If someone has done something nice for you, no matter how big or small, take time out on 13 November to present the person with a yellow gerbera daisy, to say a big ‘thank you’ to him or her! You can also gather a few of your friends or colleagues to surprise the person with a ‘Kindness Ambush’. This group demonstration of appreciation can involve any number of people with each presenting a daisy to the person.

To make it even easier to say ‘thank you’, SKM volunteers will be giving out free daisies on 13 November. You can also pick up a stalk of flower from selected retail and dining outlets.

This brought back old memories.

I was actually awarded a Merit Award by the Singapore Courtesy Council when I was in Secondary One!

I must have been such a wonderful girl when I was younger.

I kept the school newsletter too - Read what I wrote!

Looking back, that really sounded quite LAME. Haha!

Oh well, I was only 13 years old then.

Ok, enough of me!

Let's start giving out yellow gerbera daisy to those who have done something nice to us!

Flowers Make Her Day
The Straits Times - 04 November 2009

Cleaner Gan Beet Phang, 60, was greeted on Tuesday with a bunch of 35 cheery yellow gerberas from colleagues who wanted to thank her for being kind and helpful.

'I've been working for 13 years and this is the first time I've received so many flowers,' said the happy mother of three, who clears tables at Suntec's food court.

If the Singapore Kindness Movement (SKM) has its way, many more people will get floral tributes on World Kindness Day next week. It has 45,000 daisies to give away that day to those who want a flower to give to a kind person. The blooms will be distributed at more than 60 venues, including Orchard Road and Raffles Place.

The kindness movement took off here in 1997; World Kindness Day has been observed in several countries since 1998.

That day, Nov 13, will also be marked by pupils at 31 primary schools, who will make fold-it- yourself paper flowers to give away.

Aware of cynics who pooh-pooh the idea of promoting kindness, SKM general manager Teh Thien Yew declared that the movement is here to stay, and it will support, in any way it can, efforts to spread a little graciousness, even if these are small gestures.
