Dream a li'l dream...

About 18 years ago...I had a dream...I dreamt of being the world's largest collector of Barbies! I wanted every new barbie doll and Ben that were introduced. I carried barbies around everywhere. I screamed and rolled on the floor when mom refused to buy me the ever so beautiful and pinky barbie dollhouse. Finally dad gave up! He got me a doll house on a saturday, and I spent one whole week playing house!

About 15 years ago, I had a dream...I dreamt of being a supermodel. May be the barbie fever triggered it off, but I felt that I had the bod and the mind to carry it off. And this was also the time when we went on a family vacation to Europe. I saw chicks dressed for a Milan catwalk. Wow...look at these womenn. Look at the way they maintain their figures!

About 10 years ago...I had a dream! I wanted to quit school and be a freewilly. What would it be like if I had no board exams or college admission tensions? What would it be like if I had to just travel around and do absolutely nothing??

About 8 years ago...I dreamt about something. I said to myself, this is it! This is what I wanted to become. A journalist, and a photo journalist at that! I was particularly fascinated by the myraid pictures a heart can alone feel, the portraits that would get a zillion eyes' comments, and a landscape that the mind wants to explore.

About 6 years ago...I had a dream. I dreamt of being so much in love with my boyfriend and wanted to spend the rest of my life with just this one person. I dreamt of a country life, by the woods, having a ranch, owning 6 dogs and a bungalow. I imagined doing chores with my loved one, and enjoying each and every moment.

About 3 years ago...I had a dream. I dreamt of making it big in the corporate world. I dreamt of a plush office on Times Square or the Twin Towers in KL. I dreamt of wearing elegant business attire and ruling in a man's world.

Yesterday, I had a dream. I dreamt of ageing gracefully and seeing my daughter happily married, while I enjoy my time with the love of my life.

And I am still dreaming....
