one will be an extreme procrastinator and choose to get involve in one billion and one nonsensical whatnots which are highly not in priority at the moment, rather than focusing on the important tasks at hand. two tasks, to be specific.
i thought to myself if this was really what i wanna do in life. honestly, deep down. i rather not.
i wanna live in a small one-room flat. around the corner, i will own a provision shop. nothing fancy, just selling necessities. bread, milk, butter, eggs, tidbits, shampoo, toothpaste. people from the area will recognise me as the provision shop aunty. seeing different faces enter and leave my shop. not many too as it might be on a sleepy street. probably just one or two familiar faces. like the shy little girl who always comes with her nanny after her kindergarten session, she holds onto a 20cent coin and picks out a pack of seaweed from the container on my counter, which labelled "20cents". sometimes maybe i will give her a candy from the other container for free. maybe no one will buy such stuff anyway. or like the elderly man who lives across the street, comes in every weekend to buy a carton of eggs from me. by evening when the sun sets, i will close up, buy porridge for dinner and head home. take my dinner, have a nice shower, watch a bit of tv, wait for the news to end and then go to sleep. wake up the next morn and everything repeats itself. maybe on sundays, i will close earlier, have a small bowl of warm tau huey, buy porridge for dinner and head home. take my dinner, have a nice shower, watch a bit of tv, wait for the news to end and then go to sleep.
nothing fancy, just minimal, sufficient and simple.
