This simple pleasure.

It was just another post-class evening and for the first few minutes after we reach home, the three of us were in Sya and Ayin's room just like always. I, still in my t-shirt and jeans was sitting on Sya's bed with knees drawn to my chest- probably playing at my toenails or something other-I didn't pay attention. Ayin was already out of her class outfit, airing her towel at the mini sized balcony attached to their room. Sya was standing by the study table next to the bed that I was on, arranging the flowers she just bought on our way back from class. We were talking of nothing in particular, silly random stuff.Things that one usually forgets just as soon as the conversation ends. Stuff of no importance, really. But there we were all the same, jumping off from one topic to another, laughing a lot in between and Ayin her back to us, would occasionally turn her head around to tease or to add a point, I had to look up to those two from my position on the bed and Sya was arranging those pretty yellow carnations in the vase while talking and laughing as if it was the most natural thing to do.

Quotidian, this. Nothing extraordinary at all.

But there you have it, if I were to freeze those few minutes and show it to you, you could see that we were truly enjoying ourselves albeit over things that has no importance to you, even to us.

This is afterall, a simple pleasure.

The perfect company.

For a cool, balmy afternoon I give you;

Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong.

Simply sublime.

p/s: anyone know where I can buy this album?

aujourd'hui

This little guy (assuming that it was a 'he') didn't even realise that I took his picture. He was too busy observing his two friends playing.

AND look carefully at the shadows of the trees on the picture below. There were crescent shaped patterns and (I think) they were cast by the annular eclipse that occurred today.

cool kan?

Life lesson 101.

Just like love is often mistaken for loathing,

being shy is often misconstrued as aloofness.

situation.

kau rasa kau lagi bagus dari orang tu dan orang ini, serba-serbi. Taste, style, personality, Segala.

Orang tu pulak rasa kau ni narrow minded; that she'd much rather be herself than be you any day of the week, thankyouverymuch.

tapi dua-dua tak sedar.

Life's not a competition, there's no need to compare yourself from one person to another.Who are you anyway to think that you're better than anyone?

Just because one doesn't hold the same opinion as you do, because one's way of thinking differ from yours?

Because a person is a driver of some sort and you see yourself as an educated person, does it give you the right to treat that person with less respect? Stop having such high opinions of yourself.

Each one of us, we're simply a drop of water in the vast ocean. It doesn't matter what we do, even if we're bound to save thousands of life, if we're not around, the world would still find a way to get along just fine without us. Yea, we are that small.

So let's just live our lives as peacefully as possible and reserve all judgmental thoughts only for situations that calls for it.

"it's not the large things that

send a man to the

madhouse. death he's ready for, or

murder, incest, robbery, fire, flood . . .

no, it's the continuing series of small tragedies

that sends a man to the

madhouse . . . "
