Donch Worry

Be happy. So 3-Seconder has commanded. :D

Seriously, we has mulled over it for days, gal, and we cannot think of any specific overly-joyous happy moments here. But then again we're really a simple person with few demands, lots of wants and probably not that much needs.

Although...reflecting back maybe our happiness tended to be rather materialistic. :S

When we finally bombed on our iPod. We're happy to latch ourselves on a new book. When we were very much surprised with a PS2 for a birthday present 3 years back from the guys. When we get to meet up with old friends for a vacation trip with not much planned save games, food and company. When you say nothing at all Oops Ronan Keating moment. When we hear a splendid performance. Or watching musicals/plays on our list. Dancing to BodyJam.

Maybe that's because we haven't started worrying about stuff that we ought to, like: Can we afford a car and/or house? Are we secure about our job? What kind of changes are coming? Well, one factor would be our changing jobs. Given in our previous job we come up with emo stuff instead. Nowadays we just blab in prose that's straight off the head - you won't find stuff like how Paul or NJAPF puts it.

Anyways...

Happiest moments...will go to our year in Glasgow/UK. The whole year. One year (and a bit) of pure freedom (oh well as far as freedom can go while we were still dependant on the parents), with cold clear air (and occasional showers and strong winds), when Virgin/HMV/Game had their full-refund policy, where we had our own rooms, shared with housemates we've known for ages, where a birthday party could mean plenty of batchmates showing up, where walking wasn't much of a problem (we would still complain about walking all the way to Sauchiehall Street tho').

You know it's bad when reminders brings out pangs of loss, especially our most recent reminder was during WeeP's wedding and senior-Hodge made this music video of areas around James Blyth Court and the Uni of Strathclyde again...

So whenever we needs a perk up, there's always little clips we'll try to remember. One is sitting in our room, Nissin instant noodles with crabsticks on our table, the laptop playing Azumanga Daioh...us just passing time away. In Borders, sipping a Strawberries and Cream Frappucino while reading some novel...just killing time (and finishing a book too). Making pizza (not the round 12" ones mind) for pot-luck birthdays. Not managing to ski but did get to snowboard in Glenshee.

But we thinks, if you can't think of a happy time listen to this and ponder. :D



Nah, shan't put lyrics this time.

But to pass the baton on, here's them we'd like to know of their happy moments (we can only hope that innocence prevails):
William, and we're wondering if it somehow becomes a food blog or not.
(B/W)ill, always good to hear from you.
Legolas, so we can see the R post (you managed Q post rather well!).
Sam, because you were bored. :D
QR, we wonder if it's the kind that'll have us shutting our eyes in embarassment.
There: that ought to be enough for it to spread.

Aren't study time is the happiest moment? And we're still cursing on the lecturers, notes and exams :p

3-Seconder said...

Yeah. Glasgow was one happy year, to be semi-independent and carefree. Sobbies!!!!!

Notice a lot of us have our happy moments surrounding over material stuff, so Janvier, you're not alone.

In my definition, you NOT materialistic lah :)

I miss Glasgow! Had some good times there! Most can never be happy without any money, so materialism is to some extent an innate part of human nature...:)

Janvier said...

Sam: And now that you've gotten your seXBox 360 to add to the happiness!

QR: It's your happy moments mah. :D

David The Man: Ah. Our senior then!

Jason: Well probably the times we do everything except study, heh.

3-Seconder: Yay! But then again your materials and our materials don't come under the same category mah...well except the handphones.

Hrugaar: You were en vacance so enjoy it! :D You still have happy moments to fall back on ru, tisn't as if there's none now.

Ezra: Because soon it'll come to you, like a shark. :P

NJAPF: Well, gotta make sure there's a mixed source of happiness then! :D
