Which translates to the need to take a cab to office. (without kena-ing the warning letter - imagine me giving myself a warning letter for being late... CHOY!)
And i boarded a Comfort Cab which has a base fare of $3.00. Yes, the comfy Hyundai-ATV.
FYI: Today starts the official extra $0.30 fare (Diesel Tax). Meaning, when u board the cab in the morning (outside city area), it will be a starting fare of $1.35 + base fare.
As usual, i chat with the cab-driver, who is this jovious Indian uncle, but with a Malay name. Initially he was just talking about how much he pay for the taxi and his family members.... Then, out of the blue, he made a statement which astound me. Because it's so true.
How true. Sometimes, a smile may mean nothing to you, even though it's already proven that you take more muscles to frown than to smile. But to someone who's depressed, to someone who needs an encouragement, a smile can simply lift up their spirits. It does miracles, somehow.
How amazing, that a simple truth is magnified and shown by a jovial cab-uncle. And it's not rocket-science that you need to trial and error to know that it is.

And, this uncle nearly brought the house down, when he said that he MUST smile everyday.
Hahaha. And yes, i paid the cab-uncle with a big, wide smile on my face, despite it costing me an $18 burn in my wallet. And even as lunch time is going to be over soon, i'm still smiling whenever i think about this uncle and what he said.
Did u remember to smile today? If u haven't, just do it, u feel many tonnes better than u haven't did for the day. =)
