mirza: what do you think of those girls over there?
SB: hmm.. their looks doesn't match their brains. they're pretty, but not smart. does not match with mine also.
mirza: how do you know?
SB: i just know..
mirza: then, what do you think of kak diana?
SB looked at me.. "analyzed" me up and down.. turned to mirza and said.. "She's smart and she's pretty!"
Those were the exact words that came out of SB's mouth. and you know the amazing thing about this, is that SB.. is mirza's 7 year old couz.. yeap, he is only 7 years old!
hahah.. what a charming lil' fella eh.. i find it quite remarkable that this kid, who's only studying at primary 1 level by the way, could talk like that! mirza was just as surprised.. he asked SB to repeat the sentence once again.. and without any hesitation, he said it loud and clear, this time with his tiny finger pointing at me! hahaha.. i was on cloud 9 i tell you.. this kid really know how to flatter a girl.. *smiles*
SB made me realized that we all need to be a little more forthcoming with compliments for others.. a kind word, or a little pat on the back can really boost someones confidence / happiness level quite a bit. it can make a difference in how someone feel about themselves, or even their overall outlook on life.. sadly, we simply don't utilize them as often as we should.. i think if we all did that a little more, then maybe.. just maybe.. the world would be a better place to live in. oh well, it's just a thought.
