Time flies. It has been 10 years since I first lay my eyes on this fantastic piece of magical story. It's all started off with the story being put onto the big screen together with a bunch of actors and actresses, not to forget the directors, producers and the entire crew whom make this magical story comes alive. Since then, I'm absolutely absorbed by the whole storyline.
From Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone up to the Deathly Hallows, they accompany me through my teenager's life. I spent more than half of my teenager's life reading it and the interesting part is never getting bored of re-reading it over and over again. In spite of that, I feel grateful to be part of this. Never have I read such a fascinating story in my entire life. Not to tell, the plot itself drawn me away from whatever I'm in, the suspense urge me to continue reading it everytime without fail and the climax even distract me from concentrating on my daily routine. By reading it make me feel like stepping into another dimension where I let loose of my imagination to run wild and freely.
Frankly, I think J.K Rowling has certainly done a really great job.
For most of the people, this story will come to an end on the 14th of July (the release of HP and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2). But, as for me, this story will be carry on for years. I won't be surprised finding myself telling this story, in replace of 'Sleeping Beauty', 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs' as a bedtime story for my child in the future. After all, this is what the whole wide world share no matter it's in the past, present or future.
Lastly, a quote from my friend, who loves HP just as much as I do,
'your childhood will not be completed without reading Harry Potter'
:D

Be thankful.
My Monday routine will not be completed without having a 2 hours lunch break plus homework marathon at Modern mamak restaurant before I attend tuition class at 4pm. As usual, yesterday I went to the restaurant. This mak cik approached me to take order.
Mak cik: Dik... Nak apa?
Me: Teh o ais, 2 roti kosong...
Few minutes later...
Mak cik: Nah... Sini ada sambal. Makan kenyang kenyang dulu ya baru belajar.
At that moment, such a warm feeling flowed in my heart. This eventually boosted my energy to deal with my homework later on.
Yes. A simple action can touch people's heart. A meaningful word can even change a person's life. You do not need to have a pocketful of cash, earn a 5 or 6 figures salary, drive a Mercedes Benz, stay in a penthouse, all you need is to show a little concern sincerely. Even a smile brightens up one's day, a joke makes people laugh out loud and forget their sadness, a short text motivates oneself to live a better life, a simple 'how are you?' let others feel they too, matter to you, a 'thank you' in return will make you feel you're appreciated.
Treat each and every individual with an open heart because every single person is unique in their own way. No matter how they look like, whether is fat or thin, tall or short, ugly (bear in mind. No one is ugly, it's how you look at them) or pretty, and how they behave, as long as they don't harm you, they always deserve to be treated well. Put yourself in their shoes sometimes and look things from their view, you'll realize how this will broaden your vision and expand your thinking to let you see beyond the obvious, see the unseen.
Good day everyone. :D
