This is another in office piece of work, enjoy:

I’ve been thinking about going round the world, not sure how
I want it to be.. one side of
me lingers on the warming touch of my home and home ground alike. Stuff like waking
up to the familiar surroundings for the past 20 years. The pampered little gal
within me, who just enjoys being spoilt in all ways. Being
daddy’s “small treasure”, which is dictated by his Cantonese nickname of “Xiao
Bao” accompanies by his deep throaty voice.

Everyday I come home to an appetizing course of dinner, with
Wolfy hovering around the table. A jetset life wannabe with my own personal
cook & laundry service.. I can barely do
housework. With TVs at every turn, and enough wireless phones lying around the
house for long chats. The always overloaded, well-stocked fridge, to fill very
hungry pang I have.

With my family within reach, to have my mom to turn to
whenever I need one of her comforting counseling sessions, Dad providing
sponsorships for all sorts, and Bro to argue with… over the car, dinner or the computer.
I mean this is my family, who can ever replace them. We are bonded in blood
ties and we know each other the so well... growing up and old thru’ the years.

Yet there are parts of the world I wish to explore, being so
untravelled.. I feel the urge to get out and
experience the out of the ordinary. To see sights and sounds
and people. I no longer see the need to settle down, to do what is
expected, but to live life to the fullest. I dun want a simple life; the
natural sequence of life events of getting married, having kids, a good job,
buying a big home.. or the
Singaporean dream as you may call it.

Being young and undecided with what I wanna do with my life,
one thing is definite.. that’s
going around the World.. but as I said my piece, some
of my closest friends told me that it ain’t that rosy, even if it is to work
and live overseas. They reminded me of the blatant culture difference, which I
have with expats even back here at home. However, I’m still in denial, cos i
really love the culture that I’ve experience with friends who came back from
abroad or while visiting them there.

Going around the world is a big thing, and I’m not talking
about taking holiday or short overseas exchanges. I just wanna live my life
overseas for a few years, I wonder how?

Next on my wish list is to find someone who will travel the
world with me.. I dun need someone to buy the world
for me.. I dun need to own the world..
just to live in it..and
hopefully to do some “savior” work along the way. Instilling peace,
spreading love and lend a helping hand to the less fortunate. I meet
some but I haven’t found someone who really give out
that spark, maybe it needs to be cultivated for the fire to burn brightly. As
those fireworks that goes up into the night sky.. those.. they dun last a lifetime. Like
that of a eternal fire, I want mine to burn thru’
eternity.

Around the world, it’s a thot that’s stuck in my head for
now.. even though it won’t be
anytime soon.. it started me thinking of the infinite
possibilities for my life.. Like a dream that comes so vividly, it might just
fade away if I dun hold on...
