Day dreaming

I really like my sis' blog...she has written whatever i wanna say! Like May Day and their new released song, “Angel”, our Taiwan trip and so on...do go and read her blog: typicalgalnextdoor.blogspot.com. It's much better than mine! More interesting, more colourful, more pictures…

I think if u compare hers with mine, u would think that I'm lazier than her. Haha..who says people born in the Year of Pig aren't lazy? We’ll get lazy at least once in a while, but not everytime though. Get this right.

The settings are different because my cousin helped her in that. So now, I was waiting for him to go online so that he could help me with the same. U know, this is not important and urgent, so I didn't want to call him up and help me with that straight away. But still, it's something I think should be done. haha.. People, especially Singaporeans, are like that. One will always want what others have. Don't u think so? "You have, I also wanna have." I realised it when I read Neil Humphreys’ book, “Notes from an Even Smaller Island” recently. It’s so true.

This afternoon, I was going to the foodcourt downstairs to buy lunch back to office as usual, feeling bored and a little moody, when I realised that people around me – they are mostly working adults like me in Suntec offices – were wearing very nice clothes and eating good food. They were all in formal work wear - pretty ladies, handsome guys, mostly young yuppies - having lunch at the foodcourt. And their food looked so good, even though it’s food from the foodcourt. I realised that I’m so fortunate. Fortunate to eat good food from the foodcourt. Fortunate to work in good place where it’s a shopping mall, Suntec, even though it’s so far away from the MRT station. My world is beautiful.

And then, I used to complain about the long, long walking distance from City Hall to my office. Then I took the shuttle bus which sometimes makes you wait for ages, causing me to be later as usual. And then I took the old way – to walk all the way in again. And I realised I kinda like it. You’ll have many companions – most of them are always rushing as their speed is way past “90km/h”. I guess my speed is just “85km/h” and of course, they are some with “70km/h” speed, whom I will overtake. I’m taking the average speed now because I just want to admire the mannequins and the clothes they are wearing – which I may never wear for my whole life. Well, at least not for the past 20 over years. ~grins~ So what’s occupying my mind during the “long walks” every morning is sometimes just wishful thinking – how I wish I can be as slim as the mannequins who wearing fabulous, most up-to-fashion clothing and stylish accessories; or how I wish I can work in the fashion industry and best still, open up a franchise store with the brand named as “Hazel” and I’ll be the fashion designer of my merchandize…heehee…I know what you are thinking right now – yup, it’s wishful thinking. But hey, sometimes I can feel the inspirations, of designing apparels, when I am walking to my office in the morning, when most of the people are struggling to keep their eyes open.

Whatsmore, after leaving PIL, I had the inspiration of opening a café upon graduating with the current degree that I’m taking now. How nice it would be to work in a small cosy place of my own, where my friends can hangout favourably. Ok, I shan’t continue anymore. I tend imagine or day dream a lot. It makes me happy and gives me some hope for the future. But most successful people started with having their inspirations while they were day dreaming…

Ok ok, back to work. ~grins~

Maybe, just maybe, my dreams will come true...

Hello Sis! Good to daydream a bit on & off as these might lead to inspirations & boost your motivation! However, I see that you're fine being you, jus you HAZEL! Over the years I've seen some positive changes in you..erhm.. from the blur blur gal to a smarty (as in not as easily tricked into nowadays), from a non-entertainment live gal to someone who balance living with entertainment now, from a plain jane to one who knows more bout dolling up, etc etc.. Well after reading your post, I find that u are jus as fine already.. Have your own style as this would not cause out-datedness living within yourself. Mannequins are non-living thing lo, they can be as great as wat we want them to be or wat we want them to portray. So they are living a live we want them to be. So be glad you live a life of your own with no one telling u to wear this or tat. Haha... You are jus as great being yourself! We all have our own shortcomings, jus like I do envy your bigger eyes.. Haha...
