A lovely smile is what you need...

today, i felt like going back all the way to infantry training again. walked and walked and walked... actually its not that serious, i just exaggerated. i had breakfast with my sis this morning. well.... she decided to bring her laptop along, so i effectively became her porter for the morning. and she's going to ntu too, ha... how convenient... so i was trudging around with her heavy laptop(there were additional weights inside...) but i'm kinda used to it so it wasnt that bad. but somehow she had to buy something for someone so we took longer then usual. so was walking around.... and my left shoulder still ache now... inbalanced load. not good.
well... we got onto a 179 heading to school eventually. in the process i made a pretty amusing decision. i told myself, since been walking so much, might as well walk somemore. as i was heading to the annex, i decided to alight at hall 2. i knew that slope leads straight up, just that its kinda long. but i just walked up.... boy was i perspiring when i reached the top. the pple at the SAO must be thinking this fella is so desperate for their signature... ran all the way here. well, actually i perspire pretty easily. what do they call that, high metabolic rate? that sounds nice, maybe a more layman term call weak is more appropriate. well... i got my signature, then was heading down to canteen B to meet hanren for lunch. time to claim my free YDH. so i was walking towards the stairways leading to s4. then i saw a stairways leading down to s3 too. i thought since s3 is nearer, i should go there. so decided to take that path, and my first time too. got down there, the door is locked..... so today had to walk more, again.... the stair leads all the way down to the heritage centre... so went down and came up again towards canteen B. meet hanren, had our lunch. talked a bit to him about that marriage issue. he also found it hard to believe. but well... its her decision. so if you think you've seen weird decisions, there are weirder ones out there... but he told me oso... sometimes pple dun end up with the pple they love the most. and find someone who loves u more then u love him/her. well...well... anyway.... he had to go for a lesson so we went our separate ways... i bought some fruits, wanted to give to angeline, because she said she's sick (initially wanted to borrow some tutorials from her, but well... they are not available yet...) so i got some honeydew and kiwi, and headed towards hall7. saw mona, and she flashed her beautiful smile yet again. pretty... always brightens up my day when i see her smile. but no time for chitchat, so quickly went down the slope towards angel's room. got there, saw her slippers, ha... thought she's inside. can give her a lil surprise ah.... well... she told me to give her some time alone in her room. *knock knock*..... *silence*..... *knock knock*..... *silence*..... out came the marvel called handphone! *allo.... huh? u at tutorial room ah?!* ai...... zo lang kiang jui ho, mai ge kiang.... so my ge kiang-ness made me walk a bit more. no doubts, definitely a ji ba hun 100% gong kia. Prof Oei will agree with me on that. so i proceed up to tutorial room 96 to give her the fruits, which by then had become warm already. its really blistering today, yet again.... and yes, u've got it, i was like a walking waterfall again. first person i saw was angeline listening to radio, then minli and dunlin. i knocked and stick my head in. dunlin was kinda surprised at a sudden intrusion of a black face, minli must b just sick of seeing me again. probably reminds her of algorithm or something. yucks..... sorry..... i don't know whats that either... rite howard? ALGORITHM.... angel was still sitting there not knowing of the arrival of the free-flowing perspiring gong kia, until minli called her. ha.... she is a cute sight. her nose slightly red, made her look sweeter. passed her the fruits, had a short short chat. told her to rest more, which i know she won't listen to. and yes, a trademark lovely smile from her... that's what all the walking is worth. and off i went to lib 2 to try to find a textbook. saw daozheng scribbling some stuff... matlab stuff.... yikes.... he looks stressed out.... hahaha.... ya, its matlab for goodness sake! i know nuts about it... then i saw miss AI who's just beginning to slaughter her chicken chop... it looks pretty nice, but she told me after it was pretty bad.... oh.... anyway.... i reached my lib 2... and hell... the books not available.... ai.... and last of all.... got onto 199 and went home....

but the smile is enough to cover the 'expenses'. its amazing how a smile can brighten up a person's day. especially those from little kids and babies... the real, innocent smiles...

i'm beginning to grow old already... but i hope that smile of a child will always stay somewhere in me, always....
