Fate and faith

When the fate arrive, we didnt fight thru it.. Most of the time, we obey it..
We go thru with faith but still..
At the end.. we lost our faith on it..
And there's goes our hopes... Gone as well...

Kind old man

He is an old man.. but still strong in his physical. From his look, he probably aged ard 60+. Working hardly everyday from monday till saturday. He can be as fit as a young man. One thing to be proud.. he is earning each cents with his sweats and energy. Working everyday without any holidays. Even he has tonnes of annual leave but he didnt want to take it to spent holidays with his family every year. For a company to have this kind of worker who really work very hard for the company really rarely seen nowadays. But somehow his hard work only can be seen but was not really appreciated.

Everyday he work non-stop , the time he start to work, we might still have our dreams on our sweet bed. Every morning, straining KGs of coconut meat, KGs of juice he need to produce and KGs of pandan juice he need to produce on time. It does not seem as easy as seen and he is savings each cents he earn for the good of the grand daughter to have a better living. He is really like those poor old man we read or we heard about old man who really work hard and this kind old man really work till he lost his finger print. Every day he has difficulties in putting his finger print on the finger tec machine.

The first time i approach this old man.. trying to communicate with his prefer chinese language.. but the old man sort of hinting to me, i better talk to him with my usual language then struggling hard to talk his prefer language. Really feel embarassed.

My first impression on him, he is someone doesn't care much of what happening.. but know his responsibilities and make sure everyday he finished up what he need to do and thats it! But one thing about this old man, the way he work and the work he do.. we hardly find anyone that can replace what he does everyday. His outlook was everyday in a messy shirt and long pants which is wet and dirty and smell of coconut. We might have the feeling of he is dirty everyday.. and yes he is. But he has never care what people think about him or might stay away from him. He jus do the thing he think is correct and what he need to do.


But we can never underjudge his kindness, although he is someone never care what had happening. A fine day that i saw this old man climb in a big garbage bin which situated at garbage area for housing area type ( it mean those big type and deep though).He climb in there jus to help me to find out a particular small thing. He didnt hesitate at all when he found that me and my colleague hardly digging in the rubbish bin .. but trying his best to dig in and out of the garbage in the bin. Even though i give up of searching the thing i need, but he still insist of searching it. Although at the end, the three of us cant find the thing i need and i will get the blame from my superior.. but at that moment everything is not important.. I mean the blame, the scolding, the dirtiness and the smell.. but i get so touch with this old man.. and i feel so much guilt on me because of me, this old man need to climb in the garbage bin and dig the garbage out with us for nothing we can get. Under the hot sun for about half an hour he need to go thru all this just to help me.

Never know i will meet up this kind of old man in this kind of situation where you have never think of there will be anyone to raelly go thru that with you.

A simple thanks seem so little to say for so much!!!
