not the path i chose.
No, not at all. This isn't what I wanted my life to be. I envisioned myself, at 25, to be happily married to a rich man, living the life of a tai-tai.. Or at the very least, having an extremely successful career, mingling with the upper echelons of society. And of course, having a nice big house with a nice ride and beautiful children. Going for holidays every year, going on shopping trips, walking into boutiques and being served like some tai-tai.
At 25, where am I? NOwhere near that. Of course, I have a nice big HDB flat, nice old car and I am mingling with the upper echelons of society.. The heartland society, that is. And yeap, I am constantly surrounded by beautiful children at work :P And yes, I am living the life of a tai-tai, the HDB tai-tai. Haha.
My life now isn't half bad actually. Could do better but hey, the fact that I'm alive and healthy is reason enough to be thankful. I have my loved ones here and I'm holding a pretty decent job. I am pretty contented actually. Once I survive the next 2 years and emerge with that blasted degree in hand, life should be pretty darn chill...
Anyway, the most bizzare thing happened just now (and only Aud knows the full details). And my source of comfort came in the most unexpected person.. Thank you AD, your call was the answer to my prayer and I am feeling loads better. Well, the path has been laid.. I just need to take that step of faith and WALK the damn path now... It did come with a disclaimer: It ain't gonna be easy but it sure as hell is going to be worth it...
So yeah... Walk, I shall... And suddenly, the image of travelling up to Genting strikes. You know how at the foot of the Genting Hill, you get all excited cos you're reaching (even though you're only at the foot??). But yeah, with each turn, you get all excited until somewhere about 15 mins later, the excitement dies cos it seems never ending. Then when you reach Awana, you're all hyped again.. And you fall asleep 5 mins later cos you're still about 20mins away from Genting?
My position on my path right now is akin to the foot of Genting Hill. Don't ask me why I'm drawing reference from Genting. I just am. Hah.
Right now, I am totally wiped. 2 teachers down today. That meant running in and out of classes for me.. I am soooo tired and I have an assignment due in 2 hours. And I gota go meet Ah Seng the contractor tomorrow (no, not the aquarium Ah Seng). Doomsday looms nearer... (its in 3 days, actually)
Ok, I'm rambling..

Dear Ms Shareen and Ms Sharon,
You both are HDB xiao jies or HDB princesses lah. HDB tai tais' term is for me, the married ones who live in HDB estates and can only shop like mad at those bargain shops in the heartlands.
A Jurong Tai Tai,
Jess
