When I was just a little girl... ...

When I was just a little girl, my dream was never to be a career or business woman. I wanted to be a homemaker. Till to date, this dream still remains. What I am doing now is totally different from this dream I had since I was a little girl. I wanted to be a homemaker not because I am lazy but because I always think that after a long day at work, if my husband comes back home, he gets to eat home cooked food and the family can have dinner together, it would be my biggest joy. I want to be the supportive woman behind my man. Be his listening ear and be the one who share his joy and sorrow, lending him my shoulder to cry on and sharing his burden. I wouldn't mind helping him in his business on top of doing all these. Silly isn't it? Well anyway, this isn't happening to me because I am still single.

Everyone of us has a dream since we were young. Some of us achieved what we inspire to be and some of us don't. We chase after what we want to or inspire to achieve but most of us do not pause to ask ourself this question "Are we happy?" Does being rich & famous makes us happier than those who are less fortunate than us? Does living in a big house filled up the empty space in our heart? Does dining at high class restaurants makes us healthier than others? Does wearing branded clothes makes us prettier than others? My answer to all these questions is no. Simplicity seems to be the key to happiness for me. Because everyday, we seem to be chasing after something that is never ending. When we have $1, we want to have $2. But when we have $2, we want to have more. So when is this going to end? All these are happening because of the society or human being? Take for example, there is a universal definition for the word "beautiful" but the definition very much depends on our interpretation and because of that more and more people are going into plastic surgery. Does the society tell us we are ugly or do we hear it from human beings?

So much said, after more than 3 decades, I begin to realise that my dream will remain a dream.
