Honestly, all I need to live the ultimate good life is my family, true friends, scrumptious food, travel, good books, a few notebooks, pens, my laptop and a good stable Internet connection. That’s it. No need for a walk-in closet filled with designer clothes, shoes and bags. No need for a car because I prefer and enjoy commuting a LOT. Commuting is a great way to see the world and real people. No need for the latest mobile phone models (A Blackberry, which I already own, so I can BBM with my friends from all over the world is more than enough). I believe that life should be simple because people really don’t need much to live a good life.
