Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow.

Sometimes words arent necessary to express our feeling and emotions.
Over the years, on my journey home from my sec school, the bus would stop at Balestier Sec, and suddenly the once peaceful bus becomes a loaded boom box with all the students yacking away. But admist all the hustle and bustle, there stands a group of either mute, deaf or even both, students deep in conversation and with the same level of excitement as the other normal kids. I used to watch them and smile. What do they lack? Not being able to hear and speak? But they've been blessed because they can do something many of us are not able to.

HAHA Im drifting from my purpose of this post.

On the 23rd floor directly below my house, there is this chinese guy who is deaf and mute and for many years, everything he sees us, his face lights up and his smile is practically from one ear to the other. He mouths a "hi" in the most enthusiastic manner, its almost as if he's saying it. Oh and its always accompanied with a big wave. SO genuine, it warms the heart and automatcially wipes of any doubts you might have about his genuinity.

I look forward to bumping into him because it doesnt matter if you're walking infront of him, or behind him anywhere also he'll make it a point to acknowledge and it leaves me all smiley and warm.
A sulky journey home last night was brought to a smile when I was dragging my feet home and he was infront of me. He took two turns to realise it was me and waved with that ever so big smile. Automatically I felt so warm.

See, who needs words? Sometimes is the smallest gestures that make a big difference. A simple pat on the back, a wave, or a smile could just make someone's day. Infact I think its worth more than words.

So the next time you meet eye to eye with a stranger just smile. You could brighten his/her day and that way, you would have made a little difference in his day or even life =)

Yeap!
