Blog One：Happiness

    I have been in Singapore for one month.  Gradually have adapted to all the novel things, I get used to the life there.  Before I came to Singapore, I was afraid that I couldn’t find the sense of belonging. In my opinion, the sense of belonging is the foundation of happiness.  To be honest, my eternal life goal is HAPPINESS.  With time passing, something that makes me gain happiness happened.

    The first thing is smile.  Every morning, we will leave Labrador lodge for NUS CELC by the bus.  When I pass by the entrance guard, she who is an Indian always smiles  at me and says good morning in Chinese.  The friendly smile tells me a sharing, loving person inside. Victor Borge said, “laughter is the shortest distance between two people.”  I can’t agree this viewpoint any more.  The laughter I accept everyday warms my heart thoroughly as if the first light of morning  shines on snow land.

    Besides, the friendship between me and befrienders brings a lot of happiness to me. As I met them at first time, they took me to the university health centre to take our health check.  During the time of waiting for check’s result, we talked a lot and became familiar with one another.  A few weeks later, they organized a unforgettable camp for us.  Even sometimes we didn’t do a good job in “station game”, our leader encouraged us cordially and told us the goal of games is not the success but the happiness we can gain from those.

    Last but not the least, teachers’ care for us gives me a deep impression and their kindness really moves me. One day ,a teacher invited a girl to stand in front of us.   While we were completely baffled  by this strange behaviour, the teacher told us today was her birthday!  We sang a birthday song to her later and I noticed that this lucky girl’s eyes were around with tears.  You can imagine  how deep our  eudemonia is  since teachers can remember our birthday date when we in a unfamiliar country. 

    Well, to put in a nutshell, happiness is just around us if you find it.
