A line from one of the song they sang in my favourite musical "The Sound of Music". I can watch it over and over again... :)

Feel free to share the things you love here...(try to leave sex talks out of this thread...if possible ;) ). For those of you who have a partner who is part of this community, it's another avenue for you to drop big hints on things you like... :D

My favourite lullaby is " The Moment.." - a love song for my children. Everytime I sing it to them, I relive the joy of holding them in my arms for the very first time - so bahagia...sigh... :)

The lyrics...
The moment I saw you, I wanted to hold you
And keep you warm on a cold grey morn
The moment I held you, I wanted to kiss you
And welcome you here on the day you were born

I do have a few collections that I treasured:

1) Miniature liquor. Anyone wanna exchange please pm me.

2) Coke bottles/cans from various countries. I do have a few collections but none identical for exchange at the meantime.

3) Miniature perfumes.

4) Sands/stones from countries that i've visited.

I have a bottle from Thailand and a can (slightly smaller) from Germany. Wanna exchange? Also got soda and beer, I think.

A bottle of wine from Italy can ah? Personally smuggle back from there, you know. So, plus the hard work and risk, value shoot up liao.

Not into wine collection. Just interested in the bottles. Unless it comes in a unique bottle.

[KoChun]

Okay, get me the coke bottle and we shall trade, Barter trade.

My favourite happy poem is 'Daffodils" by William Wordsworth...

I WANDER'D lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the Milky Way,
They stretch'd in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed -- and gazed -- but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
:)

yes, i collect coins but on my stepfather's behalf... do you want euro coins? even though 11 eurozone countries use same currency, the coins for each country is different... i'm still trying to collect them all but getting irish set is not a problem at all!

[LiLiaN]

i found one of my treasured stuff on my book shelf last night...
it was "chicken soup for teenage soul"... had that for years...
lots of friends have shared the book...
and i've also requested for them to write messages inside..

Precious moments...my favourite. Chose the above picture to represent my children. Some of my colleagues say my sone does look quite like the little boy figurine:)

I really think the artist is a genius!

i like minimalist style, but not chrome and brown and white colours only...
too boring, and not very "home-y" feeling...
need some warmth, so will stick in bold paintings, furnitures...
add some rich colour beanbags and cushions...
lastly a whimsical touch by voile curtains... :)
