Ten things that kept me happy in 2006

Triggered by Pangeran Panda, here I continue the reflection of 2006.

Thus, these are 10 things that kept me happy in 2006:

  1. My wife..of course, for keeping me happy and healthy with her cooking, keeping the house warm, and throwing ideas to make our life even happier :)
  2. Indonesia..went home again for about 1 month, enjoying time wth families and friends, and of course...the food!
  3. Kids/babies near or far: Jonathan, Stella, Daniel, Cory, Alvin. I could make thick photo albums only because of them :).
  4. Iron Maiden, for the concert in Den Bosch last November, made my childhood dream come true to watch them live. Oh, the other shows in 2006 also were my happy moments: The Musical Box, Sting, Jamie Cullum, BLØF.
  5. Travellings during the year: Oslo, Hongkong-Macau, Blokart in Wijk aan Zee, Kaasmaken. It always nice to see and experience new places, people, and things.
  6. Friends, close or far. All the ngumpul-ngumpul and makan-makan. Discussions in the mailing lists, especially insane people in i-Rock!.
  7. Sony Ericsson W800i. My travelling mate with nice music player, nice camera, and some times phone calls from my wife :).
  8. The joyful choir, the practices, the songbook preparation, the fun, and off course the singing.
  9. New car. This includes the searching period, browsing on the Internet, visiting showroom, until finally found the one.
  10. Saturday Kitchen from BBC. I always feel happy to wake up on Saturday mornings, make breakfast, relax, and watch the brilliant cooking masters: Rick Stein, Jamie Oliver, Rachel, and the host James Martin.
    In general, all cooking programs on TV are great!

Those are the Ten. May be more...but let's keep it popular :).
