Press PLAY for a smile

Press PLAY for a smile

And you never realise how things are disappearing at a rate faster than your mind can process it.

Tomorrow i will need to do a presentation about my family during my bahasa tutorial. I was told to bring a family photo but i thought that i dont have one. Our family dont take a lot of photos haha so just when i was flipping through the album and i saw this. This should be the most recent family photo i tink. We only get together as one whole family during Chinese New Year. Other then that we are just preoccupied with our own mundane lifestyle. To my left is my younger brother, mum, dad and me. Centre is my grandmother haha i only get to see her once every year. She stays in Tampines that is so far from my home. Yah excuses, i miss her but that doesnt mean that i got to use my actions to prove it. I dont need other people to question about my sincerity so fuck off with your "so unfilial lor" comments and such. And dont even think about that question much less saying it out. I like to pre-emp situations and yah i tink too much. But did the slightest thought cross through your mind when you read what i was writing? Just skip it. I am being hyper sensitive now.

I was on my way back from tuition on saturday when i met my neighbour on the bus. The conversation ended in a very crazy anti-climatic manner. Here was how it went:

Me: Hello.

Neighbour: Hello. Where did you go today?

Me: Oh i just finished teaching tuition.

Neighbour: Then have your eaten dinner?

Me: Not yet, going back to eat now.

Neighbour: So where did you go?

Me: (duh didnt i just answer that) I went to teach tuition (faking a smile argh)

Neighbour: Do you have 2 dollars with you?

Me: (what the hell, smiling) Oh sorry nope, i dont bring money with me when i teach tuition (obviously lying duh)

Neighbour: Oh no money ah. Not even 2 dollars?

Me: Yah. (i wont lend you even if i have lol. Obviously acting ignorant lol)

Borrowing money from me is a taboo. Hello, i even grumble at my parents when they borrow money from me. I will give the "bu shuang look enduring with a smile" if i were to lend my friends, and i will DEFINITELY not lend money to perfect strangers (i consider neighbours as strangers). So you should know how i would behave when students come to me holding their tin can during flagday with the pitiful face saying "pls donate pretty pls". Wait long long ah for charity, whose gonna donate to me zzz. Yup i know i am a horrible person when it comes to money issue, horrible sounds too nice to be use on me. You should use "god-forsaken" or "disgust to the core" or "absolute hideous" or "beyond redemption". Just count charity organisations their own luck for meeting the kind of people like me when it comes to charity issues. I can do something else though haha, besides forking out money =)

Play a smile. I cant seems to find the bloody OFF button. Can someone kill the switch for me?

You smile to someone whom you like most.

even to the person whom you detest most.

Because you learn that a smile a day can make a person's day.

You are stuck in this play

with the person you like most,

together with those you dislike.

But you cant say that you dislike them

Because that wont be the way to make your day.

And you can only pray hard that someday,

those people.........

will just.........

go away.

Too used to playing this game, why should i stop when everyone else seems to be enjoying it.
