I don't mind if you've got something nice to say about me
And I enjoy an accolade like the rest
You could take my picture and hang it in a gallery
Of all who's who and so-n-so's that used to be the best
At such'n'such ... it wouldn't matter much
I won't lie, it feels alright to see your name in lights
We all need an 'Atta boy' or 'Atta girl'
But in the end I'd like to hang my hat on more besides
The temporary trappings of this world
I want to leave a legacy
How will they remember me?
Did I choose to love? Did I point to You enough
To make a mark on things?
I want to leave an offering
A child of mercy and grace who
blessed your name unapologetically
And leave that kind of legacy
I don't have to look too far or too long awhile
To make a lengthly list of all that I enjoy
It's an accumulating trinket and a treasure pile
Where moth and rust, thieves and such will soon enough destroy
Not well traveled, not well read, not well-to-do or well bred
Just want to hear instead, "Well Done" good and faithful one...
this afternoon was on my way to church. and i was a bit pissed off or not reali lah, just thinking..aiyo, y lidat one?? u noe wat happened? the mrt actuali not v full... got abt 6 seats empty. BUT u noe wat? they are all those in-between seats and those ppl who are on the left and right of the seats are like opening their legs real wide or occupying like one and a half seats! yes! u got it! they are guys lor! so inconsiderate! imagine the mrt lidat, and many ppl chose to stand instead of squeezing in between them. GUYS! not gentlemen at all, u noe?? see so many ppl still sit until lidat...
then, when im on my way back home, i took the mrt again. and guess wat? mrt is v pack..(wonder y? coz is friday nite??) but then, all the ppl who are sitting down are all... yar..u are right! mostly guys leh! y lidat one???
ok, im not saying that all guys must let the gers sit... but just that, is like not right. ok, im a lady of the 21st century, but i think guys still must act gentlemanly... i actuali dun mind ppl opening the door for me, pulling out the chair and letting me go before them.. i dun actuali..haha... i love to be pampered.. heehee..
toking abt that, one of my cousin is a real gentleman! when i went to visit him in msia, he will accompany me and sis to go shopping, and he din complain at all, even when i told him mayb he can go somewhr to rest and after we finished, we can call him, but he good naturedly said is alrite. he will accompany us. and he will let us go on the escalator 1st... etc, etc. now, i heard he has got himself a wonderful gerfren and they hv engaged aredi.
so wats the point of this entry? i dunno too.. juz thot i simply hv to tok abt the scenario i happened to be in. of coz, there are good and gentlemanly guys around.. but getting lesser by the day. and of coz, im not only toking abt gentlemen lah.. but the inconsideration of those ppl.
