Jane said that my joys are simple.

Come to think of it, it’s true.

I don’t need to own the latest LV bags to make me happy. I don’t fancy gadgets. Ok, I do like shopping for clothes, but I tend to shop for clothes only when I need to.

So what makes me happy (besides human goodness)?

Seeing a waterfall, taking a walk in Bukit Timah Nature Reserve or MacRitchie Reservoir, rollerblading at East Coast Park, jogging at night, pruning my plants, going for a swim. Feels like the major elements are nature and some physical activity.

Food wise, I don’t fancy dining at restaurants, though I like TCC very much. I think I can survive on hawker food. Cheap and good.

All these become much clearer since some time back.. I enjoyed Stong (trekking in the rain, sleeping in a tent, showering near a waterfall, no electricity) and Tioman (the beach, the resort with only v basic facilities, the snorkelling) more than Bangkok (flew there on Business Class, stayed in Holiday Inn, did nothing but eat and shop).

And now, my friends and I are planning for Taiwan, I google and look for nothing but scenic countryside/old town places.

I’ll be a very happy girl if I can go to Yehliu, Wulai, Danshui and Taroko Gorge!

I guess I’ll enjoy Sikkim and Darjeeling very much also then!
