it's been a while since I last baked for orders (since I had closed the brownie business) and recently took an order cos' I was free and I just received an SMS from the customer that she and her family loved the brownie!:) hee! it's a small thing - but it sure made my day! I am so happy that the brownie cake made her husband's birthday celebration that bit nicer and well....we all need that assurance from time to time (read: a nice boost for my ego. haaa....think i needed it!)
also this afternoon - I was on the packed filled bus and a kind elderly lady was looking and nodding to me - to ask if I wanted her seat. I was a little shocked and didn't know how to respond cos' I am young and was perplexed at why she wanted to give her seat to me. pardon the egg head here cos' I had probably ~ 3 hours of restless sleep and probably feeling not so sharp... so i gave a smile and politely declined with a gentle shake of the head. turns out that she was alighting and wanted to give me priority over the other school kids......heh.
these were small events, but the small kind gestures from these ladies made my day and really humbled me. generally I prefer animals over humans cos' they are simpler and not complicated. and these gestures were simple yet they somehow touched me and have more faith in the human race!
glad to know that you are feeling so much better now! i guess i haven't really encountered the you when you are super stressed out cos then you'll lock yourself away from your friends, but nevertheless, just want to let you know that anytime you need sometime to talk to, you can always look for me (when i am in singapore)! it doesn't always have to be me doing the ranting! Lol. :p
ReplyDeletethank you for your offer of support gal!:)
ReplyDeleteya...when I stress, I don't feel like talking and can be quite snarky - so I try not to drag pple in perfectly decent moods into the lousy one I'm in! hahaha... it is comforting to know that if I do need help to get out of the not-so-great mood - I got friends like you to approach!:) thank you very much!
