For the first time, the bus left me. I think it's cause I didnt flag for it to stop. Well, that was silly. I hate my sense of timing, really. :/
Finally I got my share of papparich. It has been open for about two months now and it was finally my turn to have a taste of malaysianess again. Have been begging my sister to bring me there even before it opened. The first time I went, they had a renovation going on and I couldnt get a meal there. :(
As you can see, I live considerably far from the city. Travelling there just for a single meal seems a tad bit absurd if you ask me. But that was exactly what I did yesterday. Hahahahaha! There seemed to be no fate for me to have a bite at papparich ever since it opened. All the agonising disappointments I get every single time I want to have a taste there, finally paid off. Like finally.
Was so excited about getting there for a proper malaysian meal after so long. The moment I saw the menu, I elapsed into a mild spasm. My friend described me as 'a child at the state who had been lost and has finally found my way home'. Truthfully, I did feel like what she described me to be. The menu here had much more variety than the last time I saw it (which was just about two weeks before arriving in melb). Was so tempted to order almost everything, just to have a taste of it. Then I thought about how much I could actually eat, I toned it down a little. Settled with a plate of nasi lemak with chicken rending and sambal prawns. Also ordered a single slice of steamed bread, with kaya but not the butter (I hate butter.). Though honestly the kaya was a little bit disappointing, but its the closest to kaya that I have tasted for such a long time. The nasi lemak was fabulous!! :D Though I am not too sure what was with the cucumber. Hrmmm. Milk tea as my drink of the day! Awesome stuff!! I couldnt get myself to get that perfect concoction of milk tea. Oh the satisfaction!!! <3
If you do know me personally, I get ridiculously happy when I get my share of superbly good food. It literally writes 'insanity' all over my face. :O It's just that moment where I was trully happy that it shows so obviously that it would end up ridiculous to whoever who is there to witness it. Probably would make people go, 'the hell is wrong with this girl? -.-'. Yes, the -.- emoticon was necessary, most of the time. But I really can't help it, I was trully happy then. What more do you want me to do? Pretend I am not happy? HAHAHAHAH. No. I can never do that. I like the way I am, this way. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA! :D
I wonder why am I saying that, but it makes me happy to talk about happy moments whenever I can. It feels like I am enjoying my life to the fullest, just as how I am actually feeling deep inside. Besides, looking at people who are glowing with 'happiness' makes me happy too. :)
Here's something I have not mentioned ever. Was some sort of experiment for me, actually. Never really thought it would actually work out as well as I initially thought;
It was just a random shopping day with my sister, and she told me, "list down three things that makes you happy for that day, just before you sleep. Seemingly, it helps you feel happier." That, is what she told me. It sounded interesting, that 'concept'. It was simple, it sounded like it was plausible, but I understood it in a different perpective: by writing down what makes you happy for that day, it will make you look ridiculous for listing what silly things that could actually make you happy, cause the littlest things could really make me smile like a child... literally. LOL. I am not done with my sentence. It was a way where you actually have realisation on what life was really worth. The list actually makes your life more worthwhile.
I really thought it was crap, ridiculous, unnecessary. But I was depressed then. HAH! And so, I tried. BUT I WAS STUBBORN AS HELL, I WENT UP ALL THE WAY TO 10 PER DAY.
That's alot to keep up with, honestly. But I did, anyhow. It's been a month since I started. For the first week that I was doing it, it got the attention of a handful of my twitter followers, influenced one of them to follow too. I never thought my happy things would actually give that 'happy aura' to others, never. HONESTLY SAYING, I thought I was only being delusional by myself, being happy on my own on twitter. But hey, it's been about a month now! Every night without fail, I will post up ten things that made me happy for that day. I would normally end up sleeping with a smile on my face. Though I have skipped about a day or two where I have been really down. My friends who followed my tweets, would ask where was my daily list of 10 if I had not posted them for the day. Have got other friends who were influenced to start with list of daily happy things too.
HAHAHAHAHAHAH! :)
Happiness can be viral too! Awwwwh. I never really gave that much thought until today, but I guess the self-tested experiment seemed to prove that it has brought positivity in not only my life, but others around me too.
WHEEEEEEEE~~~~ :D
Why not start your list of happy things too? You can start of with the minimal of 3. Simple rules: they have got to be different every single day. Also, you can't think too much about what made you happy : you bought an awesome outfit today, don't think about how expensive it was or how you might not be able to wear it often, SIMPLY SAID: fact that you bought that outfit, makes you happy, then that is YOUR HAPPY MOMENT. ;)
Happy days! <3
