COLOUR UP MY LIFE.}

hand in hand we go

boohoo...

am still going to the lib everyday to study with ms soh.

how boring can life get?? i've not step foot into anywhere else other than Jurong East and Bukit Batok since a week ago.

today's trip to the lib was EXTRAORDINARY, HEARTWARMING and touching, and it made my day, and making life worth living. hahaa.

its too long a story to tell here, but i met a young 12 or 13 year old girl in the lib today, she was not pretty, not even average, almost ugly (i am sorry, but i was taken aback/scared for a moment when i took a closer look at her) and has a limp when she walks because one of her leg is longer than the other.

however, beneath that exterior, she is quite an angel, definitely the sweetest person i've ever met so far. she is soft spoken, gentle, smiley, patient and extremely hardworking.

wont tell you what happened because i needa get back to studying soon. but i can only say she touched me heart today and made me realise that true beauty does comes from within. cliché but extremely true.

beauty is definitely more than just a pretty flawless face, hot bod, big eyes, sharp nose, straight teeth, long lashes and shampoo-advert worthy hair etc etc.

the girl i met today had none of those, but she had what many people did not have. pureness, patience, kindness, a giving heart and knowing how to be thankful.

the little care i showed her today was uncomparable to what she showed me today. i merely asked her if she wanted to have dinner with me and shihui because we overheard her bro saying that she hasnt had lunch and on top of that, her heck care mom left her in the lib when she requested to. no objections no nothing, just left her like that. she rejected my offer very sweetly and politely and you know what she did? she left me a mentos sweet on my table when me and shihui left for dinner.

it was a simple act of gratitude, something this world lacks. it was a simple act that made my day. i was so touched you know.
