What a novel gift!

I visited my usual haunt (aka Midvalley Megamall) last Friday for dinner. After some “memborong” sessions, we decided it was enough for the day (aka running out of money). Just as I was about to pay for parking, a young man came up to me and offered to pay my parking (aka RM1 only-lah). But there’s a catch. I need to answer some questionnaires based on the Mall and its tenants.

It was a straight yes and no answer (aka not using any brain power). In my humble opinion, I’ve aced the questionnaires (what?). But what comes next is a bit surprise, even for me.

Pokok apa lak nih?

For answering the questionnaires, the man (representing Midvalley Megamall) validated my parking ticket, gave me a bottle of mineral water, and a plant in a bottle (as per the photo above)! For those who wants to know, the plant is known scientifically as Aquilaria Malaccensis (or simply known as Pokok Karas or Geharu). It was placed in a bottle, tied up on the top with some see-thru cloth (for the plant to breathe), and some water-based jelly for food.

I think it’s quite novel for Midvalley to give the plant away, even for answering some questions. It beats giving out non-destructive shopping bags or even some discount coupons that you can’t use.
