Does stimulant means that it gives you energy? Or is it mean that you just feel happy and lalalala? :D

Either/Both. A stimulant can make you feel energetic, or it can actually kick metabolism up a notch.

::Edit:: Bam!

The real definition of a stimulant is just a substance that increases teh activity of your sympathetic nervous system. Even though the majority have euphoric effects and or gives you energy, it is not that, that defines it as stimulant.

I'm not sure defining a stimulant due to it's effect on metabolism is strictly true, or are steroids classed as a type of stimulant ?
