Are you in the year 2008 ???

Hmmmm how could we ever be sure of ourselves that we are actually in the year 2008...?!?!?!?

1. You might be mistakenly typing in the password on your microwave oven.

2. It might have been quite a long time that you hadn't used the real cards to play cards.

3. You are having more than 5 phone numbers to contact 3 of your family members.

4. You might be smsing the person next to you when you need to talk to him.

5. You have lost touch with some of your friends and relatives because they don't use Internet.

6. Once you park your car, you might be calling (on phone) the person inside the house to help carry your items bought.

7. Whichever adverds on TV come together with their web address for us to look into.

8. You will be shocked to know that you actually forgot to bring your phone (that you had never had in your life ten or twenty years ago ) then you might be rushing back home in order for it to be with you asap.

10. Once you wake up in the morning, you will be online before making yourself a hot cup of coffee.

11. At this point, you might actually be smiling at the above sentences.

12. You will read this then you will be nodding in agreement with me that you are smiling now.
13. The worst part is you might be thinking of which friends to send to about all these crap.

14. You are also too busy that you hadn't even noticed there is no number 9 here, it's missing out.

15. Gotcha..... you will be reassuring yourself whether or not the number 9 is really there by tracing back the lines above.

See??? Told you that we are actually in the year 2008..... :P :P :P

Everlasting Remedy

If I am asked to pick one gift out of the lots from God above , I would, without any hesitance, pick "smile"! It is so far the best weapon to break barriers and as a baseline comment, it really makes your day meaningful and beautiful without taxing any cost of whatsoever.

Talking about cost-effectiveness, since it incurs nothing we can always exchange smiles easily with the people you know or those whom you frequently meet for example your neighbors, or anyone you may see frequently on the way to your work, school and so on.

For me, I even love to smile at my doggies when I was back home and they do smile back at me seriously which I love the most and it is just a thing that should be developed from within.... in the end it makes you feel good and you don't lose a thing... so in that case, smile not only transmits through humans... it can come from anywhere at all... it's the way you perceive things... remember that.

"Twinkle twinkle little star

how I wonder what you are

Up above the world so high

Like a diamond in the sky"

I am just wondering sometimes that even if you look at the sky on one of the starlit nights from your window, I always feel that I could almost reach out and touch them everytime I look at them , and it's as if they are always smiling back at me... (Song: What a Feeeeeelliiiin!!!!)

I'll give you a quick sneak peek into fun-fill smiling moments during my current daily routine.... I would call them "perfect moments".

First thing first, I would be smiling lightheartedly when I am not grumpy when getting up at all in one of the school mornings to get prepared for class... that usually happens when I have enough sleep the night before.

I would normally greet my housemates, if I meet them in the kitchen while making myself a hot cup of chocolate.

Me: "Oh hey, good morning!"

Housemate: "Morning Herald..."

I would exchange smile with anybody I meet inside the lift to break the awkwardness when you are inside one stupid lift of which you don't know which level it will take you first even though you pressed groundfloor or whichever floor you really want!!! (Sigh... get used to it...)

Along the way I would meet some of the seniors to talk to:

Me: "Hey Eli, how are you today?"

Eli: "I'm good, thanks... What classes are you guys having today?"

Me: "Errmmm... OB with Ms Mary, Housekeeping with Ms Mary.... " (clear throat)

(Exchange a meaningful smile) "What about you?"

Eli: "E-comm"

Me: "Ohh okay! I'm pretty much sure it's not a joke this sem, good luck with that and c ya!"

Me: "Good morning, Ms Merry... you look so sexy today... hehehehe!" (Running away from her)

Ms Merry: "When am I not sexy? I am sexy everyday..." (Giving me this funny and smiling look)

In a minute, I'd be at the classroom door which I would always peek into the classroom first before entering and if I find the lecturer before me, I would be like "Dang, she's early!"

There are always these bunch of smiling faces that would greet me in different kinds of styles....

It can be from "Yozzz... what's up dude?" to a simple "Hey"..... But out of the lot, there are some phenomenal greetings that I always receive every morning...

Fairuz: "Good Morning Herald.."

Me: "Tell me what's so "GOOD" about the morning?"

I'm always mean to that booby guy... but yeah so long we all have fun... then I would give a sarcastic smile after replying that.

**** THUUUDDDDDD****

Me: "Ouch!"

**** Bang ****

Soya: "Ahhh hah hah" (He also gets hurt in return by hitting me first)

Then we would always exchange that mischivous smile at each other. And some days, I remember to poke Ming Ming's cheek then see her feel (positively) so irritated by it.. and will give me back that (funny-revengeful) smile to me... hehehee if I manage to poke her first, I score that day... if she does, she scores...

Then there will be alot more buddies who would put out his tongue to me, who would wink at me, who would act cute to me and oh man, all sorts of greetings that one can ever get greeted with.... I always love to give back the same funny greetings to each and everyone then only I get settled in my chair...

Well yeah like I said, it's just the start of my day, so much so that I have chance to smile and laugh alot thanks to everybody around me and also to me being around them in return... I am always in that great give-and-take situation every school day... I just wonder sometimes... that those things are actually the daily vitamins for me to go forward, or before I go into somewhat a different war zone everyday where you can't be sure of when you will get shot from which point... But in the end... let all these smiling moments overpower your daily battles then everything will be alright. ~Peace Out~ **Lots of Smile**
