2:47 PM

Like all other miracles, big or small, it happened in a time of need.
When I first opened my eyes this morning, I could see sunlight filtering through the window, as though trying to fill my heart with the same warm, cheery, golden substance. I lay in bed, trying to fathom the meaning of my Sunday - another day to trudge through, with booklets to plan and briefings to prepare. It was going to be a tough day alright. As though trying to enjoy the morning's hush, I wilfully stayed there, unable to tell myself to get up and start work.
The more I tried to let reason take over, I just couldn't depend on my will to rise. My gaze shifted from the ceiling to the desk. And to the tabletop, where my mobile phone was still slumbering. However, in a minute, it buzzed into life, a vibration that sent tremors down the wooden table. A symbol on the display showed a new message.
I stared at the phone, as though it was a stranger. Then my mind began to work and the gears began to turn, creaking annoyingly.
"Not another task to complete!" I complained inwardly.
Thousands of stuff started to clog my mind like debris in a drain. My line of thoughts jumbled and sloshed around the rubbish, being the blocked stream.
Thinking about the busy day ahead, I adamantly decided to ignore the message. Childishly, I thought that the later I could see the message, the later I would have to think about it.
Yet my hands lingered over the phone, afraid to open the cover and frightened of what it would deliver.
Outside the window, an early sparrow chirped noisily, its eyes looking at me with a primitive curiosity. I waved at it, but it wouldn't budge. I made a face at it, but still it persisted in its quest, watching me intently with its beady eyes.
Its bravery awed me. Could it be a sign?
With one quick movement, I snatched up the phone. The sparrow seemed to smile snugly, and with one last tarrying look, flapped its wings into the heavens.
There was only three words on the message, but after reading it, I jumped straight out of bed and smiled. The world looked so much brighter now. I remember my post a few days ago.
"I think it feels good to have someone message me in the morning just to check on me. Which is like, precisely what I do when someone's feeling down.
Even a 'Morn'...' will do."
I stretched and yes, I was ready to go. I looked back at the message:
"Morn jia sheng"
It seemed to remind me of the sparrow's smile.
