I know it's been a long time since I last updated What Is Making Me Happy. Somehow, I seem to be in this perpetual state of BUSY BUSY BUSY. (Translation: LAZY LAZY LAZY.)

A special thanks to all of you who have been asking, "When are you gonna update again? I need my fix!" Well, we all need a bit of nudging sometimes, don't we?

Anyway, I'm still in my BUSY BUSY BUSY mode today, so I'll just make a simple list without too many bells and whistles. Will share more when the urge kicks in. :)

1. Modern Romance (Aziz Ansari is a comedian/actor. This is not his autobiography, but an interesting read nonetheless.)

2. The Small Big (If you are interested in behavioral science, this book is worth your time.)

3. How I Built This (A new NPR podcast hosted by Guy Raz, who is famous for TED Radio Hour. I enjoy this new one a whole lot more.)

4. Big Little Lies is now a TV show, HBO no less! (I'm an unabashed Liane Moriarty fan. Loved the original book.)

5. Alan Walker/Iselin Solheim - Faded (I have no idea how I missed this apparently very popular song last year. These two are a match made in heaven. And while you are at it, also check out Sing Me to Sleep.)

6. Forever Country (A great mashup. Brings back so many memories. Did I mention that I used to be a part-time bar singer, and Take Me Home, Country Road was one of my most requested songs?)
