the true happiness..

I was walking with my friend- Garbriel in the skypark (park at top floor of shopping complex) of VIVO city (my all time favourite mall in the whole small little island of Singapore) and noticed many children playing in the less than 15 cm deep water pool which has no slides or whatsoever.. Just a pool of water.. Thats it.. The children were happy.. Splashing water to each other no matter they know each other or not.. The joy on thier faces are simply priceless..
.
I was wondering.. When in the phase of us growing up, we stop treasuring all the small small little things that happened in our life? Be it a shallow pool of water, or just a 5 cent sweet from the candy store that our neighbour give us, we were happy when we were little children.. But now? As we mature and get ourselves involved in the materialistic concrete jungle of the world, we bacame less sensitive to the tiny things around us and we began to be more ambituous in life. The toy that comes free in a box with a RM1 chocolate that we bought from the stalls at the street and doraemon no longer bring a smile as big as it was now.. Now, a PS3 or a digital camera or a car or even a LV bag makes us more contented in life.. Do all these really matter? Even if we get them, we will set a higher goal and it will be never ending..
.
Think about it? Are you too ambituos that you have ignored the little things in your life? Sometimes life is not all about getting what the world thinks is best for us human race.. But is about what you care and love most.. Material things always go out of fashion but the things that money cannot buy are just priceless.. TRY TO BE MORE SENSITIVE about the things and people around you and soon, you will realise you can be as happy as those little kids I saw in the skypark..
.
Now, the thing that can make me on top of the world is the chance to go back home.. My home sweet home in the land of Bah Kut Teh.. :-)

p/s: Just came back from Auckland NZ yesterday night.. It was quite a good experience.. Will blog bout it soon when i got the time.. haha.. Adios!
