it's funny.

it's funny how working exposed me to more people, because all along, i've been doing tuition, and the people i meet are the kids and their parents.

giving out flyers for california fitness, though tiring and very exerting on one's mental and physical endurance, has exposed me to more people i've met in my entire 4 months or so of tuitioning.

and i feel happy and glad that i did accept the job.

i wouldn't have known so many people if not for this job.

people of all ages and all walks of life.

a few days could mean so much. even one day, a few hours, can actually make a few people come together and become friends. it's really heart warming. =)


today, i got to see the familiar novena people. some who recognised us and exchanged hellos and "hey! you're here again!" and "you're back!" and many more.

smiles.

grins.

jokes.

hahaha..then there were the sandwich boys. amusing really. crab-walk and crashing into things with their HUGE boards. cute to an extent. =D

shannon and shanker(uncle).

then there was the contracter jamile(i think this is how it is spelt), who is wise and friendly at the same time. conversation was relaxed, yet full of small advices from him to me. middle-aged guy, smiley, open-minded and all. very friend to friend. yet like a big brother to younger sister feeling.

yea, gonna heed his advice. and yes, WE SHALL MEET AGAIN.

it IS nice knowing him. our talk was good. in his words: "it's such a pity i didn't get to know you earlier.."

hahaha. it's funnier even how i realised that i label people instead of finding out their REAL names.

like how soccer guy=steven.

and sandwich guys=shannon and shanker.

and gay guy=dom.

and so many more names i never got the chance to ask.



how friendships and these warm fuzzy feelings of familiarity can be built up with a few sentences of concern and little jokes or jackings--even when we don't know each other's names.



maybe he's right. i might be too emotionally attached to people at times.

i just feel that somethings, use your heart to feel and understand, sincerity to getting to know someone is very important. whether you are sincere in your behaviour actually can be observed easily.

small actions. simple words. are actually impactful actions.




in short, i'm just glad. =)

it takes effort. and i don't mind putting it in.
but it takes mutual effort too.


i'm tired. another long day tml.
need rest.
think im getting gastric.
alcohol is pumping through my blood.
