| With the girls at Sentosa. Sun was damn bright please. |
When I was younger, I always thought that I never have enough. Not enough money, not enough cosmetics, not enough clothes, not enough skincare, not enough random cute girly stuff. Just not enough everything! However, as I grew older, I realized those materialistic items were just secondary. Although I will still hanker after those stuff, but I try to not let it upset me when I didn't manage to possess those items.
I think that being blessed nowadays is...
- to have a roof over your head
My whole house just got renovated recently and it looks pretty awesome to me. Pops must have spent a bomb and I truly appreciate it although I am annoyed with his constant nagging during the renovation period. I love my room even more now cuz it looks new. Although it is still kinda messy, but definitely not as messy as BEFORE. Hahha. And with fats absent, my new room is just a place of sanctuary for me everytime I'm home. SUPER LOVE. Fats go away and never come back please thanks!

| Sneak preview of my living room! Now my piano is placed right in front of the main door, so I cannot anyhow play nonsense cuz whole world can see me if they walked past. Hahha. And for those who have visited my house before, you will know that the orientation has changed. So it seems like we have a bigger living room space. =) |
- to have enough to eat and never have to go hungry
I live to eat. I loveeee food like you don't even know. When I was younger, I was damn skinny cuz I hardly ever eat. I just don't seem to enjoy food, I eat to live. Goodness, I was missing out on so much! While growing up, my appetite increased, I'm not sure due to what reason, but it just did. Which is why I gained so much weight and look like a pig sometimes. Hahhaha. Anyways, there was not a day where I had to go hungry. Unless I decided to starve myself. There is always food ready on the table when I'm home so I never have to worry about my meals. Appreciate momsie for cooking of course. Less than 3.

| Korean buffet with Bra and Lijun. So much good food!! |
 |
| Home-made pasta which tasted almost like restaurant standard by my aunt! Enjoyed this dish very much!!! |
 |
| Churros from Max Brenner! SO YUMMY I ACTUALLY LICKED THE CHOCOLATE BOWL CLEAN. But so expensive at the same time, so eat once is enough for now. Hahha. |
 |
| Of course, my new kitchen where momsie always cook up a yummy storm heh. |
- to have enough clothes to wear
I definitely got this covered. I don't just have enough, I have too much! Hahha. Actually I don't feel that I have too much, cuz many a times, I still can't find things to wear! That's the problem with girls isn't it. We don't like to wear a certain piece of clothing too many times. So we have to keep buying new clothes which is really unhealthy for my pocket. I'm lucky enough that my friends and relatives pass down their clothes to me many times, which saves me money. I don't mind hand-me-downs. On the contrary, I LOVE EMMMM! I don't understand why some people feel that wearing other people's clothing is "degrading" themselves. Whatever lah. As long as I'm happyyyy! And I think I need a bigger wardrobe. I still have one bag of clothes not packed into my cupboard yet. TOO SMALL LE LAHHH.
- to have enough money to let you spend on frivolous items from time to time
I cannot agree more. This is how my room gets so messy. Cuz I always can't seem to find space to stash them! Pops is forever complaining how he can never understand why I have so much stuff. And I just say cuz I'm a girl! Of course he will never understand. Pffft. But I have since learnt to cut down on buying frivolous items after my huge paycut last year, Boohooo. Feeling so broke nowadays, can't wait for August to come!
- to have your loved ones with you
all healthy of course. Health is really wealth when you are growing older. Pops is 60 this year and actually, come to think of it, that is really very not young anymore! Momsie is in her 50s which is a little bit younger, but sooner or later, age will catch up with her. You know how when you were young, you will think of your parents as super parents. That they will be around to hold up the sky when it falls on you. It is definitely hard to imagine life without them. I still cannot imagine it. But eventually, you know that day will come and you just have to live with it.
Over the past few years, friends come and go. I have lost some but I have also gained some, so I'm really grateful for that. Friends forever is a term we say it all the time. But how many friends can really last forever? I can only say that I don't know. So instead of harping on the forever, we should just cherish the now. Even if your best friends now will become almost strangers years later, at least you guys have had awesome memories together. And THAT is gonna last forever. =)
- to be able to feel happiness over the little things in life
I get happy pretty easily nowadays. And I have learnt how to appreciate the little things, although I still have a long way to go. Things like getting a new wallpaper in my phone can make me squeal with delight for days. Hahhaa.
 |
| This is the current phone wallpaper that is so preets!!! |
If you ask me a few years back, am I contented with my life, I would probably say not really. But if you ask me now, I will say Yes without much hesitation. I mean there are definitely things that can be improved in my life, but the essentials are covered already, so there's nothing much I can complain about.
So yeah. Just wanted to remind myself to always count my blessings. I know it's sucha cliche term, but it is so true! Whenever you are feeling less than worthy, just remember to check off the things that you have which many other unfortunate people don't.
