It feels GREAT to be nice !!!!! :)

Comment Published at 07:5907:5927 comments27 comments48 Visits48 VisitsReport

I don't know, have you ever done something good..
And felt: "This makes me feel so great"?

Today, Alisha tried these Baby Rice Cakes for the first time..
And she loved them !!!!!
And it was so exciting for us, because of all the finger foods we've tried to give her, she's only ever stared at them ! LOL
(As oppose to the toys that she usually tries to eat. haha)

But anywho, she had 3 mini rice cakes within 15 minutes and I was so amazed.. and so was Lawrence :)
She kept chewing away and wanting more ! hehe

And so, as I was looking at the packet, I noticed a 'Feedback Hotline' where you could call and let them know what you thought of the product..
And thing is, I've never done this before..
I have never liked anything THAT much to want to call (LOL)...
Or hated anything THAT much either.. hahahaha

But I thought to myself: "why not?" :)

I called the hotline and a nice woman answered..
And I said:
"This is gonna sound a bit lame *laugh*, but my daughter is almost 1 years old, and she tried those mini rice cakes that you guys sell.. And she loved them!!!!!!"

And you should've heard the excitement in the woman's voice.. she was so happy that I called !
She said: "That's great to hear !!!!!!"

And I continued to say: "She ate 3 of them in 15 minutes... and I couldn't believe it.. Because we've been trying so hard to find a finger food that she would eat, so we were so glad when she ate them!"

And the woman replied with: "Thank you soooooo much for calling ! I'll pass that on to our marketing team !!!!!"

And it made me feel so good inside.
I know it sounds kinda lame, but that's the feeling I get when I help people...
Because my hubby works at a call centre, he knows what it's like to be given s*^^ CONSTANTLY...
So he thinks that the woman must have been VERY EXCITED that someone called to actually give NICE feedback !!! :)

This reminded me of a time when I was in high school..
I was in the library studying, and this girl asked her friend if she had a pen, but she said no...
And I turned to her (without even knowing who they were) and offered mine...
And they were really grateful..
And it made me feel so good.. lol..
It may have been a little gesture..
But sometimes, a little gesture does go a long way :)

But anywho, if you're wondering, the baby rice cakes that Alisha tried were:
Heinz Little Kids Mini Rice Cakes (ORIGINAL) :)

And here are pics of Alisha eating them.. LOL

From "I'm a lady!!!!" ....



to....

"These are so yummy!" hahahaha




And here are some other pictures (I've taken several over the last few days) :)

The first two are so cute.. hehe :)

Lawrence sat Alisha down on our bar stool..
And she looked really cute on it..
So I thought I'd take a couple pics !

Haha from comfy...



to... ONE HELL OF A RIDE !!!!! hahahaha



Here's me giving Alisha an arm wrestle two days ago. She won !!!! LOL



Here's Alisha smoking her rusk.. like a cigar ! haha



Oh, and we bought Alisha her first real "big toy" (lol), and she loves it !
It teaches her to stand.. and it has a little bear that jumps around, while singing n stuff. haha

Here is Alisha standing by the toy... nice and calm...



And here is Alisha dancing along to the toy... Take good notice of the blurry Alisha... hahahahahahaha



Oh, and here are two pics of Alisha about to go to sleep today :)
Yep, she sure does love covering her face. hahaha






Hope you enjoyed the pics !!!

But anywho, OMG, Alisha is turning 1 soon !!!!!!!
Her birthday is 5th June, if anyone is wondering :) lol
If Alisha had a Minti account, you could all send her virtual gifts. hahaha just kidding :)

Ok, too much Minti, my bum hurts. lol
Best be going... haha

Love ya's all..
Hope you have a great weekend !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All my love,
Thuy xox

p.s. Hello to Cath (cathbusymum) !!!! Just because she wanted a mention :P hahahahahaha

Alisha is so gorgeous.  I bet she has a cheeky little attitude, she looks cheeky.

I always try to provide feedback whether negative or positive because I think that if they don't know if they're doing a good or bad job how with they improve (if they're bad).  It always makes you feel good when you give great feedback and even better when they appreciate the time you've taken.

Happy birthday for Alisha on 5/6.

Ahhhh...........she's adorable........she makes me smile everytime I see her pics

What a lovely thing to do Thuy. It's funny you cause we're all ready to have a go at someone when we're not happy, but don't think to tell someone when we're happy.

I did something similar for our local council last year when they put in a zebra crossing near our house, as we had to cross a main road to take Zak to school everyday and we would have to wait literally 5-7 minutes before it was clear to cross safely. The crossing made our life so much easier and safer. After they'd finished, I wrote the council a thank you letter and they were so appreciative that they put it in the council newsletter, the local paper and sent me a copy as well. It made me feel like I'd actually made a small difference you know!

Ok....I've rambled on too much now...LOL

Awwwww thanks Amanda, glad Alisha makes you smile !!!!! :)

And that's so true..
If you forget to compliment people on their achievements, then they may not have any source of motivation and just give up completely :)

Awww that's so great, what you did :)
Hehe you must have felt so famous ! lol

Hahahaha nah no way, ramble away...
I'm sure you're used to my rambles too !!!!!! hahahaha

Re: It feels GREAT to be nice !!!!! :)

I totally agree about being nice! Those little things can make such a difference when someone does that for you, and equally it feels so nice when you've made a positive impact on someone. 

