I'm a sporadic organisational psychology phd student, full time day dreamer of alternative careers: cafe/bookshop/day spa lifestyle village empire entrepreneur; artist; travel writer; domestic goddess; property developer; fashion designer; retiree; organic farm/bed n breakkie; wife to billionaire heir; buddhist nun. when i'm not entertaining the above in my head, i'm busy navigating through life battling with myself to find eternal happiness armed with a skinny hazelnut flatwhite in my hand, twinkle of passion in my eyes, love in my heart and a barrage of great friends n family by my side.

Some FREE happy..

My sis C requested that i MUST go to Borders to reserve the new harry potter and we'll get an owl plush too!! so as a poor unemployed student like i am, who has nothing better to do with her time.. i obeyed.. and it just so happened that there's a Mecca Cosmetica right next door.. and being an OCD (obsessive complusive disorder) person who's latest object of preoccupation is skin care.. i can't just walk away like what a normal sane person who has a life/job/discipline would do.. so.. much like a fly to a fly trap i HAD TO see what Philosophy look, smell, feel like..

Megan (the pretty lady at the shop) was LOVELY.. she explained what's unique about the products, what it's for, how to use it, let me try stuff, WITHOUT making me feel like an idiot as most 'beauty' ppl tends to do to nerds like me (a.k.a. obviously clueless abt anything that would lead to looking less like a rat chew) .. yup.. she talked to me like i'm a human being.. we talked about harry potter.. and she even laughed at my jokes.. tee hee hee (yes i know she's paid to.. but i don't care.. i prefer to think that i'm witty).. i was so ready to hand over my money without trying anything!!

in the end she recommended the REN clean skin care totally natural and no additives.. it smells DIVINE!!! she even gave me FREE SAMPLES!!! free free free!!! oooo.. very very happy.. i felt like a million bucks walking out of there..

so i thought i should treat myself a cup of gloria jean.. and guess what my frequent coffee card is full, so i got that for FREE too.. AHHHHH.. when the smiley barista (p.s. why they all so hyped n cheerful? is it the coffee smells? i digress.. ) handed me my order.. i really don't believe it can get any better than this..
so walking to my car (which i had to pay parking fee.. not free *shrug*).. with a meccca bag full of FREE samples and a warm cup of FREE caramel nut cappuccino.. i was walking on clouds even when the street alley smells like urine..

so.. me really happy with my free happy.. and it made me wonder.. why aren't people are a little nicer to each other when it just makes SUCH a difference to someone else's day? HMPH...
