....describes three different kinds of happy lives: The pleasant life, in which you fill your life with as many pleasures as you can, the life of engagement, where you find a life in your work, parenting, love and leisure and the meaningful life, which "consists of knowing what your highest strengths are, and using them to belong to and in the service of something larger than you are."

The pursuit of pleasure, research determined, has hardly any contribution to a lasting fulfillment. Instead, pleasure is "the whipped cream and the cherry" that adds a certain sweetness to satisfactory lives founded by the simultaneous pursuit of meaning and engagement.

Secret Garden wedding




My cousin's beautiful wedding set in a lush garden landscape...with golden tiffany chairs and rose petals. I helped with the decorations! Specifically the white-washed birdcages you see in the picture above. So very pinterest inspired! There was a pastor to solemnise the union, a live band playing, and doves.. Okay no doves. But that would have been purrrrfect


I was bridesmaid! And it was the first time I tried to "catch the bouquet". I realise how boring I am.. (and the people of my generation) have become when we all tried to dodge the bouquet instead. HAHA! No one wanted to get married early. 

Disclaimer: it's the exorbitant price tag on a wedding that's so off-putting



 
My mom & sis! Beautiful beautiful ladies. i'm glad god put us tghr, regardless.


 
The gorgeous bride and lucky groom! 
I could have taken a better shot but was too busy being gushing and all. She literally took my breath away when she came out of the room to take the walk. (There is a name for the walk right, the walk down the aisle.) The walk that seals your fate. Haha!


Pseudo-ladylike stance 

Am I really lady-like? I do try. But well, everyone is more interesting with a bit of spunk, yeah? 

More wedding bells ringing soon!!!!
MY FIRST FRIEND TO GET MARRIED IS ONG YANTING

Bad streak ends here

This recent week has been one of the worst weeks in my life.

It's the assignment submission week. And I have been working my arse off to finish work.
Work iz fine, really.
The shitty fuck shit thing is i got hit by some sort of virus (to me it was a virus) - fever, sore throat, pimples headaches. All attacked me at once. The doctor claims its nothing much. Well. I thank God for that but my head is still here. Ohhh and i started the week off with some mighty epic battle on the toilet bowl. *I will remember that day forever* Never want it to happen again.

To top it all off, I dropped a mother fucking 100 bux yesterday.
maybe i had to drop the 100 bux so i wouldnt drop my 100k note in future. hahaha :>

Im determined to not make a big deal out of it. Because im gonnna be super duper rich one day and that is a pea in my huge ass pie i will not even sweat about.

I have never felt more frail. Gonna nurse myself back to health soon. Bye yummy chips you are not worth my sore throat.

If I can learn from a bad experience, it isn't that bad after all.

xxoo xoxoxooxo self comfort much hahahah
