My Dreams

Dreams manifests into a hope that pulls us onwards, toward a goal, toward continually existing, toward finding meaning in this thing called "life".

There was a dream that goes this way.

I would study hard, but just enough to get reasonable grades in school. Doesn't have to be the best grades because they don't hold any meaning later. Waste of time. Then get into well known University, do well and get a job even before graduation. Work hard, get comfortable. Get own car and own small pad. High class condo or apartment with state-of-the-art security, in-house facility and spacious safe parking. Have good friends, doesn't have to be many. We all know what "many friends" entail. The superficiality of it. However many contacts means differently. Have a few interesting high quality admirers. Sweet life of the singles.

After some time, probably meet The One. Have a high flying interesting ever passionate courtship. Small, intimate homey proposal yet filled with magnitude of meaning. SMALL but talk of the century wedding. A wedding that people will remember for its company and good food. Not meaningless things like decor, location, dresses, crowds and gossips. The honeymoon would be a simple getaway yet with the best luxuries available. Meaning don't have to go far, just a nice location nearby but having the best of the best such as bulter services, presidential suite, personal massuer, private jacuzzi and pool. Constant champagne, only the finest dark chocolates, and tons of lovely fresh flowers everyday.

Home sweet home would be a tiny small cottage, in Malaysia case, house i guess. Haha. Just something small and cute. Warm and homely. Huge cushion sofas should fill the hall, beanbags, plush toys and perhaps a couple of scented candles. Definitely decorative lamps, one or two. Then dining area would be normal. Kitchen however must be once again, state-of-the-art equipment and cabinets. It must have an island where I can do the work. All house toilets should be dry and pleasant smelling. It would have funky decors. Bedrooms would have different statements of culture. Exterior, would be a carpet grass garden with lotsa beautiful flowers around like spring time.

And the rest of life. Haha. My home sweet home dreams are a bit conflicting but I'll be getting there.

There's another dream that goes this way...

If only...

We lived in a world without money.. A world that thrives only on friendship, love and the well-being of its inhabitants and co-inhabitants.. A world that does not necessitate crime, hate, war, jealousy, rivalry and bitterness.. How would this be?

We would live in forests.. have our own tree homes, firewood... we would eat whatever the forest provides or even the sea or river.. We would no longer need jobs, so we could spend time hunting for food.. And when we're done, we could spend time with our families, or with nature or our pets.. A much more enriching way to live do you not agree? We could wear animal skins (only when they're dead, we do not kill for clothes) or we could look for cotton and weave fabric from there. We can tap rubber from rubber trees to make shoes and slippers.. When we're bored, we could always interact with others or create games from things around us... bask in the sunshine as much as we one... if we fall sick, there are always medicated plants around...

life is the way it is today because we made it so... it is actually made up of a lot of things that isnt necessary, that we could do without... things that are designed to give us more time so that we could spend more quality time with our families and friends.. not so that we could work for longer hours, earn more money and fight and compete with one another for unnecesary positions that will once again start the circle... higher position, work longer hours and earn more... yes... but spend more time with loved ones? but people tend to forget these.. once they have made something that can do a task in a much shorter time, they see the profit it brings in, then the greed starts, the marketing begins.. the innovation begins... all the name of having a better quality life... truly is that happening?
