When i was a young little thing, i used to think of what i'd do, where i'd be when i grow up. Being a young and ignorant lass, i used to have big aspirations, not that they were all unrealistic coz if i had put my heart to it, there was still a possibility of me fulfilling one of those dreams. But well, that's all in the past, and since i'm all grown up now, it's high time i faced up to reality and stop putting my head in the clouds.
Its really strange how as kids, many of us yearned to grow up quickly and become one of those adults who didn't have someone breathing down their neck. When we really do grow up, however, we wished that we hadn't and want to go back to those carefree days when we were still one of those innocent young things. Talk about irony. Kekekkee....
Anyway, contrary to my childhood dreams, i think what i really want now is to lead a simple life. I don't need to live in a big house, to own a flashy cabriolet, to have lotsa platinum cards, or be so loaded that i can go shopping everyday and not have to worry about vitamin M. After hearing so much about experiences of others, i realize that i'm actually quite fortunate and i should count my blessings, instead of complaining that things aren't going well for me, blah blah blah, etc. I'm not saying i'm totally going to quit complaining coz i know its not possible given my character, but i'll definitely try to see whatever comes my way in a more positive light.
So i'm now all for the Big S, no, not the Taiwanese actress who's with zai zai. My Big S stands for Simplicity. 简单就是美. I just want a simple and quiet life, not being caught up in the web of forever being worried about mundane things. Kekkekee...such an idealistic notion, isn't it? But of coz, in the process of striving to keep things simple, i'd still cherish whatever i have now so that i won't live to regret in the future.
- i make my life perfect -
