Sorry Blogger :D
nyahahaha second post in a day. I don't care. School is starting soon and now (holidays) I'm sitting around eating cup noodles and being a desperate loner desperate for some company.
Was in a sucky mood (because of all reasons stated above.) and some I can't divulge, so I went icon-hunting on LJ (which is why the title is what it is) to cheer me up!
And so I found this community.


makethemsmile


It's a community where everyone just posts randomly what made them happy that day. And I was reading through the archives, it really made ME happy reading all the things that made happy all over the world. I know all of you probably are thinking now that dear old Rachel has finally done it and gotten herself truly crazy.
Well whatever! :D
I don't care, life is meant to be lived happily. I was in SUCH a PISSED mood once I woke up, it totally sucked. One of the reasons is because I haven't done the chinese worksheet even though I finished the book about a week ago. I just can't squeeeeze anything out, you know. Not like I ever loved Chinese as much as I did LA. Anyway the day was doomed to suck totally so yes then I found that greatest-work-of-internet-since-dawn-of-creation and that really got my spirits up!
You all will probably think it's lame but I don't give a damn, heard that, I'm happy!

my 94 year old great grandmother makes me smile. here are three quick stories:
1. one night i was talking to my brother online, and he messaged me "hey, great grammie is watching football... but she's got the volume at like 85."
2. i asked her what her favorite christmas song was and she replied, "i don't know, i think 'i saw grammie kissing santa clause.'" i asked if she meant "i saw mommy kissing santa clause," and she confirmed.
3. my mother made blueberry muffins, and grammie was eating one, and said "mmm, this tastes like... another" *reaches out and grabs a second muffin.*

I was driving around yesterday & got to an intersection.
there was a guy with a bike & a backpack holding a cardboard sign.
all it said was
"if nothing else, smile."

i got a christmas gift from a guy at work.
the card said, "If there was a snowflake for everytime i think of you, then it would be a very white christmas" and he wrote "You're Beautiful" in five different languages.
he gave me a sweater with his cologne on it. i can't stop smelling it.

Being the fangirl I am and staying up until 4AM to win an ebay auction for a signed Charmed episode script by Holly Marie Combs, Alyssa Milano, Shannen Doherty and Ted King.
And watching The Phantom of the Opera as I do it.
Two fandoms I am fully dedicated to forever.

Sending Christmas cards to everyone you love...
...including the ones who are guaranteed to not write you back. I sent one to David Dellucci, the Backstreet Boys, and Dr. Pepper (well...the Dr. Pepper museum in Waco). It just makes me smile to know I sent out my love to the people and things I love most. :)

buying my dad the book he has been wanting for years makes me smile, especially because it is out of print and has been very hard to get hold of!
i can't wait to see his face on christmas day :)

my trek last night through the cold, creepy park, in hole-y chucks and snow up to my hips. And then he came and helped me carry my stuff then lifted me up and carried me out of the drifts.
He was my knight in ski jacket.

I thought the snowflake one was pretty sweet. And the grandma one. All of them.
The littlest things that make us happy.
I have been listening to Uptown Girl by Westlife about 21 times consecutively now. Cheesy lah I know lah :D

"I love a uptown girl, and when she's tired of all the presents from the uptown boys, she's looking for a downtown man. When she's talking she'll say that she's mine. Uptown girl, uptown girl, uptown girl, my uptown girl, you know I'm in love."

All jumbled up.
Live happy :D I love you all and please do not think that I have gone off my rocker at last.

Last night,
I screamed in the middle of a phone call with Sinyee. A cockroach had crawled into the living room. "DADDDYYYYYYYYY!" My father came running with the tissue box. He got on his hands and knees, picked up The Straits Times instead (because my mother would yell the house down to its foundations if there was a cockroach corpse on our tissue box) and raced the cockroach around the carpet.
Of course, the insect died a horrible squishy death and I continued hopping around in fear but in my heart I was cheering for my hero.
