any title will do

sometimes... it's really the little things that count. someone who holds the door for you, a friendly greeting, the chicken rice guy who always always decorates extra cucumbers on my rice. might not mean a lot to the person who does it but i find that whenever someone does something nice for me, or i see someone doing it for other; it just makes my day a lil bit brighter. i might have just quarreled with my boyfriend, but to have a total stranger or a friend go just a little bit extra to do something for me is well, touching. no words can really describe it but i know we all feel it.


watching how my colleagues treat a rather elderly customer who just came in has really touched me. and brought back my faith in humankind. amidst all the stress and busyness, sadness and sicknesses; it's heartening to see that people still care to be nice. altruism may be surpressed by the fear of being manipulated by people, but i can see now that it's not dead, only dormant. we are capable of being better people. i know we are.


things have been a bit rocky lately. i rollercoaster up and down my mood swings every moment and generally haven't been really good company, angry sullen company maybe (haha). but who knew? one little gesture would motivate me to get out of the slump i find myself in and think of others for a change. to everyone who has touched my life one way or another, i really thank you. for without you people, i wouldn't be inspired to follow likewise.

the movies

had a movie outing last night with the girls. fun-est!
everyone who's ever been to the movies knows that the experience is so much more than just watching the movie. right? right? and people! there's just so much to see there. my usual cinematic experience encompasses

the talker- the one who talks throughtout the whole movie. omg i have sat beside a girl once who kept asking her bf a whole litany of silly obvious questions about the movie. girl, if you want to know why the hero is crying, then watch the movie like everyone else!

the director- the one who tells you the whole storyline while you're watching the movie itself.

the kicker- ooh don't you get soooo annoyed when the person behind you kicks your chair and goes on kicking and kicking and just won't stop? hello... this is not your home mister!

the one who texts while the show's on- enough said.

the pda couple- this i've never encountered but my bf told me about this couple who just couldn't keep their hands and lips to themselves. lol. get a room.

the one who spills popcorn all over the floor - that used to be me back when i was umm... clumsier *grins*

and yesterday, i added a few more to my observation book.

the hong kong foot - omgosh! can die k! especially if the guy sits just right behind you with his odourous kiam hoo feet just inches from your head. ugh! people with sneakers, please don't ever take your shoes off in small places with bad ventilation... he totally spoilt the movie for me.

the sleeper - cute people who stay awake long enough to see the start of the story, fall asleep during the climax and wake up just in time to see the credits. oh they even snore. hehe. see, aren't they just the cutest?


ok enough. goodbye.

to

the one who makes funny faces together with me

the one who knows my mood swings

the one who makes me laugh and cry

the one i lean on for support

the one, my sparring partner,

my cushy pillow

the one who is my best friend and my gossip buddy

the one whom i'm going to miss terribly when we're miles and hours apart.

from the one who exasperates you frequently

the one who nags you to eat healthily and tighten your seat belt

the one who makes you drive almost all the time

the one, your movie-going buddy,

your ever-willing listener

the one who likes late night phone calls from you

the one who wants to let you know that she loves you.
