Supposedly I need to kick off my assignment now but the other side of me is not really functioning well today. Le sigh. So might as well just take some time off for me to do some blogging here.
I remembered I was attending a part time class for Tort Law late in the evening. The weather is cold and a bit humid and it had just rained. I was reluctant to go for lecture as I was lying comfortably on my bed, as if like the gravity is pulling down my body weight. Feel really lazy today. Checked my smartphone and it was already 4.14pm, ergh, 16 more mins to lecture time and I was still here, on my comfy bed. Immediately I changed, waited for the bus and managed to attend one of my favourite lecturer's class. I think she is my motivation to attend her class because she is so inspiring in person. Sometimes, she will tell us stories and advices as a law student and I really like her lecturing style. She is literally my mentor, if I can term it in this way I suppose. Oh, did I mention she did have a great sense in fashion too?
And so the lecture finished in a blink of eye. Grabbed my bag, feeling tired, went to to office to refill my water bottle. I seriously don't get it why the college or the management team or whosoever cannot just install a water filter in my hostel. It will be so convenient, very convenient indeed.
I was waiting for the lift on the second floor and suddenly I heard a voice - a voice that is so similar that I had heard 30 mins ago... oh it was my Tort Law lecturer! She was on the phone actually. I stood still a while, trying to think what gestures I should give - should I greet her but wait, she was on the phone. It was rude to disrupt her in the middle of her conversation. Then, I smiled to her and nodded my head. So, the few seconds inside the lift with my lecturer was nothing - but pice of silence. Oh, I remembered I was having this kind of weird smile for I did not know why I was doing that.
Just when the door opened, she went out first followed by me. But wait, she stopped, turned around and waved to me. I did not expect she will do that because if it was for other lecturers, they just do not give a damn to any students. I smiled, nodded my head again and waved back to her. She was still on the phone by the way. Okay, for that little moment, I admit I did blush a bit because I feel so shy. But at the same time, I was so grateful and happy that she did turn around and smiled - she was so nice! Probably she still remembered me for I kept having appointments with her during my last study break for my Public Law essays.
You see, what I am trying to point out here is that... it is these kind of acts that really warm a person's heart. You do not to be out loud, dressed fabulously or do any crazy stuffs to attract people's attention - it is these kind of indirect gentle acts that will make others remember you so deeply. It is this kind of gestures that mesmerise people and thus allowing others to think that " oh wow, he/she has great personality!". It is this kind of politeness that makes others feel appreciated and validated, thus allowing they to think of you as a great person. I waited for the rain to end, grabbed my meal and walked back to my hostel.
A good day to remember.
