most beautiful smile

went to pasar malam with friends ystrdy nite, bought a packet of mee, wanted to give it a beggar , an old popo.

this longest pasar malam in malaysia is full of people =.=
cant even see what's ahead of me.
had to keep searching for the popo.

she usually sit on the floor n begging for money.
considering the number of people walking by, the heat, the chou dou fu smell,
i wonder how an elderly like her can stand all these..
she would sit on the floor for hours, craning her head to beg for money from people.

walk to her when i finally saw her,
gave the food to her and she looked at me,
puzzled,
so i bent down and pat on her shoulder, told her the food was for her.

and then she smiled.
for a moment i was dazzled by the smile.
it was so beautiful that my mind was all blank.

she said thank you and i walked away, unable to speak for awhile.


for a moment i was doubted, " can she be a beggar?"
that smile was full of appreciation and satisfaction, i saw no sign of inadequacy in that smile, she smiled as if she has everything in the world.

how many of us who has a car, even few cars,
living in big house,
wearing branded shoes, eating desserts
but still do not smile like she did?

to be grateful to life is the way to hapiness =D
