sometimes it's the small things that count. call me foolish or hopelessly romantic, i sure am easily touched by small but thoughtful actions. the other day, en yao sent me a commercial clip. i know, i know. it is just a funny commercial clip. it is not like he made a confession clip for me or anything. it is the fact that he thought of me and his determination that touched me. imagine the trouble he went through just to send me the small 1.29 MB clip. i have the lousy connection of mmu hostel to thank for. first, he tried sending it through msn but it failed. the second attempt failed as well. then he tried sending using yahoo. as expected, that failed too despite the good reputation yahoo has for file transfers. just as i thought it is time to give up and that the clip is never meant to reach me, he sent me a link. he uploaded the clip somewhere so that i can download it. the download took me another 2 minutes or so but it was worth it. the clip is really funny. initially, i felt sleepy and almost gave up on my revision. however, after watching the clip and had a good laugh, i felt refreshed again. the sleepiness just disappeared magically. due to that, i was able to keep myself studying for 4 more hours! seriously, i would have given up if i were in his shoes (i gave up sending a song to my sister after 2 failed attempts). his determination is impressive. the never-give-up attitude is something i admire about him. he is a man of his word, reliable as always. he will definitely go far in life.

now i'll make him go through the same hell again for another 3 times to get the other 3 clips =P