Good on you for actually calling even when you thought it was "lame" (I don't think it was lame).

Yep, so true..
There are the occasional dodgy call centre people, but that doesn't mean that people shouldn't take notice of the good ones too :)

Haha yeah, rice cakes are good..
I've been craving some myself. LOL

Alisha is soooooo cute Thuy. I love that toy you have got her. it looks awesome.

mmmmm rice cakes. my kids love them too.

it is hard working in any sort of public place. Chris was always coping crap from when he worked at the fish shop. ppl are so rude some times and dont get that ppl need to do their job. i think they should get paid more cause of all the BS they get. great that ya called them to tall em how much Alisha loves their rice cakes.

Re: It feels GREAT to be nice !!!!! :)

Haha thanks Liz :)
Hehe yeah, it's a great toy... it just makes you wanna dance !!!!! hehe

Haha that's great !
Everytime Alisha eats rice cakes, it makes me crave them. LOL
I almost ate hers today. hahahahahahaha

That is so true...
I think Lawrence is soo underpaid.. becuz he puts up with so much c**p !!!!
Sorry to hear about that happening to Chris though :(
People forget that at the end of the day, these people come home from work and have to deal with the AFTERMATH of what these customers have said to them..
And trust me, it's hard NOT to take the work home with you...

Aww and thanks Liz :)

Hope you and fam are well :)

Re: It feels GREAT to be nice !!!!! :)

Thanks for the pics. As cute as always! Great that you made that ladies day. I actually did it the other day. I went to get petrol after work and as we were lining up to pay I pulled out my fuel voucher. The lady in front said, Oh no I left mine on the bench at home. So I pulled out another one and said, Oh do you want one. She was like Bless you. It was like no worries because every second day I need to run into Coles on my way home and get food so I have heaps but she was so happy about it. She thanked me a lot. That sounds like lame cause you are lucky if you save $2 from a whole tank of fuel. LOL No it is good to make people smile and feel good. You are right! Have a lovely weekend and thanks for visiting my lounge. I will come and bug you sometime don't you worry! Lynette xx

Re: It feels GREAT to be nice !!!!! :)

thanks for the pics i enjoyed them. alisha is certainly growing wow  her  first birthday in 5 days!!

yeah its great when you do something nice and the other person is happy as well.

i was at the supermarket near my work and another worker at the compex rushed in to purchase something but only grabbed a little money.

she was 20cents short the lady told the cashier she would bring it later but i offered her the 20cents she was ever so grateful i was pleased to do it and that saved her from coming back later.

its a great feeling whether it be big or small i always feel good doing it

cheers annie

I was once at university..

So I let her use my ID card.. which had my money on it..
I didn't even know the girl, yet I wanted to do it :)

Yep, I definitely agree...
Whether it's big or small, it makes you feel so great inside :)

Re: It feels GREAT to be nice !!!!! :)

she is so cute! I love reading your blogs, your always so upbeat and larger thatn life, and its a great attitude,really does put a smile on my miserable dial! I know what you men about small gestures. tho my first gesture, i was dirt poor, had no money and no food in the house, i had just spent my last 20 bucks on baby food for my son, and i was walking home and a lady asked if i had anymoney, her children were going to starve that night cause they had nothig. so i gave about a dollar fifty, (my change) and then walked home, and took out rice risotto, it was going to be my dinner spread over the next few nights, walked back and gave it to her. The look of disgust on her face. she took it, but i decided to watch for a while, aand she went and boought ciggys once she had taken enough money. So i starved the rest of the week, but i was willing to do it on good will. It makes me skepital now of who i give gestures to of course. To many nasty people out there...

Re: It feels GREAT to be nice !!!!! :)

Aww Alisha says thanks ! haha

Awww thanks Nat for that..
I'm so glad my blogs make you happy :)
You're so sweet, ya know :)

OMG I can't believe that happened to you..
I know EXACTLY what you mean though...
When I think back to one particular incident 1 and 1/2 years ago, I feel just like you did..
Before Lawrence and I had Alisha, we were on the way to the city..
And we noticed a pregnant mother broken down on the side of the road..
She said she didn't have money for fuel and was going to get a "jerry jan"..
So I offered my money (which was my UNIVERSITY LUNCH and FUEL MONEY)... and we exchanged numbers, so she could send me a money order, with the return of the money..
AND SHE NEVER DID..

I called her and she didn't even pick up...
Me and Lawrence got so annoyed after that, cuz I never even had to give my money away, but I did, out of the goodness of my own heart, and look what she did !

But I guess, it's like this, there are so many dodgy people out there, but if there's only like 10% of good people, then maybe it's worth treating those people good...
Becuz even if some people don't appreciate all the good that you do, you, in your heart, know that you have done the right thing, and are a good person :)

I know exactly how you feel though, Nat, must have sucked so much for you :(
Despite what happened, I do think that you are such a WONDERFUL person... And gestures like that will only be returned in future..
I believe in karma...
And I'm sure you'll get yours, for being the beautiful person you are :)

Love Thuy xox
