the smile

do you know there is difference one person's smile to another person's smile? i, for one, know there is. how does one smile when (s)/he is happy? and how does one smile without any element of happiness?

i think i can feel it. one article it has got to do with the eyes. if you look carefully, one will squint the eyes when one is truly happy if not, normal eye size.

whether i take it from the size of the eye or from my heart, i am not sure. but for one, i usually know. if you don't feel like smiling, please don't. it's fake and i know it.

it is not about being polite or what. by putting up a fake smile, i think you are being insincere. something that is insincere carries no value to me that is; hence the redundancy.

well, living in the world where pictures are constantly taken all the time, there are more fake smiles that i wish to see. time to ponder again: do i always smile with my sincere heart? i wonder.

the romance of the past

during the raya break, i had decided to extend another three days to get an entire week off. awesome. part of me wanted to give my mind a break and have a good read. *ting (sound of a light bulb). i still have books that i have yet to read which i purchased during the big bad wolf event held in melaka during april. upon searching through the books, this book popped up. let's give it a shot. i have always heard about mr darcy but i wonder why the constant mention of him. turns out, he is a fictional character created by jane austen for women's fascination about the perfect man. when it comes to romance story, my earthly world will be shut and i will be brought into the world of imagination. 

quite a good read i would say. it talks about literature, books and book tour. the male hero is quite witty, humble and ordinary in human life. relate-able. but the mr darcy in the story originates from the past. the detailed description of the myriads splendid views of england did make me wanna buy a plane ticket and just fly there. bring me to london please. i think the time travel element that the writer brings is very refreshing indeed and subtle hinting of the first person character having wild dreams was always on my mind. there's always an element of miracle in love story.


finished within five days.
part of me want to believe in miracle because yours truly never believe in true love. perhaps it's time to have faith, mate.
