On the day me and Jacqueline go to Thailand, we had to transit from KL to Thailand because there's no direct flight from Kuching to Thailand. So while waiting, we went to Starbucks for drink. I wanted to claim my complimentary piece of cake from Starbucks. So there we go. I was shocked when I saw Bobostephanie there. She's a blogger! Do follow her on Instagram and read her blog! I took a picture with her! So happy! But that's not my point of this post. Lol.
We sat there waiting for the time to pass. When suddenly, two guys and a teenage girl came in. Apparently, the two of us sat in the middle with a few tables and chairs around us. So we let them have the tables and chairs. We don't need so many chairs and tables anyway. They thanked us and we smiled. Apparently, a guy and the teenage missed their flight to somewhere. And his friend was trying to help them to book another new flight. As his friend was trying to book the flight, me and Jacqueline were talking. Then, the guy was asking whether my line is good. I was like 'yeap, it was good. :)'
He has difficulty in booking their flights due to poor signal. And then, the guy was like 'can you lend me your phone so that I can help my friends to book their flight?'. I'm like 'okay, sure'. I mean why not right? But at the same time, I was reluctant to lend him my phone.
First of all, there are a lot of cases where people fraud people. There are so many cons out there. Second of all, who is he? Lol. I don't even know him. He's a stranger to me and I'm a stranger to him. But, it's very hard for me to say no. How to say no to that guy? I don't know what else to do but to lend him. Jacq was telling me to be careful. I was like okay, I will.
There he goes, booking the tickets of the friends. The guy who missed the flight was telling us that he worked for the United Nations. And he's very happy that our generations are still very helpful and willing to help strangers. He also said that I should be proud of myself for being so helpful. He thanked me for helping him by lending him the phone, thanked my parents and teachers because they taught us that we should help others when they need our help.
After booking their flight, his friend screenshot the images of the evidence of the booking flight and asked if he could send them to his email. I was like okay. So now he has my email address. I was kinda scared at first, but it was okay. The guy who worked for the United Nations even gave me his name, number and email address. He is really grateful that I helped him. I'm happy that I'm able to help him too.
A few days later, the guy who used my phone emailed me thanking me for lending him my phone so that he could book his friends flight. And even gave me his number.
So that's my story. Do you guys think he's a fraud? I believe that he's not. But on the contrary, I have thoughts too. Is he a fraud? But it's very unlikely that he's one because he gave me his name, number and email address. I don't know. I'm in dilemma. Nonetheless, I'm happy that I helped him. I'm proud of myself for helping others when they need my help. There's never once a person told me to be proud of myself for helping others. And this is the first time, the guy who missed his flight told me that I should be proud of myself for helping him. And I'm very happy to hear that from him. And yes, I'm proud of myself for helping him. It means a lot to me that I've helped others. It might not mean anything to you, but it means something to me. Me helping them might be just a small favour, but it's still something that is worth being proud of.
People, if you think I did the right thing, do comment. If you think I did the wrong thing by lending him my phone, do comment. What are your thoughts?
Xoxo.
