my Dreams.. my Inspiration.. my Lifelist

-->
Immersing my soul in Sunset Lounge jazz tunes, my mind drifted…
Along with the tunes and vibes came inspiration and a hunger for a more fulfilling life.
Maybe I’m happy.. Maybe I’m too contented…
I have managed to touch on things which I hoped to do.
When I was 17, I was working in a Pet Retail outlet...
Job was fun and satisfying, but I had shallow pockets and a meek future ahead..
It was my 1st job and being pretty "chao lao" in thoughts at a young age, I had longed to sip on wine with Jazz music and a nice restaurant as a backdrop with exquisite food, and yet not having to worry that the bill is going to come up to Hundreds..
I also longed for my own apartment which to put it as a short description, will be a glasshouse suspending between the Sea and the Sky. Where I wake up to a nice sunrise, sipping on a steaming cup of Café Latte on my porch and returning home to a serenading dark sky with the sparkling stars teasing it alongside with my relaxation on the Balcony.
Although I don’t own deep pockets or my own apartment now, but I can manage my wine and dine bills, as well as own my small comfy room which is designed and pieced by me.
So, yes.. Maybe this is why I feel that I'm contented…
But it is also this same contentment which I have strive for but is killing my heart with nothing much to look forward to…
Overtime, things seem routine and same old.
With a few drops of inspiration here and there and collected into a bucket, I have decided to come up with my life list…
