Things that Made me Smile :o)

I realize that as you mature, it's really the little things that made a smile lit up your face...

And for me, it's as simple as being with close friends. Friends that really understand you and accept you for who you are. The sort of friends that you will be totally comfortable in silence while watching the world go by on a Saturday afternoon. I am always the target-board for jokes and Sotong-related humour... But they did it so endearingly that it just speaks of the amount of sheer love that they have for me as a friend. And these are the friends that I am talking about -

My decade long friends....

Renjin a.k.a Daddy....


Renjin and camera....

Wensze. Urm... I don't know that we were trying to do here...

Finally... The 3 of us....

Thanks for making it a point to always celebrate my birthday with me. The best part about being single is realizing the kind of friends you have always been surrounded by... Esp, the likes of Renjin and Wensze...

Hello, my name is Joey....

Hello everyone, my name is Joey and I'm ALMOST a shopaholic....

You know there are actually steps documented to help overcome these ''addictions''.... and the first step is admitting that one cannot control one's addiction or compulsion. Hence, this is it....

My purchases ranged from clothes, shoes, bags, cosmetics, skin-care to even perfume.... Most people don't believe the amount of stash that I have. To set the stage for the next few entries, I will be sharing on the treasure cove that lies within my room.... So follow me on my recovery process from the ALMOST Addiction..... :o)

On the Harry Potter Bandwagon.....

It's no longer news that I have been a HUGE fan of the Harry Potter series since the beginning - both books and movies!!! And it's little wonder that I insist on watching Harry Potter - The Half Blood Prince on the very first week that it opened.....

I have been asked a couple of times on just why Harry Potter appeals to so many people.... I can't answer for all, but I think the key thing for me is that there is this element of courage that underlies all the main characters which I can definitely identify with. It's the age old story of good Vs evil how good always triumps evil regardless of how dark it is as long as the characters persevere.....

And at this age, where being good and courageous not necessarily means triumpant and definitely don't mean sucess in the corporate world.... Harry Potter might prove itself to be just the respite that we can go to to relieve those age old moments.... :o)

Go watch it....
