a bad second start

"here we go, life's waiting to begin."

and so here life goes. a day more and i feel i'm becoming a better person. just yesterday i picked up a card on the pavement which was supposed to belong to some teacher of st gabriel's primary school. right at the rear of the card told me to return it to the nearest police post, and so i did. the nearest one was about a kilometre down the road, but i decided to take the walk. it was worth it. i felt so happy after that. i just wanted the person to know that there are still such singaporeans around. i sure hoped the person's impression of us would change. in my 'typical' self a few months back i would have probably used it to borrow books at the library. i guess it was time i had to change my ways, stop my sadist thoughts and actions. it is sure worth the effort, especially when i have God to help me break the habits.

again today i was with sean and tarun supposedly going to watch 'over the hedge' at the new cathay cineplex. tarun had 2 free tix and he asked us to come along. but then we realised that the tix were all sold out and so we couldn't watch. i at first thought of selling them to someone else but i figured that since it was free why not just give it to someone? so we tried and tried and tried...for many people. no luck. so eventually we just left it somewhere and finally someone picked it up. i could see the wide smile on his face and the enthusiasm he had while sliding up his phone and dialling his friend's number. i felt a great sense of satisfaction seeing that. i guess i'm just going to go out of my way to help more people now. if i can't help myself well at least i can help others. and that is something i'm willing to do. for anyone.

thank you so much God.
