What makes me happy

In the midst of my busy life and the stress that inevitably comes along with it, I hardly have time to take a breather and reflect on the things that truly motivate me to give my best each day.

But today, I had some time to think about the things that keep me happy and motivated, regardless of how my week goes.

So well, here are 5 things that make me happy. :)

1. Seeing my family healthy and happy
I don't think there's anything better than coming home to a family that is blessed with joy, laughter and good health.

The kind of warmth that brings, is beyond priceless.

Spending quality time with them is definitely something I cherish tremendously too.

2. Being productive
It's ironic how much I irk inefficiency given that I'm not the most meticulous or organised person myself. But yes, I derive an unparalleled sense of satisfaction when I know that I have delivered my best each day at work, be it seeing my students' enjoying a lesson I have thoroughly prepared for, or hitting certain targets I set for myself each day.

3. Spending time with my love
Am truly blessed to have someone who would always make me his priority, and whom I can feel totally comfortable and at ease with.

There is no one who makes me feel beautiful and happy like you do <3

You make my world go round and round and round ~

4. Catching up with friends 
As I hardly meet up with old friends these days, catch up sessions over dinner/brunch are very precious! It's nice to know how everyone's doing, and simply laugh/bitch over anything and everything together.

There's a sense of comfort knowing that we are all in the same phase of life together.

5. Quality personal time
As I grow older (not that I'm very old hahaha), I realise that I really enjoy personal time much more. I no longer have qualms about eating or shopping alone, and in fact, feel really comfortable doing things by myself.

Maybe that explains why I enjoy going to the gym alone on my off-days. I love being in total control over my time and knowing that I'm doing something for myself, and nobody else!

I also really like shopping alone. Just bought 3 pieces of clothing from MDS today in a span of 15 minutes hehehe.
