Got smile meh?

Smile Dammit

When you collect 4 million smiles for the visiting IMF, I suppose it is inevitable that some less than perfect smiles, or non-smiles, slip through.

    it’s probably the ‘inward’ smile; synonymous with how we’re ‘brought’ up: reserved, “conservative” - see any ploblem, shut up and mind your own business. *snort*

    Even when you smile, there are so many types of smiles - goblin like grins, smirks, te ko pek smile (lusty smile before entering unlicensed massage palour), satisfied smile (after certain unlicensed massage), gila smile (something wrong up there), confused smile, forced smile, sniggers smile (when man selling mp3 player see “chai tao”) …. so which type of smile ah?

    […] Well, a few things have happened this week, & it culminated to some smorgasm of events. This would be quite long, but i promise to be brief. Yesterday was kind of a drag & it made me realise some things… An epiphany. Today, i just planned to put those thoughts to action. Certain things i thought would be quite extreme, but its in my persona that if i want to do it, i might as well do it all the way. Pardon me for my banzai enthusiasm. Im not going to elaborate much on it, but let’s just say, its something i wouldnt do. Something out of the ordinary. Ask me & i might tell you. Having said this, im not trying to whet anybody’s tastebuds for gossip. Right now, its 5am Friday. Wednesday & Thursday had passed like a breeze. I just finished a 25km bike ride just to clear my head, sort out my thoughts. I havent packed yet, & as usual it will be last miunte again even though im bring a substantial amount of stuff to last these next days. I have to catch a bus in 4 hours to Penang with some 10 hours of shuteye to catch on the coach.(Just realised that its my bad habit that i never sleep the time before i travel) Lets just say my day started with a 5am morning bike ride around the Bedok Reservoir-Eunos-Ubi-Circuit Rd-Macpherson area. I find it more fun to cycle around that area than Changi Coastal route. I have no idea why but i just do. Maybe its a factory thing. Needed to do some intuitive investigation to carry out my plans too. Went to work after that, trained my back & whilst working out my clients, a whole barrage of sms-es well wishes came in asking me to have a safe journey. Thanks to all who messaged. I wonder why everybody’s so nice all of a sudden. I cant help but be skeptical. Smile. That’s what someone told me to do today again. Smile? I have been smiling. Even though deep inside its hard, superficially i have smiled.. & laughed. I was in the red shirt again & i even smiled at Glenn Ong(Arsenal fan 1st, Radio DJ 2nd heh) as he made eyes at my jersey(dam… he must be wishing he was a liverpool fan now! heh) during his workout with the gorilla. In the back of my mind, im thinking how do i really smile with sincerity since i cant with a heavy heart. The greatest trick the devil pulled was convincing the world that he doesnt exist. And the bestest advice i ever heard was that you can trust anybody… its just that you cant trust the devil inside of them… not even your own. How to smile like that? Im so confused as it is. Even those on the 4 million smiles are not even smiling. Another person commented that im nice. Nice is such a default word… to the point it has lost all significance. Everything to everybody is nice as long as it doesnt offend. Yes, im a nice guy. Nice but so? Im always losing out… or looked over. Like a form of affirmative action on me. Tragically rejected. Im not trying to cast pity on myself but its about time someone gave me a break… not that i believe in purgatory or anything. The saying holds true… Nice guys always end up 2nd best. I also learnt that the 1st people who emphasise strongly on finding out if their significant other will leave them will always be the ones who jump ship 1st. Sadly ironic isnt’ it??… this role reversal. Went to have lunch today with my dentist. Its fun having lunch with her, having her tell me lots of stories of her remarkable travels. I want to say thanks to her… was feeling dead sucky already but having lunch with her & seeing the photos of her dive trip made me grin from ear to ear… literally. Some people just possess that kind of charm. Transport’s a bitch… literally. I had so many things to do today, running from one end of the world to another. Work, appointments, trainings, work, home, last minute farewell dinners & funerals & Im boosting the economy & making the taxi companies richer(read CAREFULLY!). The Taxi Companies. I heard that now the government wants to use natural gas or lpg(cooking gas) as fuel for cars. I also pity taxi drivers as they are forced by circumstances to be the bastards on the roads that they are. Its so easy just to finger them the blame as the culprits for the price hikes, not knowing that they take back already a small percentage of their supposed “extra” earnings from the price hikes. I cant wait for kereta cepat to come. It’s beckoning - swiftly(pardon the pun). On a sad note, i want to say that im still shocked & saddened by the passing of one of my good friends. Weilian or Mavis as some of us may know her. She passed away on wednesday afternoon. Got news about it from Julz who emailed. Luckily i checked it in the afternoon or i would have been none the wiser. My news has been quite outdated. The last time i heard from her beginning of this year was that her bout with cancer was recovering & she was walking. I remembering calling her wonderwoman model ah lian for making it through twice & rib her about how she would make me stay in the hospital when i went to visit her after work(&visiting hours not to much delight of the nurses) to accompany her to watch channel 8 serials. The last time we spoke somewhere in march, i told her that when i pass my license, i would give her a ride in my new set of wheels. I guess i never would get the chance. She passed away at such a tender age of 22 with a life full of fun & friends. Even during her illness, she was still in good spirits & always a smiling happy person. She will be sorely missed. God rest her soul. We’ll see you soon in heaven.This is my dedication to her. […]
