			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Saw Jeanette&#8217;s blog about <a href="http://goodvibeblog.com/2008/09/04/top-ten-greatest-pleasures/" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/goodvibeblog.com');">Top Ten Great Pleasures</a> on things that make you happy, and I came up with a list. I did my own list when I gave a writing assignment some time ago, but I&#8217;ll type them out here. I got greedy and came up with 30 things.</p>
<p>1.	Seeing a beautiful rainbow in the urban area. (just saw one recently and everyone was crowding to see it)</p>
<p>2.	Buying new books. (my job allows me to buy hundreds of books, so I also love the process of choosing them!)</p>
<p>3.	Receiving magazines I like in the mail. (love 8 Days for the latest TV show synopsis and gossips, Time and Economist for their current affairs, and Fortune for money)</p>
<p>4.	Reaching home on time to catch my favourite drama serials. (I’m a TV addict.)</p>
<p>5.	Chatting on the phone with my husband. (Sometimes we chat for an hour before I go to bed)</p>
<p>6.	Finishing an entire drama series within 3 days. (TV junkie alert – Desperate Housewives, Jumong, The Legend, and this year alone)</p>
<p>7.	Surfing the net. (Especially excited when I check out the deals, and the tips and everything else)</p>
<p>8.	Reading a book lying down. (Bad for eyesight, but I love reading)</p>
<p>9.	Getting the resident stray cat’s attention. (I’m a closet Cat Lady. Only I don’t feed them. I like to tease the cats by making some sounds, and it’s cute when they turn their heads to look at me.)</p>
<p>10.	Getting great response from the people I work with. (Sometimes I have great ideas, and I try them out at work, and they enjoy the sessions.)</p>
<p>11.	Laughing at jokes. (Some of my friends are very interesting people.)</p>
<p>12.	Helping my friends analyse and <a href="http://sarah-tan.com/2007/09/19/visualising-where-you-live-and-how-you-look/" >visualize their dates</a>. (I get so excited doing this.)</p>
<p>13.	Eating cheesecake, warm chocolate cake or chocolate soufflé. (Yum, yum.)</p>
<p>14.	Seeing my face or my article in the newspapers. (twice this year already. The next I want to see is my own book published. And lots more!)</p>
<p>15.	Seeing my favourite car – Daihatsu Copen. (even if it’s not a good idea to own it)</p>
<p>16.	Working out at the gym. (get to exercise)</p>
<p>17.	Chatting with my brother and coming up with funny and cool suggestions. (too bad we seldom see each other even though we live in the same house)</p>
<p>18.	Watching people’s pets on the Internet. (I used to sit in front of the computer and watch people’s pets on webcam. I don’t own any pets, so I compensate by looking at others’. Plus I even made a video about a friend&#8217;s Schnauzer playing.)</p>
<p><object width="340" height="275"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/naHMN8CIWyA&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/naHMN8CIWyA&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="340" height="275"></embed></object><br />
19.	Reading my favourite blogs. (Quite a lot of favourite blogs such as <a href="http://beverly.livejournal.com/" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/beverly.livejournal.com');">Beverly</a>, <a href="http://karencheng.com.au" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/karencheng.com.au');">Karen Cheng</a>, <a href="http://www.valska.com/wp/" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.valska.com');">Valska</a>, <a href="http://goodvibeblog.com" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/goodvibeblog.com');">Jeanette </a>among many others)</p>
<p>20.	Listening, playing or doing something with music. (I want to write music. Maybe when I get my own work studio when my new house is ready. I&#8217;m a lazy singer who only sings once a week at my teacher&#8217;s place)</p>
<p>21.	Travelling to beautiful places by aeroplane. (I like taking the plane, since I was a kid.)</p>
<p>22.	Listening to waves lazing at the beach. (been to Bintan, Redang, Tioman, Hua Hin and Sibu, resorts in Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand)</p>
<p>23.	Having a massage. (lots of money spent on these.)</p>
<p>24.	Discovering something interesting or new. (From internet, or my books. Love self-improvement books)</p>
<p>25.	Getting room service at the hotel. (Coz I don’t have to tidy up. And I like eating in the room, plus I like having food delivered to my doorstep. I like staying at good hotels)</p>
<p>26.	Checking my bank accounts, investments and other streams of income. (I love money! And having money to spend!)</p>
<p>27.	Chasing celebrities from different fields from Asia. (My favourite is <a href="http://www.ryusiwon.per.sg/profile/" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.ryusiwon.per.sg');">Ryu Si Won</a>, Korean actor, I even appeared in some Korean entertainment show because I went to his fan club gathering. And another thou shalt not be named Asian Champion in some sports.)</p>
<p>28.	Getting flowers from my husband! (When he has time, he will get them for me from the nursery.) </p>
<p>29.	<a href="http://sarah-tan.com/2008/03/16/find-a-parking-lot-easily/" >Getting a parking lot in a crowded place</a>. (How can I forget this? 95% of the time I get the lots I want quickly and near to the place I’m heading.)</p>
<p>30.	Working on my blogs. (I love blogging. Check out my main blogs at <a href="http://SingaporeProfit.com" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/SingaporeProfit.com');">Singapore Profit</a>, <a href="http://wedding-breeze.com" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/wedding-breeze.com');">Wedding-Breeze </a>and a few others.) </p>
<p>Tell me about your great pleasures, and leave a trackback to your blog! What makes you happy? What are the little things in life that cheer you up? </p>
