so this is how happy is suppose to be

time should pause for me.
this mustn't end too soon.
this light-headedness. this smile. this cosy couch i'm on. this music playing in the background.
i won't ask for more, except for one more endless moment like this.
i could go on like this forever...could even go on an empty stomach. damn, i'll be too busy indulging in goodness to have to get up and find food.

but i just had to share this euphoric moment with you here...
hmm...isn't it amazing what a good book can do to a person?

*smiles*
i'm grateful for days like this.

this one small part of my life called contentment

half the day has just passed here in london but it's one of the nicest half-day already.

why?

had the food i've been craving for - gold mine duck rice...mmmm yummz..taste still ingers in my mouth...*burp*...mmm...i can grow fat with this indulgence...

will i ever get sick of it if i get to have duck rice everyday? i don't know about this. but i guess you appreciate the things more when you have to work hard for it, eg: having to walk an approximate-13-tiresome-hours to finally get to enjoy a nice huge portion of tender succulent 'ngap-pei' (duck leg) with rice...*slurp*..makes me salivate just typing it..sigh, why have i never snapped a picture of this awesome meal? i'll try to do it next time around...when my mind manages to slot in 'take a picture' over 'savour the meal now' on its priority to-do list.

apart from the duck rice, the before and after serving of a bowl of pork rib steamed soup and a plate of sweet and juicy cut oranges makes the 3-courses meal a to-die-for meal. i could walk several more 13hours...

after filling up a more than contented tummy, went for a walk at hyde park. the weather was GREAT. cloudy skies + cool breeze + the lush green and bright blue combination of colors makes me wanna sing and skip along like a child.

along the way, something caught my attention. it was a profound sound made by this 13-feet tall tree as its leaves ruffled in the strong wind. being medium in size, the sound was indeed thunderous..like a forest within a single tree. i had to stop in my step to check it out. hmmm, wish i could share this on video but unfortunately, i got too carried away.

apparently, nice weather makes happy people. i could sit in this soul soothing sunshine for hours taking in this naive beauty of nature.

so there you go, yummy duck rice and a nice walk in the park (and how could i forget, a great company cum camera man)...makes half my day.
i'm grateful for life.

- more picture updates soon -
