I thought Id lost my book. Left it at the Mamak restaurant after feasting on Maggi Goreng a couple of weeks back in December. As luck would have it, I didn't realise it until a couple of days later. And the work started piling up, and the holidays were here. I was away. One thing led to another and it's been almost three weeks since I left my story book " The Inheritance" behind. ( I'd given up hoping that I would get the book back.) I went to have maggi goreng with no expectations this evening.
I had a lovely surprise. The man who served me said "buku buku". He took my order and then preceeded to rummage at the shelves behind the cashier. The rummaging went on for a bit. Two other helpers came to help. ( They main suggested loudly in tamil where it could be while the poor chap hunted for the book). After a good 10 minutes...he said the boss had taken the book back for safe- keeping and could I come by tomorrow he would have it for me. Isn't that SWEET? I promised I would be back Saturday to collect my book ...and to have another maggi goreng

yay! that's sweet of them.
yes!! Stuff like that make you smile for days just thinking about it. A good way to start 2010...by getting not just my book back...but faith in human nature.
