somewhat sille, that's me!

about a week back i was pigging out at a homely birthday celebration when the host, a kindly uncle who i've met only for the first time that evening, said to me, "you are such a joyful girl! that laughter is really something... :)"

(ok, he didn't have the smiley emoticon on his face, but he might as well have :D)

simultaneously, i:

• giggled at that remark, naturally hehe..
• thought about the volume and suddenness of my laughter which sometimes surprises even me, and some embarrassing moments when heads are turned my directions in public places when i "burst out" without warning, to which i would buat bodoh like nothing's happened of course *blush* :D 
• heard the Play button in my head being pressed to play this song..

you do it for the joy it brings
because you're a joyful girl
because the world owes me nothing
and we owe each other the world
I do it cause it's the least I can do
I do it cause I learned it from you
I do it just because I want to
just because I want to
