10 Things I thought I would have done as a Child

Looking at my kids enjoying themselves made me think back to my childhood. There are many things that I would have like to have done as a child.

Here is a list of ten in no particular order.

  1. Travel abroad and visit many more different countries with my family as often as possible.
  2. Become a detective. I was really into Nancy Drew and Sherlock Holmes and really loved a good mystery.
  3. Learn how to fly a plane and a boat.  I always wanted to experience the thrill of being able to control such machinery but we couldn’t afford the expensive lessons.
  4. Become a concert  violinist like Vanessa Mae.  I played first and 2nd violin in the school’s string ensemble during my secondary school years.  It looks cool wearing a gown and playing the violin in front of an audience.
  5.  Become someone rich and famous. I still would like to be rich and have more disposable cash but will skip on the famous and being tracked everywhere you go part.
  6. An Actress. I loved seeing actresses on TV wearing pretty clothes and getting to meet with all these handsome dashing men.
  7. A singer. I loved singing and still love music but nowadays I gravitate more towards KPOP then Western music.
  8. someday married with children of my own to the guy of my dreams. This did come true 🙂
  9. A lawyer. I loved watching drama series of lawyers sparing in the court over cases.
  10. A CSI.  I love watching Crime investigation shows on TV and this job seems really interesting to me at that time.

Sweet Motivational Treats on a Monday

Hi Tea Set at TCC

Hi Tea Set at TCC

Tasty foods and sweet treats have always a motivator for me. I look forward towards the weekend when I can eat out and try various different foods at recommended cafes and joints.  During one of the weekends out with R we went on a tea date at TCC while the kids were all over their grannies for the afternoon.

Having time to  spent with him without the kids is something which I really look forward to. Time spent as a couple is time which I really treasure. It’s really difficult to get time away from the kids without  and with R traveling for work so often it’s extremely difficult to schedule couple time. Time is really very precious for me.

Besides having the kids as my motivators, one of my motivators is counting down the days till I meet up with R again.
Absence does make the heart fonder and it works as a push to get me working hard to achieving my goals.

Does the potential to spend  time together with your love one motivate you?
