Sun behind my dark clouds

Was feeling very low yesterday. Won't say too much, but to cut a long story
short, something I anticipated happened the way I thought it would even
though I was hoping the outcome would be a more positive one. That's life
for you. You sometimes expect the worst and try to prepare mentally for it,
but when it happens, you're still not as prepared as you thought you were.

On the way to Bangi this morning, for the first time I met a very friendly
toll operator who greeted me with a bright, "Apa khabar?" I was so
surprised I nearly forgot how to reply in BM but I recovered very quickly
with "Khabar baik" and I enquired after him too. I usually smile at
all the toll operators and say thank you when the transaction is over, but
this is the first time a toll operator has preempted me. That's a great way
to perk someone's day up.

Then received an SMS from my mentor about the aforesaid incident which made
me feel loads better. I had done the best that I could, and what happened
was not completely within my control. I can smile now. :)
