More than 100 Happy Days

Hiiiiiiiiiii, it's been a while yaaaaaaa. Because I've been busy. But my procrastinating self is coming out for a short while because it's time to update a bit before I continue to go back to reality (read up on book sources for masina) so let's talk about something, like the 100 Happy Days project (http://100happydays.com/).

I wanted to join this challenge but the thought of posting something on insta for 100 days consecutively makes it so sian (because I'm so lazy sometimes) and as a person with a not-very-exciting life there is a high chance of repetition so I decided not to and instead, make a mental note when I am happy each day/time.

SO here's a list I complied of super easy things that make me happy, let's include a photo for each point haha:
- When I see Meowna (or pets in general)

(This was sooooooo long ago, when she came not long ago and only stayed downstairs) 

- When I eat nice food (ok this is not super easy but quite)

 

(Waffles. So self-explanatory)

- When I dance (usually makes me happy, like 99.5% of the time)

(See how happy I/everyone look?)

(But actually hor, honestly I thought I was gonna fall so I had to distract myself but cheering then this happened)

- When I hang out with my friends (watching them interact is funny enough already)

(Latest Eggs & Berries outing, missing Chu Yi, Pearly and Wilson)

- When I buy something in a super nice colour. Like this post-it

(It was love at first sight when I saw this colour hahahahaha)

- When my insta has, like a lot of likes

 (Let's face it, we all like to have a lot of likes on the picture we post.)

(50 is my highest so far, which is quite low if you compare to all my popular friends but it makes me sooooooo happy HAHAHA)

- When I get home before night falls, provided that I'm not sick

(Yea, I was half sick when I took this photo)

Ok so there are obviously still things that make me happy but this post would be wayyy too long by the time I'm done so let's move on. It is a great idea to get people to post something that makes their day happy. I'm happy for my friends who had completed 100 days and I have no doubt my friends who are still on this challenge (because they started it later) that they would complete it. 

'But what happens on days when they didn't post a photo??' You wonder. Yea, I wonder too.

Precisely this is another reason why I didn't join the challenge because I know that there would be days when I will be so upset by something that it overshadows the happy thing. Like the time I found out that the BP recital is during capstone implementation weeks and I had to quit because I won't be able to go for the recital. (I found out right before I was going to sleep and felt so bad that I couldn't sleep properly that night) (I think it might be because of that then I fell sick because I felt so terrible for dumping my friends [we were so excited to be able to dance together again] and I was almost falling sick then BAM) 

So that would mean that it's not really 100 happy days but more like 100 - x happy days. x meaning the days you didn't post a photo.

So before you think I'm a miserable person for not joining the challenge because I knew I will fail it, I am doing pretty well just thinking of 'what made me happy today' because of some YouTubers I follow. Bubz always writes in a book called 'Today I am grateful for' in her vlogs and Ingrid said her favourite quote is "Everyday may not be good but there is something good in everyday", which then became my favourite quote too because it does make so much sense. Both of them has made me try to see the good in everyday. I may not see it every single day but yes, most days I see it. (Though it might get harder and harder because all the stress's coming now but I'll try)

For example, if I drop my stuff on the floor and someone helps me to pick it up, it is enough to be grateful for already. If I am able to come home for dinner and see that my mama has cooked my favourite veggies, I am super happy already. (SIMPLE ENOUGH YO)

So why go and be happy for only 100 days (or 100 - x days)? Go be happy for as many days as you can.

P.S. I shared a picture of the quote (that I made hehe) on my insta but deleted it because I felt that I couldn't find the something good in everyday for so many days after I posted it. The good things are coming back again but if something terrible happens again and I lose it for dayyyys, I will delete the quote because I am a selfish human bean. :P (Don't hate me)

P.P.S. Time to read the book sources now hurhurhur

P.P.P.S If you are wondering what is the something good I have today, I actually have a few things!

1. I didn't fall even though I slipped about 5 times while walking down the stairs because it was raining. Same flight of stairs somemore. Terrifying experience. #accomplishment

2. It stopped raining when I reached buona vista so I didn't have to open my umbrella to walk to rochester mall!! Wahaha

3. I didn't really have enough money for lunch but I managed to have enough to buy a cup of bubble tea which is really helpful because I only started getting hungry at 5 plus.

4. Sister is going overseas for 10 days so now THE ROOM IS MINE, MUAHAHAHAHA (she just left the house)

5. I saw Meowna today :D

Taking some time today to do some posting because
1. I haven't posted in a while hahaha
2. I'm not going for class today so got a bit of time
3. Ought to post more before I run out of time in the near future because Year 3.

TADA. So the first week of Y3 just went past like that and then I fell sick on week 2. Like fever and everything. It started with cough then fever then flu then throat infection. And when night comes, I feel like Charmander... Because I keep having fever at night then my hands (and legs) felt really veryyyyyy warm.

But of course, Charmander is a lot cuter than I am, I do have self-awareness ok.

Seriously when I don't go to the doctor, I don't go to the doctor but when I go ah, everything comes. :( Just hoping that was the last visit to the doctor for the rest of Y3. Or forever.


So other than describing my sick days, I felt like setting some goals for Y3 or at least this sem.
1) Plan a damn timetable because I do not have wonderful time management.

2) Survive sem 3.1 trying to force certain people (AND MYSELF!!!) to hand in their work (AND MINE TOO!!!) on time. (2 times already gahhh)

3) Try to go for at least Friday/Saturday classes even when super busy (therefore must achieve goal 1) because dancing is stress relieving.

4) Stay happyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy (as much as I can)

(P.S Does anybody wanna buy this for my birthday because it's sho prrrreeeeedddyyy and my birthday is coming bahahahahaha)

5) Go for internship interviews and ace them, stop being so nervous, you stupid Shi Ling. And presentations. And all the pitches. (What on earth my IS have individual pitch too :((((((()

6) GET CUMULATIVE GPA TO 3.2, which means the GPA for this sem must be 3.6704 and above.

Omg I'm so gonna work hard! *sleeps for the rest of the day*
