Dreams pass into the reality of action. From the actions stems the dream again; and this interdependence produces the highest form of living - Anais Nin
Do you get the feeling that sometimes, you just have a million thoughts running through your mind and you just feel so overwhelmed so much so that you just stare into space without knowing that you are stoning? Something like feeling pensive, but not actually deeply thinking about something, just letting your thoughts take control slowly, like mental yoga? Slow & relaxed mode...not likel etting your thoughts taking total control? Well, ok, ignore me. I just had this moment & then I realised that the moisturiser thats supposed to go on my legs are on my palm for more than 10 mins already, while I was happily staring into nothing at all.
Just heard some dedication over the radio, & this lady was calling from a cafe, her cafe...wow. Opening a cosy cafe is like, my lifelong dream. You know, owning a quaint little area at a side street, away from the hustles and bustles of our urban city. Ok, my concept is not exactly quaint, but something very me, a bit loud, a bit romantic...a crazy mix...well, a place where people can just come and hang out, relax over hot vanilla lattes, colourful shakes, junk food, fattening cakes and guilt-filled indulgent foods...of cos, I would also include food for the health-conscious in my menu...to make business lucrative. ;p My menus would be beautifully designed and crafted, the foods specially invented by me, the drinks uniquely blended with names so out-of-the-world, you won't be likely to forget the time you placed the straw into your mouth to savour that fancy drink you just ordered (that with careful inspection, is just a normal coffee-machine churned latte...or blender-blended banana milkshake...Okok, I'll add a few things here & there for that touch of aesthetics. Opps.). I won't charge a lot, just enough for me to earn a 5-figure sum a month & drive my dream merc within 3 yrs of opening my cafe. Hahaha! I'll throw in discounts for my friends & give my best and good friends special dining privileges... Dreams dreams dreams... don't know whether these dreams would ever materialise. I'm too much of a spendthrift to save enough $$ for these dreams, ain't got rich parents nor silver spoons. I guess I'll need more passion and drive so that I would eventually motivate that spendthrift side of me to tone down & save that mucchhhh muccchhh needed cash.
Ok, don't mean for this post to be too long anyway. Next post would be about the details of my recent blepharoplasty procedure and some pre & post-op pics. Should be up next week or so, when I stop procrastinating and being lazy.

FLY AWAY FROM HERE
by Aerosmith
Gotta find a way
Yeah, I can't wait another day
And nothin' gonna change
If we stay around here
Gotta do what it takes
Cause it's all in our hands
We all make mistakes, yeah
But it's never to late to start again
Take another breath
And say another prayer
Then fly away from here
Anywhere
Yeah, I don't care
We'll just fly away from here
Our hopes and dreams are out there somewhere
Won't let time pass us by
We'll just fly
If this life
Isn't hard enough
It ain't no nevermind
You got me by your side
And anytime you want
Yeah, we can catch a train and find a better place
Yeah, cause we won't have nothin' or no one keep gettin' us down
Maybe you and I
Could pack our bags and hit the sky
Then fly away from here
Anywhere
Yeah, I don't care
We'll just fly away from here
Our hopes and dreams are out there somewhere
Won't let time pass us by
We'll just fly
Didn't you see your blue sky now
You could have a better ride now
Open your eyes
Cause no one here can better or stop us
They can try but we won't let them
No way
Maybe you and I
Could pack our bags and say goodbye
Then fly away from here
Anywhere
Honey, I don't care
We'll just fly away from here
Our hope and dreams are out there somewhere
Fly away from here
Yeah, anywhere
Honey, I don't, I don't, I don't care
We'll just fly away

R A N D O M
because I so totally am
ONE Owning a cafe/beach pub is my biggest dream TWO Wanderlustic soul. A life without geographical transition would depress me tremendously. THREE A Happy Drunk FOUR Hate activities that require sun exposure. So I exercise only at evenings/nights. FIVE Tend to keep my room tidy when I live alone but it's extremely untidy when I'm living with someone. SIX Can do a mean swing. The playground sort. Watch me fly. SEVEN 12-hour sleep days are ideal for me EIGHT Do not leave me with a pair of scissors, I'll start snipping hairs NINE Really wanna travel to N.America, S.America, Russia and Africa TEN Closet escapist ELEVEN Hypersensitive to body language (to a point of reading too much) TWELVE Don't be surprised to see me smiling to myself, I often conjure laughable scenarios in my head THIRTEEN The word "fuck" is like "shit" & "damn" to me. Is it even vulgar? FOURTEEN Eats hash browns with maple syrup, fries with ice-cream & curry sauce with everything (you should follow me to Mc D sometimes) FIFTEEN
Cooks awesome. I should cook more. But I don't. Except when living alone.
