today-
emotions was played with.
i totally loathe circling round this endless cycle.
anyhow, was supposed to report for ogl camp this morning at 730,
but lazy/sick me decided to give it a miss, going only tmr for the amazing race (:
today-
went around bugis/city hall with jie vic to run her errands,
then met bestie, mujia & jessica at bugis again.
left bestie with her mum, popped by Prints at citylink
before mrt-ing down to kembangan to aunty swee san and uncle chris' house.
i really didnt wanna go at first, cos firstly i wasnt hungry, & secondly, i was already quite tired.
but i still went because mum was quite angry.
unc chris & dad picked me from the station,
got off the car and to my surprise,
i kinda liked the design of the house although i didnt mention.
quiet was i, eavesdropping and not participating in much conversation
primarily because i was tired,
secondly is because they're funny and i'll just laugh along.
anyhow, yes i was obliged to play the piano,
and so i did, a couple of songs.
it was oh so flattering because the piano was in the dining hall,
& they all sat there, silenced, listening.
there, my fingers pranced around,
only to aggrandize my self-confidence
" she really makes the piano sing"i realize that, i really need such things to keep me going.
people, do realize that we should have words of encouragement on our lips,
because it'll never fail to cheer someone up, and that's what it exactly did to me! (:
although i hate it when people talk about my playing,
i only credit the praises to God.
cos really, how could i possibly do all these things?
i couldnt have memorized all the chords for all the songs,
i wouldnt have known how to play the guitar, bass and drums.
let alone the violin.
well although being pitch-perfect might be inherited,
the rest came from God.
i choose to believe that He did so to equip me for the crisis.
that kinda sums up my postprandial thoughts (:
feeling kinda somniferous now,
maybe it's the time of the night, 145am.
yet trying to dig out an epiphany.
having utilising the public transport so much more often these days,
i came to notice people and their actions. maybe i'd take up sociology.
just the other day, i was on the mrt back with colleague, ming choo.
just on that short transition to city hall, we met this teenager who was a lil abnormal.
he waved to me frantically to catch my attention, and he did.
he started smiling to me and then proceeded to talk to me about his vcds.
carefully, i smiled back at him and entertained his excitement.
just as he left, he smiled so widely, even standing outside the border as the train zoomed by just to wave goodbye.
i burst out laughing,
cos i didnt know how to react.
what appalled me was 2 things.
1. mingchoo's reaction to mine
2. that boy
1. my laughing remark got her to tell me not to laugh at such people.
mingchoo's really a good friend, i'd say.
little did i expect this coming from her,
"i thought i'd alight with you in case he follows you"
it really struck a chord in my heart at that moment.
touched, i was, really.
it was like uncovering treasure.
frantically digging, i finally feel the smoothened edges of the bar,
and when brought to light, shimmers to blind.
wowzah.
that definitely sent me off with footsteps that weighed a feather.
just a random fact-
i really admire people, those i see on trains/buses, who have books in their hands,
and are reading!
& i kinda hate couples. haha.
