In search of happiness.. all of us are, I think.

What makes you happy?

What makes me happy?

It makes me happy when I see Megan win her competition (ok, 3rd, but at least still got placing). It makes me happy, when she smiles. It makes me happy when she enjoys herself. It makes me happy when she makes beautiful cards for me. It makes me happy when she gives me little presents for no rhyme or reason whatever. It makes me happy when she took time off to spend my 18th birthday with me. It makes me happy, when she sends me random smses full of "I love you"s. It makes me happy, that she asks for my opinion regarding issues and problems in her life. It makes me happy when she says I'm her best friend! It makes me happy, when we have those random chats, be it starbucks or ikea or whatever. Place doesn't matter. It makes me happy, when I make her happy. It makes me happy to see her happy. Megan makes me happy!

It makes me happy, when Alex has a life that he's happy with. (I'm not saying he has no life!) It makes me happy when he invited me over to play his playstation! It makes me happy when he brings me to the Singapore Swimming Club for dinner, pool, swimming, bowling, LAN, etc. OH YA, the JACUZZI! It makes me happy, when he downs that mug of beer, smacks his lips, orders another one and smiles. It makes me happy, when he invites me to share in his life of sitting at al fresco bars listening to live music. It makes me happy when we have long, 5 hour talks in the wee hours of the morning about random stuff, crazy stuff, the stuff of dreams.. It makes me happy when he shares his business plan with me, and tells me the earnings he got from it. It makes me happy when he shares his worries with me, cos he trusts me. It makes me happy when we have those "smash those glass bottles" sessions. It makes me happy when he listens to my whining, picks up my calls when I'm crying like a baby, etc. It makes me happy, when he organises my 18th birthday bash and dinner. (He more or less paid for everything, plus gave me a crumpler from the most expensive range) It makes me happy when he says "You are the blood brother I should have had." It makes me happy, when he asks me out for breakfast on Sunday mornings. It makes me happy when he turns down the air-con cos I'm cold, and throws a sweater/blanket over me. It makes me happy when he cooks me supper. It makes me happy when he recommends good movies that he knows I would like. It makes me happy just to hang out with him. Alex makes me happy!

It makes me happy, when Eugene gives me a call out of the blue, just to talk. It makes me happy when he covers for me when I'm absent from school. It makes me happy, when he recommends good music to me. It makes me happy when he jokes around and lightens up the atmosphere. It makes me happy when we have our "Eh, look! 10 o'clock. How much? eh... 5/10? you? So low! At least got 6/10 la.." It makes me happy when he sacrifices the privileges of the oac room and slacks in the hot stairwell with me. It makes me happy when he talks to me about oac stuff even though I got kicked, cos he knows I'm still interested in the going-ons. It makes me happy when we have a Worms 2 competition on his psp. It makes me happy that he does his best not to get angry with me even though I'm being an ass and deserve to get shredded to bits. It makes me happy that he shares his thoughts on God, religion, home, school, etc. It makes me happy when he tells me, "no matter what, you will always be my brother." It makes me happy, when he introduces me to his friends, like Yen Kheng, Nicholas, (there's one more.. play DOTA wan.. oops, forgot his name ^^'') [his name is Kenneth. Yao reminded me. haha!] It makes me happy, when he asks if I'm okay. It makes me happy, when we run to the bedok jetty in the wee hours of the morning. It makes me happy to just sit by the poolside and talk about random stuff. It makes me happy, that he chiongs down from oac to spend my 18th birthday with me. It makes me happy when he is frank and honest with me. Eugene makes me happy!

It makes me happy, when daddy shades me from the harsh world. It makes me happy, when daddy talks to me like a best friend. It makes me happy when daddy shares with me about his life, his thoughts, his plans for the future. It makes me happy when daddy is supportive of my dreams. It makes me happy cos my daddy is always nice to my friends. It makes me happy when daddy allows Alex to accompany us for lunch and tea on Sundays after church. It makes me happy when daddy helps me with my finances. It makes me happy when I know I can run to daddy whenever I've had a bad day. (he was the only one I could run to after being kicked from oac. I was so sad..) It makes me happy when he brings me around Singapore to see all the places that I would never have seen. It makes me happy when we go on little adventures to explore places for good food. It makes me happy, when daddy never chases me away, never throws his temper at me. It makes me happy when daddy gives me dreams that I have never thought possible before. It makes me happy that he suggested going backpacking at the end of the year in Japan! It makes me happy when he went out for coffee and supper with me when he just got back from over 5 hours of driving home from Malaysia and was damn damn tired. He always pays for everything! omg, feel so bad.. It makes me happy when he calls me to encourage me. It makes me happy when he tells me, "no matter what, I have never ever regretted having you and your sisters in my life." It makes me happy when he randomly calls and says "I love you!" I love him so very, very much! Daddy makes me happy!

It makes me happy when my sisters, Sarah and Samantha, look up to me, do my share of the housework (oops) play with me, endure my madness, tickle me, punch me, joke with me, cry with me, laugh with me, hug me, ask me questions, scream in my ear, cook me food, give me sweets, talk about the boys in class, about music, and say "oyatsumi! oniisama!", "ohaiyo gozaimas!", "nani?", "aishiteru!" It makes me happy when they are happy to see me when I come back from a really crappy day at school. It makes me happy when I can wash their dishes. It makes me happy when I can cook for them. It makes me happy that they are happy! I love them so very much!

The list goes on.. New things will keep being added, it never ends.. I am so very blessed. They have made this life meaningful, bearable, even enjoyable.
