Yesterday I went to Genting Highlands as invited by Wen Siew. Had an awesome moment at the peak of the highlands using the facilities. I must say, before that, it could be really amusing, but now the facilities are deteriorating and maintenance has just been a burden to the company who owns it. Despite such fact, crowds are still storming through the entrance of the theme park. To experience 20 or less seconds of falling down from a really high place, which was rather amusing and exciting, you have to sacrifice your 1 hour time just to line up during the peak hour. Tried the Corkscrew which is the roller coaster in the theme park, and whole lots of stuff as well.
Then when we were heading back, there was no bus, so we were left with the only option that was to take the taxi. And suddenly, there was this guy, saying that he had also missed the bus and would offer his 'assistance' of accompanying us back. We went up, looked for a taxi which cost us Rm90.00(they said it's like this when you're going back late). So we agreed and took off. We reached KL Sentral and asked for payment, the guy said: 'I'm sorry, I had no money, as a token of helping and "assisting" you all, please pay for my part too'. We were really pissed off not only on the fact that he's cheated us but also the fact that he's an old man, maybe around 40 who's trying to dig a couple of bucks out of the younger kids. Such a shame on how these people would turn out to be, at first, helpful and kind and then unbelievably changes the personality. Jekyll and Hyde. He said he lost all his money in the casino. He said he's left with the money to just go back to his house.
But if I were to put myself in his shoes, what would I have done if I hadn't had any money left to go back. If I were to lost all the money in the casino, and saw a bunch of innocent looking kids, would I approach them like what he did? Would I be willing to sacrifice my own dignity and integrity just to get a free ride home? What would I do? And what would you do?
