the true meaning of happiness

today is the first time i spent quite alot of the money at the arcade.. but i think it was money well spent.. let me tell you why..

i first went in to the arcade to play my usual games.. virtua soccer 95, virtua tennis 1 and street fighter etc.. while i was in the middle of one of my games, peipei came up to me and said she already spent over $10 trying to catch a small cat figurine (those usually to be put onto mobile phones for decoration purposes)..

after finishing my game, i went with her to see what she wanted.. the small cat figurine was indeed very cute.. so i went to change $10 worth of dollar coins and tried to help her catch.. however, i finished my coins and we still did not managed to catch one.. so she said she decided not to waste money anymore.. and pulled my hand to leave the arcade, however, i could see that she was quite sad not being able to catch the figurine..

hence i decided to change another $10 worth of dollar coins, this time very determined to catch for her.. indeed, we managed to catch a figurine this time.. and she was over the moon! the happiness displayed on the face could never have been bought with any amount money.. to me, it was just some money spent, but to her, i believed i brought her something which will etch in her memory for time to come!

i love you dear! =p
