An unusual holiday morning at which I woke slightly early, took bath before I brushed my teeth and headed to a nearby supermarket to shop for five coloured fruits.
Never before had I performed a religious chinese pray at home which involves fruits as we do not own any altar at home you see, and all the knowledge about buddhism which I possess are just a thin layer on the surface.
I felt awkward inside to only pick one of each type of fruit instead of the usual multiply of at least five.
To make things worse, the sales person who helped weighed each fruit I picked, laughed.
I smiled and explained, for praying kak.
That kak thought I was on a diet plan, one fruit per day, enough for the weekdays of a week. LOL.
Within the same grocery mart, I bumped into an uncle, a cheerful uncle.
We were from different directions, trying to reach the same cashier counter.
One glance at his hands, I could only see groceries, groceries, groceries, neither accompanied by a helper nor aided with a basket or trolley.
Signalling the uncle to pay first, this uncle smiled, a warm smile and in a familiar cantonese dialect, he shooked his head and said, '做什麽事都唔好碑人行头，本来是你的就坚持，要对自己要信心!’
I smiled back, paid before him and thanked him.
It's a day worth remembering, that uncle and his words. =D
One sunny day, checked!
Can't pull myself out of 下一站，幸福, the first one which shakes my stand on taiwanese drama series, the plot is well planned, the main characters stand out well, acting skills are in my view great! Worth watching (:
