Valentine's Day celebration at The View, Hotel Equatorial

This was our 6th valentine's day. We never purposely celebrated in the past, even during our university time together in Kampar.

We celebrated in advance by finally having a fine dining. He booked online for the dinner at The View, Hotel Equatorial.







































I'd advise anyone that book dinner go for 7.30pm or later. We reached at 7pm. And we could see the opposite old flats and some dirty buildings clearly. It wasn't romantic... Until the sky turned dark. Both Penang bridges were in sight. Such a great view!

As a side note to remind myself,

You! Left the Godiva chocolates at relative's house! Wasted his money and effort!

Boost Your Happiness: Your Nose Knows!!

You're using it right now and you probably don't even realize it. What is it? Your sense of smell, of course.

Your nose is amazing! It alerts you to danger and helps you taste food and enjoy the fragrant world!

A human can detect thousands of smells. And I can't smell very well. Unlike other friends who are very sensitive to smells, I'm always the last one to know there's someone farting in class. Lol.

It seems certain aromas have the power to stir up strong emotions and even change our mood.  :)

A study of 4000 people in UK looked at the scents that appeal to us most. My favourite smell, freshly baked bread, topped the list. The smell makes me happy and blissful every time because it's homely, warm and reminds me of people i love.

   TOP SMELLS THAT MAKE US HAPPY
   1. Freshly baked bread
   2. Clean sheets
   3. Freshly mown grass
   4. Fresh flowers
   5. Freshly ground coffee
   6. Fresh air after rainfall
   7. Vanilla
   8. Chocolate

Our noses know the little things that make us smile. How about you? I got 4 from the list above. Baked bread, flowers, fresh air after the rain and of course chocolate! My mood turns good because of them. Tell you a little secret, i like to sniff liquid paper and petrol. Yeah i know, many people told me, that's not good. But they somehow make me feel high, they're like drugs.

Anyway I still haven't found any friend who feel happy smelling farts. If you're the one, let me introduce you my secondary school's "Fart King". You'll love him and get happy every day. *evil smile*

Boost Your Happiness: Candy

Children like sweet. You'll never fail to make a kid happy with candy and lolipop! But many grown-ups do not crave candy anymore.

Candies are part of our childhood memory. At my age now, I still like candy and it definitely can enhance my mood every time i feel a little blue or depressed. Actually I always steal my little sister's candy, especially milk candy and cotton candy. Unlike my friends, I don't really enjoy Halls.

Believe me, eat some candies next time when you feel unhappy. It's undeniable that the effect is instant yet temporary. The little bits of happiness still count, right? At least, you get the enjoyment for few minutes.

My favourite Candy now. :D

Thanks to Tiang. I'm addicted to Sticky.

Sticky, traditional hand-made yummy.

The first time I tasted it was when the first Sticky outlet in Malaysia opened at 1 Utama. We got attracted by the big crowd for its shop opening ceremony, and the pinkish new shop is easily spotted.

Finally my lil sis's turn to covet my candies. LOL

See why i love them so much. So colorful that can bright up your day!
