" I just need help " she said

I'm more careful with strangers nowadays .... thanks to advice from friends & past experiences

However, today during lunch ... I think I was a bit 'too careful' ...
I was walking towards Mydin Sinar Kota, was walking quite fast as rushing for time,
when an old lady carrying a huge plastin nylon bag came rushing towards me.
Left hand carrying the nylon bag, she used her right hand to wave (signalling me to stop).
Me did stopped on reflects.
old lady : siao jie, siao jie ... dang ha dang ha (ms. ... wait a while)
The funny thing is that while she's talking, she tried to catch hold of my hand woh.
on reflects again, I moved my hand away ... to avoid.
on seeing this
old lady : siao jie ... lei mo gang, ngor mm hai wai yan. ngor shui yui lei bong mong jieh. mun ha lei yeh jieh (ms. don't be afraid, I'm not bad people. I just need your help. Ask you something only) she assured me.

Looking at her was all I managed to do. She looked back.
old lady : ho yi tong ngor gong, heung bin do dap che fan Sentul mo? (can tell me where to take bus back to Sentul)
me : aunty ah, ngor mm zhi do woh (aunty, I don't know woh) ... I really don't know
old lady : lei mo geng ngor, ngor mm hai ngak yan wai yan (please don't be afraid of me, I'm no cheater). KL bus cham heung bin do? (where's KL bus station)
me : KL bus cham yao gei goh. yi do, goh do, goh do yao (pointing to all the bus station directions) lei dap meh che? gei doh hou ga? ( what bus do you take? what number? )
old lady : No. 2
me : which type of bus ah? red colour? white colour or like that (pointing to metro bus)
old lady : I think is like this bus (pointing to metro bus) aiya..how to go back leh?

me really don't know where to take bus to Sentul, also don't know what bus & what number.
but me think me can't leave the po-po there like that
so I tried to 2 malay girls that pass-by ... but they don't know also
however, we were fortunate as I saw a metro bus driver coming down of the bus

I went and asked ... selamba only
the driver gave direction to old lady, I translated ... just in case she missed something.
Even before she left, she kept on assuring me that she doesn't mean to 'scare' me nor is she a 'cheater'

Haha ... in retrospect, perhaps it was my 'over-reaction' of pulling my hand away when she try to grab it that made her assured me non-stop that she meant no harm.
perhaps the old po-po was quite lost and needed some 'assurance' gua or scare me run away don't want help her.
When me think back what happened, I couldn't help smiling to myself. me looked a bit silly =D
