Helplessness

You might not realise it but everyday, you might have made someone's day a lil' brighter or even inspired a person or two effortlessly. =] Talking about this, it brings me back to an incident that occur a few days ago. actually its last week laa. I dunno if u guys will get what i mean but i'll try to put it into words that will get my message across. Its like this. My family was eating laksa at what we call it as the 'dirty place' as in cos it is under a shady area canopied by the trees. Anyway, there's this guy who was trying to sell some sort of plushies.Two only. He went around each table and offered his goodies-for-sale.

But unlike other salesmen who wears those office clothes, hes those random kind of people, quite old and less-income kind. And most people would seek their customers to buy their products by convincing them through small talk, but he didn't. Instead, he was singing,like really singing loudly in Canto+Hokkien. And at first, my family was spotting for a radio. Hahah. Cos i mean, his voice was pretty good. So we didn't know it was 'live' la.hehe. Even dad said so. :) And that's not the point, the fact that he put in lots of effort to sell the goods really was smtg. No one bought the stuff really, and deep down, stupid me, had this thoughts that say, 'don't give up!Ganbatehhh! '. Stupid but true.

By the time i went home, he still didn't manage to sell a single plushie. Its saddening to me, its really different from those other salespeople who sell stuffs whom most of the time we'd just politely say 'we bought it already' (in other ways of saying 'bye bye..NOOOO.' AHHAHA :P ) I mean if it was me and i had to go through such a day as his in my everyday-S as part of my life, i dunno if i'll be able to not give up. Maybe the guy was lacking in certain skills to get a regular gaji job. OR maybe hes a pro pro criminal in disguise (who knows)!! But that's beside the point. He's creative enough to attract customers by singing, he deserved some credit ler. Sometimes, when you get so caught up with life,small weeny beeny things like that will make you think and reflect over things. (i mean if not you,then at least Me.) And also sometimes, you really wish you can reach out and help out others but the truth is, you can't. Helpless. The fact that its not that you don't want to help but because you don't have the ability or power to do so. Saddening ehh.:] p.s He should go join those Astro Star competition or smtg la.solution kautim.heeess.:D

Anyway, when i see the *mountain*, i can't ignore it.Homework!:S HAHAHA. I feel like eating fries! Bonjour! whee wees! crapping.=] Fighting off the sleepyhead feeling of mine! WACHA! :)) Ehh, I need more time to do all the pleasures and leisures in life.aahss.=] And woo,on a lighter note, I have been listening to chinese fms' every morning on my way to school these past few days. Quite many nice songs lor. If only i knew.......... mandarin + cantonese. At times like this, i wish i wasn't e bananarama. :( Sedih pilu hatiku..ahahhaa.jkjk.=P Anyway, I clearly remember there's this one song in particular which i think isn't that bad. Got the 'doremifasolatidooo' lyrics in it wen and its a canto song. Help s.o.s? anyone? :)    

Sayonara to the world for now.Till then.Wuuuhhuuu.:P
