The Greatest Joy

now i think it's true - even the smallest things, can affect us deeply.

coffee o corner has been my favourite place for breakfast since my friend first introduced the place. i think i go there almost everyday. hmm you can call me a regular costumer already. so today i went there with my girl friend for breakfast, of course. this guy took our order and left then he came again bringing our milo peng, and left again. few minutes later he came again bringing our laksa, but this time with a makcik. the makcik asked him, "nak ney sorang?", then he pointed at me by "using" his eyes. the makcik looked at my face maybe for about two minutes and i just sat there, looking back. the guy walked away and left the makcik serving us (after the makcik "scanned" my face) and i totally had no idea what was happening.

after she served us, i was about to give her the money, she suddenly said to me "eh dik, laki ya kirim salam ngan kitak" and pointed her finger to the guy just now. i looked at him and he smiled, i just could laugh. i just didn't know how to react.

we were done with breakfast so we went to the counter to pay our drinks. the girl at the counter smiled (i don't know how to describe the smile) at me and i was like, hmm fishy. you know, there's a screen at the counter that shows the table number, descriptions, and total. i saw something at the screen but i pretend i didn;t see it. then my girl friend looked at the screen and laughed, "atul, nangga tok!". i just smiled. actually on the screen, at the description part it said, "awek kacak pun".

i know i was being so awkward. because this kind of thing is not normal to me. i mean it's not always happening to me. seriously. i'm a shy person and i dont think i'm an attractive person. so deep down after i left the restaurant, i was so thankful to him for calling me kacak. i'm still smiling now, you know. thank you. :)

actually my point is not this story but how this small random thing could make me smile the whole day. so guys, start telling nice things to everyone. just say anything, like "you rock my world" or as simple as "you're pretty" - even better, trust me, even the smallest things - simplest nice words - simplest actions can bring the greatest joy.
