People tell me that I don’t smile enough.
Guilty as charged.
It’s true, unless you are a pretty lady or I happen to strike 4D on that day, or else you can pretty much give up hope on me smiling at you. If you are lucky, I might give you a sneer, but that’s as far as I go. But that’s when I am with friends. You guys never see me when I am alone. (If I am alone, then there will no one around to see me!? Duh! Note to self: Some logic please.)
Sometimes when I am downstairs buying dinner, I can’t help but snicker when I recall silly things that people have said or done in my presence. Then I will smile at no one in particular, or sometimes at the hawkers. No wonder the auntie at the tomyam stall always give me extra sotong. Must be my award winning smile. Which could potentially explains why her husband is in permanent bad mood.
Why the reluctance to smile? I have no idea, so I am just going to make up some explanations that hopefully will divert your attention long enough before you realize that I am not making sense, exactly the way this sentence has just did and if you are slow reader, that’s what it’s going to do. And do remember boys and girls, just because I made it up, doesn’t make it wrong.
Back to the real reason, it’s because it signifies a commitment to smile next time to the same person you smile at previously. Say, you smiled at some bugger today, if you meet her at school again the next day, what would you do? There are only two reasons for that, either she can’t get enough of you and is stalking you, or she just happens to be in the same school as you (DID YOU REALLY EXPECT ME TO BELIEVE THAT?) Anyway, if you smiled yesterday and you didn’t today, prepared to get hit with a shitload of questions like “Are you feeling ok?”, “You angry/emo today huh?”or “Oei, you still owe me five bucks leh.”
Oh, do look out next week for my article on why I never apologize.
