Happy award

Thanks Lia Chen for this award, love your blog too - always inspiring and creative :)



Thanks also to Bento Zen, Sheri and Bento Pet for this award. It was great to know more about what made them happy aka joyful and satsified.

the rules for this award are as follows: copy the award image into a post; list 10 things that make you happy; tag 10 bloggers who brighten your day; link to their blogs; and notify the award recipients (who should link back to the sender’s blog).

In no particular order, things that make me happy.....

1. To wake up early, breath fresh air, hear the croaks from frogs as I do my morning walk – getting fit or being able to lose some extra pounds always makes me happy!! Ha ha
2. Gatherings with family and friends – chatting and just chilling out.
3. A good book or movie (especially those heart felt or soapy ones).
4. Ice cream, coffee and newspaper – not in that order but always welcomed.
5. Play with babies (other people’s babies) – there is something that makes grown adults talk and act like one big child.
6. Creating – be it baking or making something for someone. Its great feeling to be able to share.
7. Beating DH at air-hockey or other games/sports!! Don’t do it all the time but its great when I can.
8. Listening to my son telling me how he spent his day.
9. Local food, art & craft markets – just love stall-browsing, so many interesting things to see. (That’s how I end up with too much nic-nacks!!!).
10. Planning surprises - parties or otherwise for friends or love ones.

The other bloggers whom I'm tagging for this double award (unless they are already nominated) are - emily * mycreationbento * diana * happy flour * edith * kel * jacss * coffeencookies * peony * tona-mama * dailyaffairs

Lovely Blog Award

Thanks to arkonite (curious about the name and must ask her to share the meaning) and Sheri for sharing this with me.

The rules are simple for this award (no long list of Q&A invovled - yes I can just hear the sounds of relief, ha ha), just pick 15 new-to-me blogs to pass this award to.

Now, like a big kid with a huge box freebies, I'm just too excited to share.

The blogs below are not new to me but its been rather difficult to find blogs that haven't already been awarded so I've listed down some, a handful of which have been a little sluggish lately, hopefully its because they are all busy and not because they got tired blogging (am sure we all've been there). If so, please let this be an encouragement to grab a coffee/tea or maybe something even stronger and blog on and more because I do enjoy your visiting your blog.
