I wish..
it all started with my nose. my mom was saying that she likes my dad double eye lit eyes and sharp nose and I started my first 'I wish' by wishing that I had a sharper nose. followed by wishing that I was skinner (especially my sea manetee liked thighs) and wished my mom had to tell me to eat more (instead of eating less ice cream cos I used to eat it everyday till I had double chin)instead of constantly having to tell my brother to put on weight as currently, he's like a tall, skinny white guy.
I got more demoralized after each wish, " I wish I were taller, smarter (one that goes to an elite secondary school followed by jc and finally into a local university!!), had bigger eyes, longer eye lashes, tone body... and the list goes on.
I realized that all my wishing was getting me absolutely no where. and it hit me, that instead of wishing, I should do something about it.
want a fitter and tone body? exercise! (that's what my jiggly thighs and flabby arms shout in unison, EXERCISE!!). I now run on the treadmill once a week (hey that's a huge improvement as compared to my previous exercise routine which consisted of chasing after the bus and or flagging the bus? laughs. oh and climbing the stairs of the overhead bridge(: ) want to be smarter? I've gotta spend more quality time at my pretty study table accompanied with lecture notes...
there's one thing I didn't wish for, and that was, cooler family and friends(: I couldn't ask for better friends (you know who you are, yes you!). ones who love me for who I really am, still talk to me even I were to wear the same pair of jeans 3 times a week? I've got an awesome family which includes an ever supportive mother, doting father and irritating brother (kidding! my brother's one of my best friend at home(:), and ever helpful domestic helper that's been with my family for the past 9years? (she so qualifies for the long service domestic worker award).
so every time I start to wish for something, I'd work towards being the change that I wanna see...
