Let me enlighten. Me and my gf are watching a movie at Cathay Handy Road (we're watching Beowulf - don't like it...too CG-ish). She wanted to draw some cash from the nearby ATM machine, so I tagged along. While she's doing her stuff, I saw a slip of receipt that is on top of the machine. Picking it up, I remarked to my gf that this person is quite a poor thing. After withdrawing $20 from his/her account, he/she is left with only $3.35.
My gf suggested transferring $10 to this poor soul to tide him/her over :) I thought about it for a while and thought why not. When I went home, I transferred $10 to that person and typed "Merry Xmas", with the amount to be transferred over on the eve of Christmas this year.
In the true spirit of Amelie Poulain, we spread a little happiness to another person. I've never done this before. Maybe you should too :) Pay it forward, literally, haha

Haha, interestingly, I did a little fun survey about what kind of mythological creature I am. Turns out I'm a centaur :) At least I'm not chimera or medusa, haha
| You Are a Centaur |
 In general, you are a very cautious and reserved person. However, you are also warm hearted, and you enjoy helping others in practical ways. You are a great teacher, and you are really good at helping people get their lives in order. You are very intuitive, and you go with your gut. You make good decisions easily. |

Hi lp,
Wow can't believe you actually did that?! Think the lucky soul will be very surprised come this X'mas! On the other hand, will this person even notice the additional $10??!!
Nontheless, Thanks for the little effort in making this a better world!

Hi fishman and pau,
It's a moment of insanity that overides all the normal workings of a rational mind. I always think that in this world, rationality/logic need not be the only way to base one's decisions upon.
Though I'm normally sane and pretty rational (not to mention practical - maybe a hint of stingyness), I welcomed this feeling of pure madness in my life. Perhaps a shred of hopeless romantic can still be found in my bones afterall :)
Do something that surprises you everyday, ya?
Ha!
That's such a nice thing to do.
I wonder what it'd be if it turns out the other person has a secondary bank account filled with unimaginable riches though
