what a good memory

perhaps it is true that when a person lost one of his sense, he tend to have other senses that are more receptive & sensitive.
just like how a person who can't see can hear 'more'

yesterday
I walked a visually impaired man from the bandar tun razak LRT station to his block of flats opposite bandar tun razak community centre.
since me heading that direction too to car, so me think why not?

me knew he lives on block B but me still asked him where's he heading to.
Actually this is the 2nd time me met him. The 1st time was like few weeks back.

as we walked together, me asked him about his job, about his daily travel, about his eyes condition and how he became visually impaired..etc
while he asked me about the traffic condition in KL, the development around town, the increase in petrol prices..

he then asked me
"suara cik saya macam pernah dengar. cik pernah bantu saya jalan sebelum ini dekat sini juga kan? "
what moved me was he can still remember I told him I work at Jln Raja Laut, KL
at that moment, me feel 'gam zhuk'
the feeling is like "me may not have done many great things, but he made me feel at least I had done something meaningful. something so small and yet it meant something so great.

When we reached the stairway up to block B,
he said "kalau lain kali, cik nampak saya, kalau tak susah boleh cik teman saya jalan? kalau saya jalan seorang, sunyi"

while walking to car, me thinking
boleh..sure boleh
what's this compare to a person who cannot see but remember your voice and where you work when all you did was walked him home once

but the problem is
I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT'S HIS NAME
