DREAMS
believe it or not, i am an avid day dreamer. Sometimes when i am on the train, either to school or meet pauline,i force myself to read my notes or a book. However, i feel that i am drifting the moment i lock my eyes on the words. In Japan, they dubbed it a good "habit" or maybe, a social habit to read a book while on the transit. To me, i dubbed it as a more healthy habit to dream. When people asked me."Hey, what are you going to do after grad?". Normally, forgive me pals, i dreamt too much and thinked too much. I hope i wun bore you guys with my lofty ambitions. Come ot think of it,i think i believe that dreams without actions is dreams, while dreams with actions becomes a idea.

"Do you want to spend time building other people 's dream or would you rather spend it building your own dream?"

I watched a programme featured on the channel 8. This lady gave up her job as a senior accountant and started carving out her own niche in a cooking class biz. I could imagine and fee l her uncertainity and the internal struggle of thoughts and emotions. I admire her courage yet i do feel that this kind of show only brings out the success stories. Being pragmatic. i do believe that success story is srill only a handful in reality. I admit that all these stories are inspirational but i only take it like a pinch of salt. But, her words still moved me. She posted this question in a upclose interview and unbelivably, her words invoke a thousand thoughts.

Ironically, even if you are a MD or senior personnel, you are still someone who builds the dreams of your boss and that the dreams are not truly yours. Of cos, you can argue that your passion and dreams lies in your job and being part of a more "macro"dream. I beg to be neutral about this. My dreams still hold close in my heart. Haha.
