Good Samaritan

When we reached the Dream Mall, we immediately proceeded to look for Sony. It was a sheer luck as this Sony section was just near the entrance.



Quickly we looked out for a salesperson. We approached this particular guy. He seemed very concerned and kind when he learned of our misfortune.



He immediately got hold of a new Sony camera charger and opened it to see if it fitted my battery. Gosh! It fitted.

As we were only allowed a mere 35 minutes at this mall, I had to make do.

So while waiting for my battery to be charged, we went window-shopping. When the time came, we went to collect my battery and expected him to say a price.

Surprisingly, he said, "It's free! No problem". I felt that my world was saved and this good samaritan had made my utmost mission accomplished.

Thanking him, we quickly got out of the mall as our bus would be waiting for us anytime.

Regrettably, I did not even ask for his name. Well, should he ever come across this post, I would like to say a very warm 'Thank You' to him again.

Well, what was the cause for this concern of mine???

See if you can guess it correctly!

    Wai Keong, u got it! When I changed the luggage, I forgot to transfer my camera charger to the other luggage. Couldn't get a new charger at the airport. Also members of the group had different kind of camera. I was left with minimal battery and luckily i brought the spare charger to be charged by this good guy. It was a blessing. Otherwise my pictures of Taiwan just stopped there!

Twin bananas

Image
Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
