Blogging live from the office on this particular day. Heh. One has to bring bread and butter back for the household. My manager, Ms N woke up at 6.30am this morning to bake two cakes! That's so admirable! Had my dose of caffeine and chocolate cake and if only everyday could be like that.

So many years of education, so many tests and exams and so much money and heartache spent during all these years, how could I still not know what I want? Am I contented with the status-quo? Am I living life the way I want? Am I appreciating the beauty of Paris every single day or am I just bound to this office job, feeling weary of doing nothing much, clocking down in and day out to achieve financial security.

Granted, many people do not love their jobs. I am somehow ok with mine. Where do I find the courage to do what I want. I know what I want to do. I just don't know what I want to do after that. We have to be responsible. We can't all be spoilt brats and run off pursuing our dreams can we? However, life is too short to wait. Why wait? I am in the wrong country. Don't get me wrong, I love France. The beauty, the cuisine, the magnificent architecture, theatre, culture etc. We should be contented with what we have?

This is a fine post by alex the girl and hope it inspires you as much as it inspires me. Extracted from www.alexthegirl.com:

"Please go out there and do. Live. Don’t be the same as yesterday. Don’t live vicariously online. Don’t use language that has no meaning or talk ideas you don’t really live. Don’t hide. Don’t copy others or live their ideas or life. Don’t fear doing your thing. Don’t fear doing. Instead of reading a decorating magazine, paint that room. Instead of thinking of baking, do up a cake. Run, walk, bike. Put that self help book down and pick up yourself....

Do. I can’t stress that one enough. Take action on your life. Make the change. No more sulking, waiting, thinking, reading, talking about. It’s time. You’re ready."
