The little things....

I was catching the bus the other day from the city back to broadway. 2 old ladies got onto the bus and was sitting at the front. One of the old ladies started coughing really bad and sounded like she was having problems breathing because she was coughing so bad. This went on for a few minutes when this young girl who was sitting behind the woman, tapped her on the shoulder and offered her some water. How often are we too busy with our lives to care about other people? More often then not, when we're travelling to and from work, all we think about is ourselves. No you don't want to make eye contact with a stranger, nor do you want to strike up a conversation with the person sitting next to you because that is improper. We should all keep to ourselves and mind out own business. Thats the way life is. But to see that girl make such a simple gesture proves that not everyone is like that. Not everyone is so engrossed with their own lives that they don't care about others. I thought the girl was pretty when she first got on the bus. But after seeing her simple gesture, she was stunningly beautiful...

kids now days........

Went shopping with my nephews the other week. Its getting close to their birthdays so i took all 3 of my nephew shopping. They were supposed to meet me at the shops after their school "concert" thing. I got a call from my sister saying "The kids have picked out their birthday pressies, come and pay"

Ok.....so i walked to the shops and my oldest nephew comes running up to me

Him: I've chosen my present! Lets go pay now! *Starts to drag me towards the cash register*
Me: Wait! Show me what you want me to buy first!
Him: Its this toy... *flashes the toy quickly*
Me: Ok...how much is it?
Him: errrr.....30-ish.....
Me: High 30-ish or low 30-ish...
Him: errr.....high 30-ish..... But its 20% off all toys today!!!
Me: is it 30-ish BEFORE or AFTER the 20% discount?
Him: errrrrr...after?
Me: Fine.....i'll buy it
Him: Oh wait!! This needs batteries!! I'll go grab some
My nephew then runs off and brings back a pack of 20 batteries.....somehow I feel i got jipped...

Strange hangover.....

My fone has a function that allows me to set my alarm to go off once, or go off daily. I have my alarm going off at 7:15am everyday even weekends cos i'm too lazy to change it. This morning, the alarm went off and I did my usual "hit the snooze button and go back to sleep" mode. Suddenly i realised it was 7:15am. I went SHIT@#^%#$^#!^ I need to be at work at 7am!!! No one from work has called me cos they are all locked out@#%#$^% I jumped out of bed, started throwing my clothes on and then i went o_O

.....

Yes.....its a sunday...I went back to bed...

My reward!

HMMMMMMM..........the other week i stayed back after work to do some quick testing for one of our clients who shall remain unnamed. This client basically produces cereal and they had a CD for us to test. I tested, they were happy. Today i received a mega huge box delivered to my work addressed to me. Thinking that it was a bomb, my first instinct was to open the box only to be faced with 12 family sizes boxes of cereal........i was seriously disappointed. The least they could've done was send me cereal that was pumped full of sugar. No......i got the sugar free type.....Currently there is a big sign on my desk at work "FREE - Please take one". I think i'm going to throw up at the sight of cereal........
