I realised that Singaporeans are, in general, nice people after all.

As opposed to news articles of seemingly inconsiderate individuals who refuse to give up their seats to those who needed them more, it was a real sweet feeling to experience two incidents that was indeed heartwarming.

Two individuals gave up their seats to an elderly gentlemen and a physically challenged lady in the same journey. There was no hesitation- the smile and expression of gratitude of the elderly folks was akin to a megawatt bulb.

Why am I bringing this up? I think we had enough of concentrating on the unpleasant things around us. This incident has shown that there are still people who are selfless. Their attitudes are indeed laudable.

Blame me for being an optimist, but I do feel that it is only when you focus on the positive that you can be at peace with yourself.How can you ever be happy if your thoughts are filled with negative notions?

You cant be nice to anyone if your thoughts are always of the negative and hawkish nature.I choose to focus on the good things and remind myself that this world still has some credibility to it.

Geez, this is such perfect irony for a self professed worrier like myself.

I had a whale of a time catching up with my boss on a lovely Saturday noon. We met for lunch and shopping thereafter (for the office, please). It amazes and inspires me how much my effort my boss invests in the development of those working with him (me included). We had a great time chatting about the exciting plans ahead, and wiring up the office. The place looks real sweet now.

I wonder how God saw it fit that I deserve such divine love, that manifests itself through my job, those I work with, and my lovely bunch of friends, and my family. Indeed I am blessed!

Now thats what the Bible means when it says : "Count your Blessings!"
