Past weeks, I was very lethargic. Other than completing my scheduled flight duties, I was multi-tasking and settling several outstanding personal matters.
My body almost given way as it aches all over especially my neck and shoulder. As a result, it causes headache and sleeping pattern was haywire. It was unbelievably a physical torture.
On the contrary, although my body was in pain, but my heart was of all time warmth. *wink wink*
There are three persons worth mentioning here that crossed or crisscrossed their path in my life.
The first to highlight is my relationship with my sister of 27 years has taken a turn. I have never build a strong bond with my sister as we spent our childhood, teenage-hood and adulthood mostly apart.
Recently, due to job re-location, she has moved in and staying with me. I do welcome her presence but some how, I was struggling to adjusting to “an additional person” who is ripping off a little of my space, my privacy and some “me” time.
After living together for merely a month, spent several times dining together and ongoing sisters’ talk, I realise our sisterhood of 27 years has finally taken-off which it has pulled us much closer than before.
I came to know that she has been looking up upon me when she feels weak and needed moral support. For what I don’t know, there is indeed a protective-elder-sis character that is living within me. Just like the Chinese proverb says: Blood is always thicker than water (Nothing is more important than family).
I finally begin to understand my sister better, after a good 27 years of ‘knowing’ each other. Wow!
The second person that oozes my heart is my 2 months old, Online-pal. I have had enjoyed exchanging emails with him for a month long. Reading and re-reading his emails is always entertaining and addictive that I religiously replying his emails with breaking records. (Sorry my dear blog, for I have neglected you!)
When I finally met this person, the vibes were great and connection was instantaneous. He is so easy to talk to, as our level of intellectual and understanding are mutual. Occasionally when he speaks his mind, it sounds like echo of my voice. It’s amazing.
My only doubt is how long this chemistry would last or when the rose is no longer rosy over the passage of time when the law of diminishing sets in. Or is my gut feel fooling on me?
Never mind all the obscure trivia, I simply wish to enjoy and savour the moment. Cool!
The third person that cheers my heart is my 4 hours flight passenger: An 8 year old Hong Konger. She is a long-haired girl, with angelic smiles and speaks in a sweet and melody tone. No other names that can better describe her: Angel.
She has a distinctive pleasant personality that catches my attention on her. Every request from her is being asked so politely with a sweet smile.
As I was busy throughout the flight, she has waited patiently from ground (before take off )till almost the end of the flight (before landing) to snap a picture with me.
Out of guilt for making her wait, I stole some time chit-chatting to her and got to know that her ambition is to become an air-hostess (with no other secondary ambition). I enjoyed our small talk although it was a short one. I do find her absolutely high in EQ (Emotional Quotient). (I notice I'm always drawn to people with high EQ than IQ)
Besides, her parents are also humble and carry themselves well. It forms a happy and blessed family picture of them in my mind. Her mannerism is superb which can beat most of the adult passengers. (She is so far the only young pax who responded to me with a word of “You’re welcome” each time when I say “Thank you” to her)
My last word for her was to encourage her to study hard in order to achieve her dream job which she nodded her head (with a little effort) in return. (Good job, FlyMe!)
By looking at the 3 persons that has captured my heart, it truly doesn’t matter how long I know the person, be it 27 years… 2months… or even 4 hours… time is not the essence.
