200th.

this is my 200th post on this blog. it is another milestone, another mark in the sand.
i figured that numbers like the 50th, 100th, 150th and so on should be special.

so today, i will write about happy things, like happy men. was browsing around the latest issue of the asian geographic when i chanced upon this quote.

who is the happiest of men?
he who values the merits of others,
and in their pleasure takes joy,
even as though t'were his own

- johann wolfgang von goethe.

so i suppose that makes a happy man.
perhaps, the secret to happiness is only that simple.
be happy for others, and be happy for yourself. period.
speaking of being happy, i am quite happy now.
no, it's not because of a girl.
no, it's not because i've found something to do with my freedom.
yes, it's because of a song i just found recently.
"if my heart was a house" by owl city. the lyrics are very meaningful.

"circle me,
and the needle moves gracefully,
back and forth
if my heart was a compass you'd be north.

risk it all cos i'll catch you if you fall
wherever you go,
if my heart was a compass you'd be home."

i thought this song was so much better than one of their more popular song called "fireflies".
anyway, mahjong calls. if you want the song, text me and i'll send it to you or something.
