About Laughter
hiiiii! I laughed out so loud today. family and i were on our way back from hougang (to make my contact lenses!) and we dropped by 717 to buy durian puffs and pudding. When i saw my mum paying for the durian pudding there were already thoughts conceived in my mind that the pudding was gonna suck.

Back in the car, we consumed all the durian puffs in no less than 10 minutes and moved on to the pudding. Sure enough, the moment that egg-y flimsy milk-like thing touched my tongue, i yelped a great "YUCKS!". then went off into rolls of hysterical laughter. I also forced daryl to try it. His reaction: hurry pass me the tea to wash this off. Needless to say, poor papi the dustbin of the family had to finish up the whole cup of pudding. But everyone was laughing while eating, because it was just so bad. and funny.

It just got me thinking how long ago i really laughed so hard. or we, or even people for that matter.

A few days ago, I was on the bus and i was watching this family with two children, a small girl and boy. The small girl started bursting into cackles of uncontrollable laughter for about three minutes at something her grandpa did. She was just SO tickled that she couldnt stop laughing. It was a joy to watch her - another woman who was watching the little girl was secretly smiling to herself, so was I.

On thursday, jiahao chenwei and I were trying to study at the level 2 couches in school. The topic about "headnotes" started and at the end of the discussion, it surfaced that I had made a very grave stupid mistake all the time while reading cases- which was totally embarrassing and bimbotic. But oh, it gave us such a good laugh that I was close to tears. (:

Ha-Ha. When I was young, I was such a damn good laugh-er. I remember easily going into balls of hyena laughter and rolling on the floor kicking my legs. thinking back, the feeling was just so good!

In lower sec, what really bonded me to jessie and grace were also our playful personalities and all the lovely laughing movements. I have no idea what we laughed about but it was so awesome.

Since then, the pressures and stress of life, and perhaps due to some odd mindset on my part that being so serious, isolated, and focused was the only way to a successful life slowly diluted this really important part of my life and it virtually faded away. Its probably a factor why I cant really remember much of my more recent past, or maybe I dont even want to remember it at all.

I'm really glad that I managed to identified this though. I never consciously realized that such a huge fantastic thing was missing from my life for a while. Genuine Innocent Laughter like that kid is probably one of the best ways to real living. =)

darn, a call just disrupted my thoughts on how to conclude this post. i think i got out most of what i wanted to pen down though.

Enjoy your good laughing moments!=)
