priceless...

was watching Super Sunday last sundae on tv...

 

its was a repeat telecast of an espisode of the Super Mission which i've nv seen b4. on this particular espisode, the featured celebrity was 高慧君, the female singer who sang 你最珍贵 with 张学友. she wanted to find this primary sch classmate who left a deep impression on her 10+ yrs ago.

 

高慧君 was transfered from her village sch to this new pri sch in the city and being a village gal with darker skin... she was easily outcast by her peers... and couldn't make any new frens. being far away from her family and without any frens... she was very sad and her school work was affected greatly.

 

being a village kid... she was still using normal pencils which need to be sharpened daily for usage... while her peers were already using mechanical lead pencils. during a particular test, her sharpened pencils were chipped off before she even started the test. being stubborn, she refused to borrow a pencil from other classmates and began to sharpen her pencils using a small pen knife she had. while sharpening her pencils, her peers who completed their papers left one after n other... this made her anxious and she broke the lead a few times n had to sharpen all over again... at her wits end, this boy from her class came to her rescue by passing her a new mechanical pencil while he left the classroom...

 

she was really grateful of his gesture... its was the first time she felt some1 caring for her after she left her hometown... she kept this feeling within her when she left the sch 1 yr later and even until the present time... whenever she thought of this boy she would remember this feeling of warm and care... this made her want to meet up with this boy from her class again and thank him and to let him know that his little gesture had affected her greatly at the point of time in her life...

 

yup... in the end ah liang was able to find this boy and bought a happy ending to the show... wow... it was just a small gesture tat din cost much was able to affect her greatly and remember it for her entire life...

 

maybe somtimes we are just too bz with our own lives and forget abt the people working or staying close to us... small gestures like saying "hi" or giving some1 a smile may just brighten their dae... i believe we just have to pause a while and look ard... tink n do somethings... small gestures will even do for our loved ones... do it now rather than regret later...

 

1 normal pencil 50 cents

1 mechanical pencil $2.00

1 gesture that affects a person's life and to remember it forever... priceless
