Happiness is...

• ...having 4 children on the couch after school, first day of school after term break, relaxing.
• ...Cola telling me that her teacher's belly is like a "soccer ball" and EggEgg telling me who's who's scoring an entry into OC
• ...introducing EggEgg to the joy of eating a dok mai mango in season, the sweet and sour of it, akin to our relationship
• ...testing the kitchen floor and finding it to be satisfactorily clean after EggEgg's wiping yesterday, and EggEgg admiting that he forgot to wipe a spot
• ...teaching EggEgg and Cola how to do a "su-it" ala indonesian style of scissors paper rock, and they ended up using the middle finger, or five fingers
• ...teaching Ladder how to do a "rock scissors paper" and he just keep waving his hand in a paper manner
• ...point out to Ladder that his T-shirt shouldn't say "Mr Men", it should say, "Mr Donk" cos Ladder is Mr Strong, Mr Loud and Mr Bump all rolled into one.
• ...playing Bobo's familiar cello tunes on the Octotune the octopus, "Perpetual motion", "Long long ago", "Go tell aunt Rhody" and seeing Bobo's eyes spark with amazement. 
• ...breaking up a 6 pack of dairy yogurt for Bobo, now that he is all cleared to eat yogurt and dairy for the first time in 5 years.  Bobo has a hard time choosing between flavors: strawberry, mixed berries or raspberry? All his favourite flavours.
• ...pointing out the smooth white knees of Bobo as "before yogurt" skin and pointing out the thicken rough knees of Cola after ezcema as "after yogurt" skin. We all have a good laugh.
• Cola waving his reinvented a bunch of loquat leaves to masquerade as a palm tree, waving it around the house.
