Bumcity and the old lady.

Last night i met an old lady at Midlands as i accompanied my boyfriend went there looking for a computer keyboard.
She reminded me the wonderful time i had when i was seventeen.
I worked as a part-timer since sixteen but that time had never been so fun and happy compare to the time i had at seventeen.
During the holiday after graduated from high school, I found a job at Bumcity Gurney Plaza.
There were vacancies for sales assistants/promoters. I've heard from my friend that they did not want to hire short term worker, so i lied (kind of normal situation for a student to get a job i guess), and I got the job.
Even though after 3 months I had to go for the National Service at Bukit Besar Kulim.
But,who cares?ha, I just wanted a job.
The first day at work, the manager showed me my work place, at that moment, I fell in love with my counter, perhaps, I could have called it love at first sight, as I had a big beautiful sea view right behind my counter and the whole scene would be MINE!
I could see the sunset every evening, I could see how the blue sky turned into the yellow-orangy sky and then turned into the dark mysterious night.
Besides, the counter and the storeroom space for my stocks were big, my job was to sell Bum's handbags, pouches, purses and shoes. And also doing all the paper works like calculating the total amount that earned everyday, doing account, etc. The most difficult one was doing the closing stock at the end of every month as I had never managed to balance the account. what a shame. =.="
so I have started my working life at Bumcity, went to work in the early morning 9.30am until 10pm at night with a low basic pay RM750 + overtime + commission.
I had a gorgeous lady supervisor who had had 2 kids but the figure still look great in shape.
I liked her very much, she was not only having a young face (she's already 30 something years old) and perfect body shape but also having a kind heart. With the good-heart she had, I believe she deserved a young and fabulous appearance.
I met a lot of nice people there other than my supervisor, one of them was the old lady who was selling "Kiam Sui Ti" (Chinese tit-bits & sweets), chocolates, and candies.
I always saw her eating alone at lunch/dinner time without mixing around, and may be, no one was willing to talk to her. Bumcity was a small city full of youngsters, we had rumours among the young boys and girls. And the aunties had their own group, as for old people, she might have to be alone.
She was the oldest among all. It was pitiful. I just couldn't see this pitiful thing happened in front of me. I was wondering if there was any possibility that she was the pathetic old witch who liked to curse all the time, that's why nobody talked to her?
curiosity would kill the cat...but anyway I'd decided to find out the answer. I tried my best to communicate with her. and then I know I was wrong, I shouldn't think that way,she's not a pathetic old witch but a VERY-kind-and-good hearted old lady who always possed a mild and benevolent smile on her face.
I was so happy that I got the chance to meet her in life. Since then, I ran away from my counter to her counter chatting with her whenever I got the chance to skip my duty.
I would never forget about her, be good to me like what my grandma used to be, and be so caring like my family.
I thought I wouldn't see her anymore after I left Bumcity and continue my journey of life.
Until last night I saw her again, after 5 years, she looked healthy, it was so great to see her still healthy like last time, otherwise every now and then when she came into my mind I would still worry about her.
Finally, I got where she lives, why not seize this opportunity (holiday) pay a visit to her place since I've promise her so?
Happiness is simple yet hard to get it in everyone's heart nowadays.
To all my friends,rather than spending time meaningless, why not doing something which is more meaningful in this holiday?
Find the meaning of your life! Did you visit your grandparents yet? or did you do one or more good thing(s) today?
Let's beautify the world with our love and care from now on.
