I went to JB to open a bank account yesterday. I have to drive around the whole complex to find the entrance to the carpark. The carpark was packed and I have to wind my way down 3 floors before finding a space. All the while I curse the bad design and bad maintainence of the building. <\/p>\n
Then I got to the shopping center and have to ask 3 people for direction before I found the bank. I thought the people I met were quite stupid and cannot give proper directions. <\/p>\n
I approached the bank reception and was told to get a queue ticket. On the ticket dispensor was this security guard who just gave me a ticket already printed by him. I told myself ‘Mana ada system’. I cannot see any electronic display board to tell me when is my turn and where to go. What a useless bank. I ask a tudong clad lady behind the first dask and she pointed to where I should wait. In front of me with the bank officer was this about 80 year old Chinese Singaporean man. He had his pink I\/C on the desk. It looks like this elderly man have difficult understand and deciding what he want but the Malay lady officer had her graceful smile all the time and patiently repeat her instructions. It went on for about 20 minutes. I was impatient.<\/p>\n
Just then a very sweet young Malay girl with her colourful tudong stood up from next to me and invite me with her sweetest smile to have her seat. I did not notice her before.<\/p>\n
It then dawn on me, what had become of me. I have become a grumpy old man, full of myself and with a mistaken superior attitude. I was blind to the patient, gracious people I was with but cannot see them. I recall everyone I ask for direction and met, including the security guard, had a friendly smile for me while I harbour disdain for them.<\/p>\n
I have learnt a lesson form the little Malay girl with her bright colour Tudong. <\/p>\n
