A couple of nights ago, while enjoying my supper of sausage and chips at a neighbourhood hangout, one of my housemates looked at me and started laughing. Bewildered, I asked him why?

He said that I look content – happy with a simple meal of sausage and chips. I then said something along the lines of, “But I am happy. Right at this very moment, while enjoying this dayum good meal, life is good” and continued pigging out.

Thinking about it, not many of my friends are happy with what they have. Many whom I meet up with are constantly complaining about their job/spouses/partners/life in general. And I find that sad. Sad that not many people look at their glass half full, most choosing to look at it half empty instead.

Of course, it’s not easy looking at life positively at times. But I truly believe that ones life is how one chooses to view it.

That’s why I choose to tokkok and make jokes whenever I meet up with my friends (besides the fact that I’m an ignoramus and don’t know much about current world affairs to hold a serious conversation :p), it is truly gratifying to get people laughing (even if sometimes it’s at my expense -____-”).

Now don’t think all my friends are negative okay? I do have positive friends as well. One of them believes in the power of affirmation and after hearing what she had to say about it, I believe it’s true.

When one constantly thinks positive and work their way towards their goal, good things start happening and goals are achieved in time. Counting your blessings and being grateful for the simple pleasures in life is a good way to start no? Bunch of mumbo jumbo you reckon? To each his own, to each his own.

So, why am I suddenly being so introspective?

Well, it’s a Saturday night, no one’s at the house and I just spent the most wonderful time contemplating life with someone I picked up from Alexis earlier tonight.

Yes, I just finished my hot date with a tiramisu and man, it’s these simple pleasures in life which makes me feel blessed :) *burp*

To my friends who are stressed out about work, lets be glad that in these times of recession, we still have a roof over our heads, food in our tummys and loved ones (or in my case, yummy tiramisu) by our side.

May you (and I!) have a wonderful week ahead! *burps again* Ahhhhh, life is good :) *waddles off to bed with a happy tummy*

Edited on Feb 23, 0015 hours: I was just clearing out some pictures from my phone and guess what I found? More food pictures! Yummm! Excuse the quality of the pics, my camphone isn’t that great ;p

Mango loh dessert from KTZ. The mangoes were yummy! It’s so refreshing to have this on a humid night :D

Staple breakfast for me when I’m in KK ;) Ngau chap with iced Milo!

Cupcakes from Bits & Bites, Wisma Merdeka. They’re not too sweet, just nice and yes, I finished all of this by myself :p

Pavlova above and tiramisu below from (where else?) Alexis. Ok, I’ve noticed that the service at BSC sucks big time, the one at the Gardens is average and the one at Bangsar is awesome in comparison ;p
