Happiness sneaks through a door you didn't know you left open.

He fetched me at 0545 hours, and off we went to East Coast Park, to witness sunrise. It was cloudy yesterday, we only managed to catch a glimpse of the bluish yellow horizon beneath the thick clouds. The southern part of the island was obviously expecting showers, with black clouds clumping up the skies... Sitting there on the waterbreaker, with him, made me realise of the things I haven't done yet. Sweet little indulging things in life. Moments we have always taken for granted, which passed us by. Sunny day it was, with clouds moving beautifully on top of our heads, Nabil and I decided to turn it into a very fulfilling day.. Had a little nifty breakfast at Ya Kun, which nabil was dying to sample from weeks before. The day passed ahead as he and I went driving around.... Then we finally ended it with watching an enriching short documentary "Mystery of The Niles" at Omni Theatre, Singapore Science Centre. This brings me to marking down a few things... Happiness, to farhana, is: 1. Falling in love - you know who you are. 2. Laughing so hard your face hurts. 3. Discovering true friendships. 4. Witnessing Fork Concepts grow. 5. A special glance. 6. Receiving mails 7. Taking a drive on a long straight pretty road. 8. Hearing your favourite song on the radio. 9. Lying in bed listening to the rain outside. 10. Being able to afford buying your family expensive gifts. 11. Chocolate milkshake ... (or vanilla ... or strawberry!) 12. A bubble bath. 13. Giggling. 14. A good conversation. 15. The beach - i mean REAL beach, like Bali or Phuket. 16. Finding a $50 note I stuffed in the back pocket of my denim skirt last week. 17. Laughing at yourself. 18. Eye contact with a hot member of the opposite sex. 19. Midnight phone calls that last for hours. 20. Running through sprinklers. 21. Laughing for absolutely no reason at all. 22. Having someone tell you that you're beautiful/good looking. 23. Laughing at an inside joke. 24. Friends - FOAM. 25. Accidentally overhearing someone say something nice about you. 26. Waking up and realizing you still have a few hours left to sleep. 27. Your first kiss (either the very first or with a new partner). 28. Making new friends or spending time with old ones. 29. Playing with a new cat/rabbit. 30. Having someone play with your hair. 31. Sweet dreams. 32. Hot chocolate. 33. Road trips with friends. 34. Swinging on swings. 35. Making eye contact with a cute stranger. 36. Making chocolate chip cookies (and eating them...!). 37. Having your friends send you homemade cookies. 38. Holding hands with someone you care about. 39. Running into an old friend and realizing that some things (good or bad) never change. 40. Watching the expression on someone's face as they open a much-desired present from you. 41. Watching the sunrise. 42. Getting out of bed every morning and being grateful for another beautiful day. 43. Knowing that somebody misses you. 44. Getting a hug from someone you care about deeply. 45. Knowing you've done the right thing, no matter what other people think.
