Nope.  {ui [bridi]} is true or false depending on [bridi], and goes the same way.  If you are not, in fact, happy, you may be misleading but you haven't said anything false. 
{mi gleki lenu [bridi]} is true or false depending upon your attitude (happy or not) about the event of [bridi].  Typically, it would also be false if that event did not occur, but this is deputable.  But certainly the mere fact that the event did occur would not make {mi gleki...} true.
