Cosmopolitan Life

Wanted to turn in but felt emotional suddenly. I asked myself, am i living my life to the fullest now? In my friendster, i have indicated clearly this is my motto. However, did i really fulfill it? The question has been going round and round my mind for the last 5-10 mins. I have decided to play Sammi Cheng's Chu Jie and Daniel Chan's Bu Xiang Shui, to really think hard abt it.

Living life to the fullest does not equate to clubbing and nite life. It is about how you lead your life, not the monotonous kind of lifestyle. For example, clubbing on every saturday or to meet your gf/bf every other day for the sake of meeting or working like a robot everyday. It is about wat you have done to enrich your life.

Well, there are some pple who really dedicate their time to work, work and more work. There are also others who spent all their time with their darlings (though there is nothing wrong with that) whenever they are free. My question is, is that the type of lifestyle one wish to lead? My definition of living life to the fullest maybe different from yours.

To me, after examining the kind of lifestyle i lead. I am safe to say that i DO lead an interesting lifestyle. I am not boasting. I work but i play too. I love my work though it can be very frustrating at times. I have an interesting job scope that not many get to experience. I meet many pple daily. Pple from all walks of life, not confine to a particular department or unit. Some are fun while others can be annoying. I work irregular hours. I grumble. However, as time goes, i am getting used to it.

My free time is not only abt clubbing on Saturday. There are pple who claimed that clubbing are for pple to escape from reality. Quite true in some sense. It is one of the many ways pple choose to let their hair down. I club at many places. Many pple always think i club at the same old Dbl O. Not true. I visit MOS, Arena, St James, Zouk and chill out pubs.

I appreciate good wines. I like to chill out, either red or white wines with my good friends or colleagues. We went out on a couple of occasions. It will be bitching abt life and work. No clubbing involved. Just drinking and enjoying the taste of good wines. It is particularly relaxing when it is after work. oooooohhhhh.....

Then its about dating and meeting best friends. My dearie knows me inside out. Though we spent minimal time together, it is always enriching and fulfilling. We love to travel, we love to see stars, we love to enjoy the sea breeze, we love the peace and serenity, we love the time we spent together etc etc...

As for my buddies, it will be anything under the sky. You dun need to have 10 buddies, one or two will be fine. Ultimately, the things that that we went thru cannot be forgotten. We meet regularly to update abt our life and this shall continue even if we start our family. There are many who have buddies too, but when relationship blossom, the friendship somehow turned stale.

I travel. This has been a very important part of my life. I love to share my travelling stories with friends of common interest. I met an ex-colleague today. We share about our travelling experience. So lovely. I have many places in mind that i wish to go. He recommended me to visit Toronto one day, which Lilian also did. whahhaha... Well, i am sure i will.

Whenever i am on leave, it will be out of the country. In May this year, i have already visited Bali. In Sept, i am visiting Sydney. Yes. My second trip this year. I guess for my third trip, it will be either Hong Kong or Bangkok. Ha.. I am cosmopolitan. I simply love to see the world. It always bring surprises to me.

This is the kind of lifestyle i love. To do watever i like in a vibrant manner. Like i say, i wouldnt want to regret when i grow old. I will have plenty of fond memories to remember! I love my life! What about you?
