A common joy to be with mother

Saturday is a simple day, and I feel the love of God that permeates and reinvigourate this day a commoner's bliss and joy and this satisfies me wholefully. Gladness is the word I happily describe today, as a man in need of a normal and restful time, doing simple shopping with my mother.
The day starts with a happy note that a stamp exhibition is faithfully organised to soothe the commoner's soul, and to the tune of hobby grace, good people do feel attracted. A kind note about myself is that when young, I used to be a naturalist, and to this frequency, I love scenaries and my pet goldfish. I view joy in picture books, and I am encouraged by my humble mentor to collect stamps and stickers. I love stamps, and indeed, I do have beautiful series of good stamps that paints a wonder of love for the appreciation valve. I decided to attend the happy stamp festival.
Before leaving for the shopping mall, I noticed that my pant is torn, and I feel the need to buy a new pair of beige jeans. My mother and me decided to visit Parkway Parade, and we had a joyous time buying a white jeans, and enjoy a sumptious meal at Delifrance. I thank God for the peace of the dining, and the dine resounds well as a smooth chorus in both my mother and my heart. I ate a vegetarian mix of lagsana and potato, and this is a heaven sent treat to my being. The event is truly heart soothening for this is the first time in a long time that my mother gave me a good lunch meal. I felt the love that is profound from the very person I loved dearly, my mother. I understand that God freely provide this, for he understands that this kind of love is the simple love that I need, just to keep me healthy and in check. Thank you, my love in you, O Goddess of Mercy, Kuan Yin, is fulfilled.
After the meal, my mother alighted me at the national library, to galvanise the event and to this grace, I am nourished by my past and joyous life. The mildly hedonistic Brian has learnt to wisened up the idea of joy, and feel the righteousness that true compassion bless to the soul. The stamp exhibition became a photo and mind nourishing event, and I am mainly interested in earthly plants and animals, the sort of naturalism that sparks wonder to the commoner's heart. Singapore is indeed a nation that knead the connective spirit into the heartlander's well being. Stamps is a simple hobby that the collection and appreciation is the reward itself. Today, before I went for the exhibition, I decided to collect stamps again.
Finding mother at Orchard Road is a happy event too. I took the train, as a commoner, and feel the societal ground at work. I noticed some people, average flamboyent chinese boys who just love roaming the streets, and in this, I notice my friend's life, Yufei, a Chung Cheng and Hwa Chong student from China, who studiously earn his place as a univesity master's student in America. He escaped the mundane life of a street roamer, by being a scholar, and I knew Yufei already had his heaven in this life, and personally, I am glad for Yufei, who lives in Bei Jing. I met my mother at Mark and Spencer, Centre Point, and we decided to go to a pharmacy at Marine Parade, for a good time.
At Marine Parade, I feel the soul of the place, like an old time friend, who promises peace and a simple joyous fare, with my favourite location, Popular Bookstore, being my main attraction. I understand some of my life fundamental, and my love for bookstore did pave an avenue of academic interest that made me the earnest worker I am today. We went to the pharmacy, bought rosehips medication and did some simple grocery shopping, and this is a happy occasion I call a friendly family outing.
God, you know, because of today, I wish to live again, and the barometer of success and fame can be put aside when you already have ample abundence in a good family.
