My Happy Sunday Brekkie

Two fluffy wholemeal pancakes with cream cheese, yummy assorted sliced fruits, drizzled with maple syrup and sprinkled with a light dusting of cinnamon sugar.

I started my Sunday with a very late breakfast at Marmalade in Bangsar Village. Mmmm...this is one of my all-time favourite breakfasts in the whole wide world! I'm always in such a good mood after eating it. *satisfied smile*

Oh, except one occasion which I shall herewith, refer to as The RM 18 Incident. Haha, but that is a story for another day.

Today, I just want to be happy.

Life's reflections At Work on a Saturday Morning

Leisure
by William Henry Davies

What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.

No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.

No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.

No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.

No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.

A poor life this is if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

I think I first came across this poem in a Form 2 English textbook and the verses somehow stuck in my mind all these years. Oh, how aptly WH Davies words describe my state of mind currently! :(

I wish I could have more hours in a day to sleep, and that chocolate ice cream has zero calories, and that it snows in Malaysia and that I could go shopping in New York on a whim.
