Family, chocolate, ice-cream… a lot actually. That’s why life is worth living.

The best thing is to wake up and say Thank you God for a new day!

I actually hate my first kiss. It sucked cos he made my head bumped on the wall! However the second kiss (from the different guy, of course
) was so much better! LOLz.

Seeing the innocent happiness of a baby?
Blogging?
Cooking a great meal for all to enjoy?
Lazing around?
Trying new things?
Sleep… Luxurious, rejuvinating sleep…

The best things are nearest:
breath in your nostrils,
light in your eyes,
flowers at your feet,
duties at your hand,
the path of God just before you.
