Happiness. x)

Yes, what exactly does it mean to you?

I realise that most of the time people blog about stuff
they're unhappy about to whine & complain.

To be fair, they call it their outlet to
funnel their unhappiness and channel their sorrow.

I do that too.

In fact I do it rather often.

I feel a great change of heart tonight
and I really want to deviate from the
usual nonsencial grudges and complains we hold and write about.

I wrote a little poem like thing here
which I shall title simply as
The Simple Happiness.


The Simple Happiness

Some spend a lifetime yet never seek what they yearn.

Some know their purpose from whence they're born.

Others grope blindly in the dark & in an instant grasp it all.

In a beautiful instant, grasp it all.

I suppose this is what happiness means. x)

To look beyond the frontier
and delve into the heart of it all,
to know you're beautiful, one, the same
and yet all so different in many beautiful ways.

Its a celebratory act of life;
to know you're different, yet also as similar,
but loved just the same.

To know how to Love & appreciate yourself
and then extend the same for all around.

Life's beautiful, you see,
and just as short as the miracle
beauty spectre of a darting star in the skies.

It's all there in its glorious splendor.

& it only happens,
IF you choose to see it. xD


The whole of the poem is to remind you
that perhaps the so-called elusive happiness
can very easily be found and obtained
by looking into yourself to fulfil your soul urges.

I guess I would define soul urges ideas
the need to Love and be Loved. (:

(I also played with the ideas of "greatness thrust upon them".)

Tell me which human being doesn't need that?

It's just a fundamental and natural human
instinct, isn't it?

Yes, why all these talk about happiness?

(Which pretty much isn't a subject people talk
about often with much gusto and optimism strangely.)

I've been reading "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne.
And it is by far,
the MOST INSPIRATIONAL
INSPIRATIONAL BOOK
I've read. xD

Seriously, you might ask.

Yes, seriously Seriously. xp

If I could afford it,
I'd buy a book each for all my friends. (:

(But, of course, I can't.)

So do get it yourself, okay? ;p

Well, The Secret may be familiar and cliched in some ways,
but it does serve it's purpose to remind & guide us.

I'm stil learning how to apply The Secret
& knowing my wishes will be fulfilled. (:

I did something that made me feel all warm & fuzzy today
and really genuinely happy. x)

I spent an evening at the Serangoon Gardens with Jules today.

What made it so special, you might ask?

I decided to organise a small mini-impromptu foodie fiesta
to celebrate Jules's first day of school tomorrow.

I guess the sad part was that
Roslin and Wan Ting couldn't join us,
but it's also fine cuz...
It's good to have some one-on-one downtime with people too. (:

We pigged out with all our favourites at Chomps,
sambal stingray, sugar cane, chicken wing,
chilli sotong and rojak.

Then we headed to our favourite Coffee Bean outlet
at Gardens, talked and laughed the night through.

I gave her a small (mushy >.<) note that I've written

and her favourite cadbury black forest chocs.

I just wanted to get her hyped up for James Cook Uni,
let her know its fine wherever she goes
and that her friends still care very much for her. x))

I don't know why I did what I did,
but I really wanted to
and I'm glad I did. (:

Happiness to me means

being able to Love and appreciate yourself

and in turn knowing how to extend that to others

to bring a smile to their faces too.

I think I might just burst of pure genuine giddy joy tonight soon. (:

Good night and may you find what's the Happiness you want
when you look upon the depths of your (not-so) grubby soul! ;p


ps: It's because of Moments like this that
drives me to pursue a career in
teaching, counselling and social work. x))
