what makes me happy… :)
Do u notice that as u grow older, your friends and people around u seemed to be more busy, more grouchy, more narrow minded, less smiley and less happy.
When we have gatherings, they grumble about their jobs, their spouse, their housework, the government, their children and their in laws (I really hate all these talk! So shallow!?!)
When we try to remember our happy times and all that we came to our minds were the carefree schooldays which was more than 10 years ago…
Sometimes I think I am weird because my priorities are different from my peers. or maybe I am living in my own world.
My priorities
1. Happiness
2. Beauty (just to be very honest only :P)
3. Love
4. Family
5. Friends
6. Career
If u are happy, then u can have beauty then u can have love. When u are happy, your family will also be happy, then friends and colleagues will also like u coz everyone likes to be with happy people then your life will be smooth and so will your career. Get the logic?
What makes me happy everyday?
1. To see my favourite stray cat at my void deck every morning when I go to work and saying ‘Gd Morning, kitty’ to him
2. To call and wake him up every morning and hearing his sleepy voice :)
3. When my bus comes immediately when I step into the bus stop and there is a seat waiting for me.
4. when i can slowly walk to buy breakfast and they are selling my fave hokkien mee.
5. when my weight goes down by 2kg (weighed with clothes on)
6. to pass by the field and see the stray dogs running around freely in the field
7. a good hair day
8. 1 pimple gone!
9. when I smile at the bus driver and he smiles at me back
10. when the food seller calls me ‘xiao mei’ or ‘mei nu’
11. when my colleagues call me ‘mei nu’ (haha! not visually handicapped ok!)
12. when the sky is bright and sunny and there is a nice breeze
13. when its drizzling and makes me feel romantic
14. hearing the toilet cleaner calling me ‘pretty’ (ok! I bribed her)
15. when I know that my boss is on leave/on course :P
16. to hear my sister say ‘Hello!’ in a cheery voice when she gets home from work
17. to see my parents watching tv together on the sofa when I get home from wk and hearing them say ‘da xiao jie’ together.
18. to listen to Jay Chou songs
19. to know that ‘Hyun Bin’ and ‘Michael Scofield’ is still not married.
20. to eat laksa
21. when the hawker remembers that I dun eat bean sprouts and chilli!
22. to hear that someone wants to rob my wardrobe
23. when a cute guy smiles at me
24. when the stall I patronize is selling ‘fried tofu’
25. going shopping during lunchtime
see? I have listed 25 items! So surely, I can hit a few items in a day and that will make me happy for the rest of the day.
So isn’t that easy to be happy?
Being Happy is a choice u can make, its all about looking beyond imperfections.
Happiness is all about being contented with little things in life.
If everyone can be happy, there will be less war, less fights, less quarrels, less divorces, less breakups, less complaints, less sick people, less sadness, less tears.
Gwen once said this to me
“If we cannot always have the best things in life, we can always make the best out of what we already have”
cheerios folks :)
