Please smile[ 9:00:00 pm ]
The latest thing I'm learning to do is to smile more. (: And I mean, at strangers.
It is easy to give a really great smile to those whom we know..but what about those acquaintances or even strangers on the street?
This brings me to remember the times when my evil twin from Myanmar, dearest Anamika, would say how we Asians (as if she isn't one..haha..) tend to cringe whenever people we meet on the streets throw us a smile. We either look away shyly or (some of us) nonchantly or worse, we give them the do-I-know-you, what-are-you-looking-at faces...(groans).
Seriously, I know it's quite this case most times..but I'm gonna take steps to really smile more at others. Because it's the most gracious thing to do, it opens hearts up and the thing is, we all do look better when we give a smile!
So I'm proud to say that today, er...I managed to give a half smile (no teeth, a bit lopsided) to a cute uncle in a lorry as I walked my way to the train station. And he smiled back readily. Ahah, I'm one step closer to being a more friendly Lynn with a nicer countenance.
