No one person's life is completely pretty n rosy, unless u r “tak siuman”.  There will always be a part of life that is dark and gloomy.  And if it is beyond your means or right to effect change, then perhaps the best way is to live with it the best you can.  Take it easy (look who's talkin, haha!)

Like everyone else, I am no exception.  But instead of crying over why half the cup is empty, I choose to laugh over how full half the cup is.  It isn’t too difficult to think this way when u have people around u who put smiles on ur face every day.  I really want to say Thank you, thank you, thank you.  Muaks!  ;)

And here, just to share an experience that happened today (not really related to above):

It's Mike's birthday today, and his simple wish's to have a KFC drumstick n mashed potatoes. So at 8.30pm we were at Queensbay Mall KFC for dinner. 

After makan (eating), me n Mike were at the wash area to wash our hands.  There were 2 basins, 1 of which was lower - meant for kids.  We were q-ing and got the taller basin, but then this young guy beside me smiled and let us switch places.  He looked no more than 18 or 19.  Cute like Daniel, our Msian Idol.  Before he left the basin, somemore turn to wish me Happy New Year - with a really wholesome smile.  I was like "wah, such a fine young fellow! i wanna speak with his mom (learn how to teach my son to b like that mar!)". 

I mean - these days, u don't see many people like this anymore.  There are times when I greet ppl with a smile and they pretend din see.  So kurang ajar! (bad manners!)

And later, when I was searching for T and the kids, I met Ky and Sujatha at the escalator goin up to ground flr.  2 very pleasant and lovely young ladies and we chatted a while.  A great evening indeed!  :)
