The Happiest People In The World
Every morning on my way to work, I see the happiest people in the world. Who are they? They are people who sit and have a cup of coffee in The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. They seem very blissful as they enjoy every sip of their coffee, sometimes with freshly baked muffins. At least that is what I see when I half-walk-half-run to work, hoping that my boss comes later than I 
The world offers the slightest sense of justice! How come these happy people have free time to enjoy their morning? How come they don’t drag their asses to work? Don’t they have work to do, money to earn, family to feed, bills to pay? Answers to my questions are getting clearer as I observe them closely day by day. They enjoy their morning because they enjoy their life. They don’t work, money comes easily for them. After a couple of hours having breakfast at Coffee Bean, they go shopping (Okay, I made this one up…)
But seriously, what kind of people who have breakfast at a café, 9 in the morning wearing casual clothes? Maybe some of them own some outlets in the mall. I don’t know how they make their money, what I know is they are damn rich!!!
I define my happiness differently, thanks to them. If one morning on a weekday I sit and order Macchiato at a comfy café, not worrying about my job, that is heaven. Simple eh? J
For now I have to endure having Cappucino from my office’s vending machine. Thank God.

Fenny…if u see those people are the happiest in the world, then other people how aren’t as lucky as you, who don’t have a chance in a big company as you have, who couldn’t afford the thing you buy, will consider you as the happiest person in the world:)

I guess I just happen to be another spoiled brat whining about just everything
But after the second thought, I realize that what I envy most about those people sitting at Coffee Bean is their very moment. They smell the coffee when everyone else is rushing to work, often feeling dreadful of their would-be day at work. They share laughter with friends when everyone else is self-absorbed and swearing at the traffic… The earth is indeed spinning at much slower pace in Coffee Bean!
