My Expression!! My Life!!

So February’s come to a close … It’s already 2 months into 2014 and I get this feeling that this year is flying by so fast! :) :) And my Happy Days Challenge is drawing short breaths and trying its level best to stay alive… It’s doing slightly better (only slightly though!) in the Instagram space… At least I am posting random pictures there on and off, in spite of not writing anything here… Can you believe this? In a span of 2 months (maybe a few days less), I have only posted for 21 days… Very bad. Very bad.  I know! :) But you know what I realized.. One – it’s very very difficult to be happy every day. Two – it’s very very difficult to find and figure out if and what makes you happy every day. This is ongoing. Some days are awesome and you find that you wake up with a smile on your face, a song in your heart and a lilt to your step … and on others you wake up looking like something the cat dragged in, all weary and tired and even if you have slept ...

Today’s happiness quota was fulfilled by attending this Chinese lunch at the Crystal Jade restaurant with the office colleagues. Singapore, as you all know, is a healthy mix of diverse cultures and just recently celebrated the Lunar New Year with all gung-ho. This year is the Year of the Horse and all around the place; you could see cutouts and miniature red and gold horses in a galloping frenzy, especially around the Chinatown area here. You can read more about the Chinese New Year / Lunar New Year here. Coming back to the topic of today’s lunch – before the lunch, we started out by commending the New Year with the “traditional Lo Hei”, also known as “Prosperity Toss.” Yusheng (same thing in Chinese) is often served as part of a multi-dish dinner, usually as the appetizer due to its symbolism of "good luck" for the New Year. These are the ingredients used and this is the meaning of the usage of each ingredient – directly and blatantly copied from Wikipedia. Whe...

Right!! 15 days since my last post on the 100 happy days challenge! If you count today as well too!! But then I am going to post today (as you can well see) so that means that effectively its only 14 days. And I am going to post about the last 3 days which is Friday, Saturday and Sunday (Jan 31, Feb 1 and Feb 2) which means I only missed the last 11 days!! And since I am posting for the last 3 days today and there will be no post for today... It means I missed 12 days.. Or not? :-/  Did you get my math? You didn’t? Never mind neither did I!!! I got confused myself... Oh well! I never was any good at math!!! :D :D So let’s just say, I missed the last 2 weeks, and I am re-kick starting (if that’s a word!!) the challenge again!! Attempt number 2!! Bring it on!! Before you ask me why I missed the last few days… I can cite any number of reasons… laziness, bad mood, lots of work, lack of time, no energy, etc etc… but it all boils down to the one thing that I...
