The Best Things in Life

What are the best things in life?

It is amazing that sometimes, someone can constraint him or herself in a confining room, not wanting to make any effort on fixing up his f**ked-up life, and still complains about how unfair the world is, but seriously, have you ever think of what the most important thing in life? when you come to think of it... its every where.

Life is not about having uncountable amount of money, its not about owning chicks with "big-fat-boobs, long-brown-hair" and retarded brains. Its even not about having lots and lots of friends, whats the point of having friends if you don't know how to cherish them, make them apart of your everyday life... genuinely?

What is life?

its about walking down the street in Wellington, holding an affordable 50 cents Mc soft serve ice-cream, enjoying it with your friends whose doing the same thing... sharing thoughts on how cold your hand is... and how fun it is to have ice-cream during the chilling Wellington autumn.

its about standing infront of the stove, trying to figure out what to do with the piece of raw beef, decided to grill it when you don't have a clue how to, but turns out to be a yum (hint: use barbecue sauce, easy as that).

its about having some friends who are willing to sacrifice some of their time merely just to come to your surprise b'day party, wishing you a happy birthday sincerely in person, and some brought home baked cake (Yummy..)--> when you thought your b'day will be a quiet one...

its about having someone to share your thoughts and experience with while they are willing to listen and always ready to give advise.

its about sitting in an old chinese restaurant with beers and dim sum on the table, chating with a friend all night long without any serious business tangling in your crapy brain.

it about getting free sausages and lollies during the orientation of your University, together with a bunch of friends, who are crazy enough to line up 2 to 3 times... each.

its about getting away, with a 14 kg backpack and with someone who appreciates backpacking as you do, and experience the hardship of walking in strangers' land, with not much money in your pocket.

its about lying on a beach with pure-white-soft sand in the evening, the sea breeze touches your face gently, listening to The Phantom of The Opera, looking at the starry night, and meteors dividing the sky ocassionally.

its about your mom and dad sending you to an oversea University to fulfil your dreams of experiencing life in a new environment while they dip themselves completely into their work, merely just to make this possible.

its about waking up one morning to find a genuine testimonial in your friendster, and enjoy the words written by your friends about you.

its about cooking your friends a good meal, see them enjoy it, finally washing the dishes yourself, because you know washing dishes is relaxing, and you can take the time to quiet down to think back some of the things you've gone through.

I can sit here all day doing this, but what I really want to say is, its these small tiny puny things in life which in the end sums up to a life full of unexpected joy.

The best thing in life, my friend, is knowing how to cherish.
