First, I have a question for you : Most of the time, your source of happiness is when you are GIVING or RECEIVING? (I am not talking about money alone, it could be a piece of good advice, compliments or contribution to charity drive etc...)
Take a few seconds to think about this important question.
When we talk about happiness, we cannot leave out healthiness. Without good health, it is harder to obtain a true happiness. When talk about health, it is better to focus on prevention rather than cure. Thus, appropriate/regular exercises and healthier/balanced food in-take is very important for maintaining a good health.
Today, I am going to share 10 superfoods which are powerhouses of vitamins, antioxidants and curative properties. The best part is they are all easily obtainable (source: READ magazine).

Ladies and Gentlemen, the yearly Great Singapore Sale is here once again! This nearly 2-months not-to-be-missed national event of Singapore (from 27 May 2011 to 24 Jul 2011) will definitely BIG enough to keep many happy faces on for at least 2 months (especially the ladies ;-P).
If you are from oversea and planning to come to Singapore within the next 2 months, just remember to bring extra cash (or credit cards) here ;-P. Because it's better to be "saving" than sorry! For more details on the offers/promotion, please check it out at GSS Official Site.
So, what does GSS got anything to do with my blog? You may ask...
In fact, I personally view that GSS has direct relationship with the objective of my blog. As you would already know by now, the aim of my blog is to Inspire It Forward and try to emit the positive energy forces to the people/friends around.
As for GSS, you will notice that most of the ladies (of course some man included) would discuss/chat/talk/msn/post non-stop on where to grab the great buy, which credit cards have what promotion/discount etc...with the highest energy level possible. Besides, when the hardcore shoppers are in action, no discount/sales labels managed to escape their eagle eyes. That's the highest level of commitment, productivity and efficiency of an HAPPY soul that we are talking about here!
So, can you see the correlation-ship yet?
Just thinking out loud, do you think event like "Great Singapore Smile/Happiness" will works with similar effect? Just thinking...
Lastly, please enjoy my original quote:
