I was able [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] to save more than two hundred dollars in my recent travel to Kuala Lumpur from the Philippines. Instead of boarding up for the week in a cheap hotel, I discovered the week prior to my leave that an old friend had migrated and taken an expatriate status in the Bangsar area of Kuala Lumpur, one of the better-looking districts of Malaysia's capital. We weren't really close to go out of our ways to see one another outside work but we were close enough to share a few rounds of alcohol.
So she told me to give her a ring when I arrived in Malaysia. From the Philippines [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] I took a flight to Singapore for a conference and took the bus to Kuala Lumpur, a good five hour drive down the long highway connecting Singapore to KL. She had offered me her place [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] to stay for the week long vacation I decided to take this opportunity to extend my escape from the Philippines, as I still fondly remember. As it turns out she would be leaving (for Singapore, also for a conference) and really didn't entrusting her [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] place to me for the time being. I [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] would jokingly call myself "her kept man." This was probably the kindest [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] gesture someone ever did for me and there I was, in one of the nicest condominiums in KL for an entire week.
And it took days for me [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] to figure out what to give her in return. You see the catch was that my flight to [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] the Philippines and her flight back didn't coincide. I would be left leaving an empty condominium, dropping the key into the drop box in the administrator's office for her to pick up a day after I [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] left.
I usually spent afternoons in the coffee shop a [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] good five minutes [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] away from the condo and right beside it a grocery store where I'd get my cereals for the day and wine for the night. Part of my "returning home gift" for her included me restocking her pantry with cereals, cheese, bread and a bottle of house wine. But there was still something missing. Looking around the furnished condo I knew I was missing that special touch. And then it dawned on me as I glanced at the counter near the television. I ran back to the grocer and picked up a fresh batch of assorted flowers. Back in the condo, I emptied the vase of old water with withered flowers and replaced them. Good as new, her [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] place now had that special touch.
Days later she leaves me a message on the computer saying she was very thankful [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] for the pantry gesture - and especially gleeful about the floral arrangement in the living room. It's a great feeling to know that you can make someone so happy even when you are so far away. Since she moved in, this [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] was the first time that vase's contents were replaced.
