
With little hope that the department might still be operating..
I knew I was wrong when I came face to face with
the staff who were all standing in front of me once the lift door opened..
Showing them an embarrassing smile
I scolded myself for screwing up the day..
Another two and a half hours of waiting
could probably drain me upside down..
May be my face looked pity enough that moment..
Out of the blue..
A Chinese lady volunteered herself to finish my application before lunch..
Mission accomplished again!!

12.40PM
Knowing that it's almost impossible to catch a bus during prayer's hours..
I went hunting for food just to kill the time..
There's this huge food corner right in front of Inland Revenue..
Hustle and bustle at lunch hour..
Suddenly I felt belittled in such a big crowd..
I am just another Nobody for the world..

1.30PM
My stomach was filled with food..
However it's still too long for the next bus to reach..
Having no choice..
I could only hope that by miracle a bus would turn up..
Then there were this two Malay girls..
Out of boredom I started chatting with them
and came to realize that we had the same destination..
Agreed to take a cab and split the fare..
we were soon on a taxi to Central Market..
Consider myself lucky enough for getting
2 other people to share the fare with me..
Something better happened..
They refused to take my share even though I insisted to pay..
I couldn't believe my luck..
I just got a free ride out of nowhere..

2.00PM
With a heart full of appreciation to the creator
for sending angels around me when I only have myself to rely on..
For the second time I concluded that
the world is safe for me to explore..
And this time I am more convinced..

Post Script:
A million of "Thank You" to those strangers I met..
Even though we do not know each other
but your existence at that particular moment had enriched my life..

Peace and fulfilment of humankind's potential..=)
