Tips

usage
称心 literally means 'fitting the heart' — something matches what you wanted. The set phrase 称心如意 (chènxīn-rúyì) is the stronger 'just as one wished, perfectly satisfying'.
mistakes
The here is read chèn (4th tone, 'to fit/match'), not chēng ('to weigh/to call'). Same character, different reading.
