A Rare Helping Hand

After moving into my new place over a week now, I'm getting used to the environment. My room is rather small but cosy enough. Since I now spend my weekend at my sis place, so I don't need so much stuff at my place. There, I'll cook and relax after a week's work.

As usual, I came back from my sis place in the evening, I wanted to buy bottle water at the convenient store downstairs. At the same time I wanted to check if there's mail for me from my previous place. I took the keys and locked the bedroom. When I wanted to lock the main door, Alas! I realised I took the wrong keys. Luckily that the main door require keys to lock it so I cans till get into the house. I tried to open the door using the next room's key but to no avail. I decided to go to the convenient store for help.

I asked the young guy if he has contact of locksmith. Yes, was his reply. Unfortunately after he called the guard, I was told that I had to wait 15 minutes for the guard to arrive work on his shift and only he has the contact. However, the young guy said sometimes the door can be open with a cardboard or a card. I asked him if he could help me and was happy that he agreed. It's not easy to find someone willing to help nowadays. He followed me to my place and tried to open the door. After a few try, it will doesn't open. It seems that my bedroom door use a secure lock. At that momment, my heart was heavy because that means I had to fork out $80 - $100 for locksmith. Of course I know 50% of it goes to the guard.

The young guy was kind enough to try to find other solution. He asked if there's a window in my room and window in the next room. Yes, but I was worried. My concern was true. He wanted to climb out of one window to my room's window. Altough my apartment is located on the second floor but it's still dangerous. I told him I will wait for the locksmith but he wanted to help. In a matter of seconds, he step out of the 3rd room's window and onto the aircon and then he was in my room. My room door was opened. Finally. I don't have to spend a hefty for locksmith. I wanted to give him some tips as my token of appreciation but he declined. He said he did it to help and don't want to accept any tips. I was amazed that there are still such kind person in the metropolitan. GOD bless him.
