trying to be nice, to do the right things.

this has always been on my mind. for the whole of my life. when i was younger and more shy, i tended to behave better and look more guai1. and ppl could see the nice side of me. but these years, as i FINALLY started to be less shy (and perhaps more shameless LOL) i tend to treat ppl less nicely. of cos my heart's still more or less the same. but due to my external behaviour, on the outside i look more like a joker or something, i think that ppl really dun see who i am inside. only those closer ones or those who bother enough to understand the real me can see this side of me.

yday, jamie was telling me she thinks about me when she is thinking about doing nice things. that heard, im really comforted and glad. she says ive always been supportive of such things. haha i guess its mostly due to my half a yearly april fools and childrens day smses =D well, point is, that got me really thinking quite a bit too.

im a really good thinker in this area. i know what to do, how to be nice. but sometimes, the inertia gets into me. i think its pretty much the same for many others. we know what we should or ought to do. but its kinda weird, uncomfortable or simply, not everyone is used to expressing their nice side or sharing the joy. after hearing abt jamie's project, im now more motivated to be nice again. all it really takes is a bit of an effort, to make someone's day.

some ppl may argue, you dun need to show ppl u are nice. ppl who truly know u will know who u are. yeah. sometimes being nice to ppl may seem a little fake. its as though there is an ulterior motive of some sort. it looks quite disgusting, esp if u are only nice to erhm for eg girls u are interested in. and then u treat others way differently. yucks. then i think again. its actually not entirely true. in fact, when u demonstrate ur kindness to ppl, they will feel more willing to offer their kindness to others as well. its like, the pay it forward movie. u help someone, someone helps another one. and the world becomes a better place to live in!

simplistic, but essential. this is what makes the world go round.

im always happy to see such things happening. be it some young guy giving up his seat on the train, or someone just holding the door for you or offering you help when u look like u cant carry that 40kg load distributed over 6 bags on you.

if only we can take a bit of effort, and be nice. it makes you happy, and it makes someone else happy too. lets hope to see nicie gummie soon ((:
