how do u feel about appreciativeness?

doesn't everyone like to be appreciated? feel appreciated?
but for that to happen, someone must first be appreciative to appreciate others...

i bought Coke and Vitagen for the twins & friends and my brother respectively. it's a little small gesture outside my usual behaviour and habit as a way of saying thanks during my stays in ntu.

i've gotten jy to transport the coke to the twin's room, and they'll probably only see it on tuesday if they do go back to sch... i've passed the vitagen to my brother, told him that he had ran out of drinks.

he said "thanks".


a surprisingly warmth feeling arosed in me.. it felt nice..
this feeling of giving someone sth he needs, and knowing that he does give some value to it..

---------------------------------------------

earlier during lunch just now, i felt melancholy.
dad was reproving* my brother for having dinner with him last night..

what??

the case: brother came home with gf, then brought dad out for dinner together.
dad: upset for them bringing him out for dinner.
reason: very tiring and inconvenient for the gf, the food he eats differs from what they eat.
standing of logic: 3 out of 10

from my point of view, it seemed that my brother and gf wanted to accompany dad for dinner since mum is now in KL. to me, it is a type of willing sacrifice of their dinner in their 2 person world. and yet being with dad is also a nice scene to see. so either way having dinner with dad is suppose to be very joyful!
i just don't get y he acts as such.. does he feel like he caused inconveniece?
but it could always be the case that bro and gf were very very willing parties!!

i just knew that if it were me, i would be very heartbroken to hear dad speak in such a way after doing sth nice for him...

*A word of related meaning to reproach, but suggesting a milder or more kindly censure, often intended to correct the fault in question, is reprove: to reprove one for inattention.
