I've got work but I just had to steal some time..:P
It's interesting how one ends up not doing things one is interested in.And that applies to almost MOST, if not all, of us.I am one of those in the MOST category. Am I confusing you already?
When I was young, i wanted to become these ->
doctor, nurse, librarian, cashier, teacher, reporter, tv host, singer, actor, chef and the cat from Mat Yoyo. I was one of their ardent fans, never failed to watch their shows each time it was staged at the old red-brick Marine Parade Library courtesy of my aunt..
My "ambitions" were
almost realised through multiple role-playing with my sisters and cousins..Those were the carefree, fun days..we played
masak-masak outside the corridor, using my mom's plants as the main ingredients...in the end, we left the plants nude, with just their stems in tact...ahakz!..
And, I had some of these ambitions
truly realised when I grew older. I was a librarian in primary school and jc..i developed a fetish for library thanks to my aunt. when i was still in varsity, the central library was my 2nd home.. Every fleeting moment, we had lots of it, was spent in the library with my library-fetish friends.
the then-bf-current-fiance had to go looking for me in the library every time..so, central library remained to be sentimental for the both of us...
oops i digress again!
And, i played with the REAL cash register alright when I was working part-time at Robinsons after my A's.. I was a teacher, more like a MONSTER, to my younger sisters when I had to tutor their schoolwork..oh and I also used our room doors as blackboards, when I was young. ...i am still a singer cos' i can't stop crooning, an amateur at that tho'...i am an actor as and when the situation calls for it. We hv to be heroes and save the situations don't we? And just had to err..
lie through our teeth without batting an eyelid, don't we?
It's white lie, mind you....lucky that I am not blessed with pinocchio's asset...
okie okie enough with the incessant pre-amble. The point that i am trying so hard to drive across is the fact that when we reached adulthood, the time to put the real bread and butter on the table..(this daunting task is no longer left to the hunters alone), how many of us are actually doing something we are passionate about?
I am not one of them and it's sad, really. Perhaps for one, I am not able to clinch THAT ideal job I think I am passionate about and over time, I am resigned to doing something that promises me stability at the end of each month..when the moolah rakes in.. when i have at least some left for me to do a tiny bit of shopping after siphoning a large proportion of it to clear the mountain of debts.. ..Err..And I call
THIS stable?
Ok, even if we are doing something that we are passionate about but the monetary recognition is not justifiable, would you take flight?
As the common adage goes, the grass is always greener on the other side...
