Road to Happiness

Am happy to pack HB’s lunches for the entire week although his office is only 10 mins drive away from home and can come back for mouth-drooling home-cooked food everyday. And I know that there is some philosophical theory that it is important not to take meals by oneself - part of a homosapien’s overall well being & happiness roadmap. But I am starting to get used to have meals by myself.

When I was in my previous job, we would always arrange for lunch appointments with our “lunch kakis” everyday, first thing in the morning! MSN messages would be flying around asking “Lunch on today?” I feel that it’s more of a girl thing, in case you guys are wondering what’s wrong with us. There is this sense of ‘security’ & we can concentrate more on work when we know that we have company during lunch. HB doesn’t really understand it though. In fact, lunch is THE time to bond with peers (so definitely not a time to munch with boss, unless you have a close relationship with thy). We’d eat and eager to find out gossips on one another’s amazing life experiences such as shopping sales location, latest movies updates, confusing relationship issues and even juicy family stories. Sometimes we even have short coffee breaks to inject some endorphins into our stressed-out minds. Of course, there are some of us who prefer to have lunch alone and run errands aka shopping (whether is it for kids, grocery, bills payment) in the shortest possible time. Long time ago, I used to have quick lunches with a colleague and we would squeeze in just enough time for a game of pool. Those were the happy times that I would treasure in my heart forever.

Life is short and we should be happy & also make those around us happy, not miserable. Some psycho people just have the opposite mentality. These garbage-crappies seem to get extremely high when they make people cry, worried, guilty, frightened and insecure. Perhaps they themselves have these feelings deep inside their heart and thus are looking for people to share their sentiments & offload! As much as we try to change their mentality, it seems almost impossible to intrude into their selfish world. They seem to be full of hatred for themselves & as a result, others. The best thing to do when you meet these crappies is not to get yourself trapped in their world. You can either fight with them or run as far away from them as possible. And if you succeed, this conscious-lacking bunch will avoid you as if you’re a ghost or have contracted some incurable contagious disease! That is the safest form of force field built.

You know sometimes, a sudden depression creeps up and you just can’t help thinking that you’re the lousiest person in the universe & shut yourself from the rest of the world. It’s fine to have this feeling once in a blue moon as no one can be happy all the time. But its important to always count your blessings & you will feel happier. Even if you don’t feel like smiling, faking a smile can actually make you feel better too!
