The One On About Happiness & Remembering

And because I’d rather deal on positive things, here is this wonderful

talk from this year’s TED conference, which I think perhaps gives us

a clue as to why we feel certain short holidays are better than others, or

how certain breakups are more painful than others.

I know that I paused for thought after watching it a bit, mainly because I think

it gave me insight as to why when I talk about a certain ex of mine, the anger

still reverberates within me. The memory of it is still very fresh, still very raw,

and will perhaps always remain that way.

I also particularly liked it when he cited that study showing that people with

an income of $60,000 and above did not record higher levels of happiness,

but that the lack of definitely guaranteed you misery. How fascinating is that.

And to end with a laugh, here is something I spent hours on just last night when

I couldn’t sleep. I did what I sometimes do when I feel the need to laugh.

I look out for … Russell Peters clips!

He is hands down, my favourite stand-up comedian … dare I say it … EVER!

Partly because he does the culture and race and family thing so bloody well.

I love him. And all cultures get him! <3

If you are new to him, it is ABSOLUTELY your responsibility as a human being

who likes to laugh to watch this, this and this. Essential Russell Peters.

You’re welcome!

Real Women, Silly Boys

This is just a short little one from me. I watched this today and

beamed a great big beam. It’s a quick clip of the recent Annual Critics’

Choice Movie Awards in Hollywood. On Friday, Sandra Bullock and

Meryl Streep shared a win for Best Actress – Bullock, for the Blind Side,

and Streep, for Julia and Julia.

I can’t wait to see the Blind Side, cause I really admire Bullock, I think

she is so full of sunshine, and I thought many great things about Julia

and Julia. (which I watched with Kat in Penang – we both got really

inspired with the ‘doing something you really love’ message)

As for the incomparable Streep … well, what can one say? She is a

freaking genius!

.

What I love about this clip is that while everyone would probably focus

on the kissing part (it’s SO Britney and Madonna, no?) I actually give

it a few repeats because of the wonderfully charming interplay between

the two actresses.

I’d love to think they just basically showed in that one little minute

what I think what real, strong women are.

Both are instinctively funny, smart … naturally gracious …

and supportive of each other. I think both women have a wicked

sense of humour (and not just based on this brief encounter), indeed

I think I admire women who have an innate confidence that allows

them to be sunny funny. Not in-your-face, showy, pretentious kind of funny,

like they have to put on a comedic show in order to be liked.

The radiant, easy breezy type of funny – the kind your favourite uncle or aunty has,

the kind that makes you roar with laughter and want to hug the person at the same time.

.

And just because we are on the subject of laughs, I go off track a bit

and tell you why one of my bestest friends Pin is such a soothing

presence in my life. He is hilarious, sometimes in the most awful,

keju and jagung way ever! (Boy, I haven’t used that term in a while,

have I?)

Yesterday, in very spontaneous fashion, he called me close to midnight

to ask if I’d like to follow him to the night club Rootz. I wouldn’t have

gone on such short notice normally, plus I’d gone out the night before

to the dance extravaganza that is the Heineken Green Room party.

But it’s Pin, and I had not hung out with him like that in a while.

So we go. In the car it’s me, Pin and our friend Munchies.

(Sometimes these full-blooded males pretend to be lovers -but

let’s not get into that, shall we?)

They are talking about some weird, silly, TOKOK kind of subject and

somewhere along the line I tell Munchies “Eh, you never look after your

wife properly lah”, referring to his ‘relationship’ with Pin.

After 3 whole minutes of replying to my comment, there is a little lull before

someone’s mental light bulb comes on.

Pin goes.. “Hey wait a minute. I’M NOT the WIFE, okay?!!”

He’s so touchy, that Wei Pin. As if there’s

anything wrong with being the wife in the relationship.   :P

Nice.

And then later in the car, and still on another stupid subject or the other …

I tell them both: “Oh my God, honestly both of you are like Dumb & Dumber okay?“

And Pin says, without missing a beat: “I CHOPE DUMB!”

………

……….     ….       ……

AHAHAHAHAHHAHA

I swear, these boys.

It never gets old.

Seriously, Lol cats

I do really love dogs more, but through the years

I’ve steadily gained more appreciation and affection

for cats.

After hearing Reza’s tales about his new kitten Janggo

(who still thinks his feet are alarming alien objects),

I also came across this video with them cute cats.

Personally.

And I don’t know why …

but I really laughed the most at that one where the kitten is

falling asleep. 

I need a pet, STAT.

Ah. Children …

Received several funny, cute as hell Youtube videos

recently which made me smile a bit, you know, the ones

I’m sure you have been receiving and forwarding like

the wedding entrance one (how wonderful is that?),

but this one …. was just too ridiculously cute I had to post

it up.

I mean, come on … a 5 yr old doing a gritty Johnny Cash tune?

Awesome.

This kid had me at “Twain a-comin…”

I seriously think you should forward this or

show this to your moms – they’ll freak out with delight.

 

Fwee me fwom this pwison!

 

I think those who commented on the video

have said what needs to be said, and here I pick

three which echo my thoughts exactly. 

The last one especially, is a cracker.

 

This is all kinds of amazing that my head is going to

explode. I have no idea how to cope with this cuteness.

 

and

 

This video = the moment humanity finally collapsed under the

sheer weight of cuteness.

 

and…wait for it…

 

I think my ovaries just exploded.

 

LOL!
