happiness

when you're still young, you think that stuff and people can make you happy...
which probably explains why most of our birthday wishes and christmas wish lists mostly encompass stuff that we hope people would give us...
i used to want an mp3 player, a new handphone, a digi cam, a lap top, new shoes, clothes... cool stuff that i still wish i could get for birthdays and christmases..haha...
but then as i discovered when i first got my first phone, that fun stuff stays fun... only for a while... some longer than others but eventually, the novelty fades and stuff just remains... stuff...
so as i get older... i begin to have new wish lists for birthdays and christmases...
things like... dinner with family and friends at home, mamak to talk over stuff, simply put... just time to spend with ppl close to my heart...
haha, not that i would reject stuff from the first list, or not that stuff from the first list aren't wanted anymore... but... well, sometimes what you want is just some time to "be" instead of time to "do"...

oh yeah, the reason for this post i cos i'm really looking forward to the singapore trip that my family is taking over the weekend for my bro's graduation... strange huh? i'm so looking forward to a weekend away from church... in fact, i think looking forward to this holiday after renal today beats any "post-exam" cc celebration i've looked to ever...
heh, maybe i'm just getting old...
