'if i couldn't put it in chinese'.

for chinese we were made to write about 5 or 10 things in our daily lives that made up happy. i had it all in my mind. in english of course... translation was the pure problem. that's where my tuition teacher came in to help (: oh well, here's what i'd say in english:

happiness is to sit in the dim-litted band room, eupho in hand. playing music so beautiful, throwing every bit of myself into it almost doesn't seem a problem at...

happiness is to listen to relieving, stoothing classical music, paintbrush in hand. and as each stroke of paint goes onto the canvas, a painting of emotions and feelings imerge, slowly, onto the once blank-white canvas, giving me a feeling so wonderful. a feeling of esctasy and wonderment...

happiness is to ride a bike in the middle of the night. one of which the air is still and cold, riding through it feels as though you're breakng through the stillness and the strain on your tighs burn and burn but yet the feeling you get in return is unimaginable...

happiness is to lie on a secluded beach, staring up into the sky, watching the clouds go by, feeling the sun on your skin, heating you with so much warmth. making you feel as though you're invincible, as though you've disappeared from the face of earth and into this whole new world. a world of your own.

happiness is to work on something so hard. having to plan it out for days and month, and watching it come together like pieces of a puzzles forming a picture so beautiful, something of which people appreciate and enjoy.

happiness is to have someone you can talk to, spill your heart out to. laugh and cry, all the same. someone you can say anything and everything to and know that you'll be accepted for who you are. know that you are cared for and loved...

happiness is to return home after a tired day and to lie down, relaxed and gazing into the ceiling recalling the day. the memories, good and bad alike...

happiness is to celebrate and occasion of joy with extended family. to see everyone come together as though we've just seen each other the day before... drinking, eating and laughing all together. the joy that overwhelmes you is just worth to wonder...

happiness is to be alone at times, to turn the music up, and listen to the songs that you relate to, out down into words so beautiful, words that make sense.

happiness is to be with you. just to look into your eyes and tell you how much i love you, to hold you so tight and wish for time to pause forever. to see you smile, is so much more than enough...

these are things that bring me happiness. things i might not be able to live without. things i love and things i care about...
