A Little Sunshine ^_^

I felt truly tired out at work even before lunch today. The only thing in my head as it was nearing time to go home was I should really get a good dose of ZzzzzZzzz.

Then while stuck in the superb traffic jam (forgot tomorrow is a public holiday in Penang)... I just stared up blankly to the sky.

Then something caught my eye.

It was a sweet little girl waving at me from inside of the car in front of mine. She looks about 4 or 5 years old and she was holding on to her baby bottle with plain water in it.

I waved back and smiled at her.

For a split second, the little girl seemed surprised and didn't seem to know how to respond to that.

Then she decided to wave again and smiled at me. I smiled back.

In that short moment, the tiny sparkle in her eyes told me that she was happy that I responded to her wave and that we shared a tiny secret moment.

Such a small thing that happened... but it made my otherwise long and wearisome day... a really good one.

P/s: Squeaky... if you are reading this *ahem* thanks for the extra pillow and snacks when I'm too tired to move myself to get lunch earlier today.

Blind Faith and Optimism

No matter how tough or wearying the journey be
Its knowing that getting to the destination
is something absolutely and definitely possible

I can see ever cheerful and colorful rainbows
at the end of the deepest and longest tunnel
and feel that all will be well sooner or later

I see the sun and daffodils ahead of me
and sprinkle pixie dust in the darkest hours
to see the sparkles light up the gloom

And glowing with the beam of a sunflower
Ever expecting for all that is meant to be
I accept in blind faith all that come my way

For with every twist and turn bringeth new
an experience that makes me whole in a whole new way
and along with it a new story for me to pen

Some Introspection

Recently, I've been told by 2 different people that they feel good after having talked to me when they are feeling kinda emo. Over a longer period of time, there have been others who have told me the same.

Apart from the friendly ear that I have to lend, is it the calm optimism that I share via my often simple but offbeat philosophies or analogies? Or something else? Some kind of X-factor?

Then on a separate note, I'm not sure if I still have that odd knack of finding people who are exactly the right kind of wrong for me... you know the sort that causes you to hurt yourself in some way or another eventually.

To elaborate on this, someone once told me that I have issues with actually wanting to be with another because I unconsciously latch on to people who are unattainable. If I was in USA, I'm sure someone would just say go to a shrink and find out what childhood issues is causing this and then break out of the pattern.

On yet another note, something about what Kalamari said... I am starting to believe that when you impart part of your positive energy unto the less positive or muddied... you could feel the drain... because all of a sudden... I do feel somewhat tired spiritually. Or I'm just feeling crappy because of being on Day #5 of having symptoms of the flu - the whole block nosed + dry cough shebang.

It's 1:10am now... I should sleep. Get a recharge. When I do wake up, it's going to be a long day of hosting some relatives in the house.
