Free Hugs

I was blogsurfing abit to ease into my revision for Intermediate Macro what with the midterm on thursday, and then i peeped at Vivian's blog for a while and guess what: I saw this video:

Just thought that it was great how one man's need for hugs spawned a reaction in the YouTube community, spreading from Sydney to even Tel Aviv. I mean hey if some dude in Tel Aviv can do that, I wonder what it would be like in Singapore... But i guess i'll agree with Vivian here that everyone will just stare at the fella and then ignore him or call the police or something if they can even be bothered to do so, then later Mr Brown will do some podcast on the furor that will create, and... Well you know Singapore la.

So here's a hug for anyone reading this, if you want one. You're free to politely decline of course. Family members have no option. Take it. *BEEG HUGZ*

And from a card (still) in my wallet:

I Like Hugs

It's wondrous what a hug can do,
A hug can cheer you when you're blue.
A hug can say, 'I love you so'...
Or, 'I hate to see you go'.
A hug is 'Welcome back again!'
And 'Great to see you!' or 'Where've you ben?'
A hug can soothe a small child's pain,
And bring a rainbow after rain.
The hug! There's just no double about it,
We scarcely could survive without it.
A hug delights and warms and charms.
It must be why God gave us arms.

and on the back:

Hugs are great for fathers and mothers,
Sweet for sisters, even for brothers.
And chances are, some favourite aunts
Love them more than potted plants.
Kittens crave them. Puppies love them.
Heads of state are not above them.
A hug can break the language barrier.
And make the dullest day seem merrier.
No need to fret about the store of 'em:
The more you give
The more there are of 'em.
So stretch those arms without delay
And give someone a hug today.

lotsa lurve, KaiLiNg & MeiYin
