| Confession #02 - An Ocean Lover |
| Tuesday, May 18, 2010 |
I love to swim since I was a kid and I always asked my parents to bring me to the swimming pool during the weekends. I just love the feeling of moving in the water, like I can move in any direction I want. Unlike walking on ground, we can only move on a horizontal plane but swimming is different. Well, if I can fly perhaps I will love it more than swimming. (laughs)
I remember there was once when my family brought me on a tour to the Maldives, oh boy... how I love the ocean there, the clear water, the coral reefs etc made me so fascinated that I just have to swim every single day when we were there. That trip is the reason why I became an oceanologist. Well, it is not like I dislike land animals though, there is a particular animal that I like, which is the snake. I like their smooth shiny scales and the way they move. I remember when I was a kid, I once asked my teacher this question “Why do snakes swim on the ground, teacher? They should be swimming in the sea” haha... how ignorant I was, a kid is a kid ya. Perhaps it is because how they move, made me likes them.
Since young, I have a cheerful nature and a positive attitude. I have never fail to keep trying after failures and I always look on the bright side of things. Although I might be cheerful most of the time but I often feels sad when I get to know that the sea animals are being hunted and killed, like the sharks are hunted for their fins etc. I wish I have the authority or the power to stop all these cruel acts. Ya, I know it is for consumption or even business but... but it is just not right to do such things... it is just cruel. With that said, now I am not even sure if breeding chickens, ducks or pigs etc for human consumption is a right thing or not... sigh. Oh well... When I am upset by things like that, it is my friends and colleagues who are the ones cheering me up instead.
Talking about colleagues, they always say I am the prettiest girl in the company, and they even submitted an application to a model search without my knowledge! They encourage me to try and to get more exposure... well, I went for the fun of it and although I did not win, it was a nice experience. I was contacted soon after by LUSH magazine to be their in-house model. I was thinking of rejecting the offer since I went to the model search competition for the fun of it and moreover I like my present job as an oceanologist, so I told them that I already have a fulltime job but to my surprise, they are willing to have me on a freelance basis if I can’t be their fulltime in-house model. Well, it doesn’t hurt to try new stuffs, furthermore my family, friends and colleagues are all very encouraging, saying that they will soon see me in the catwalk on tv. (laughs) So there I go, modeling for LUSH magazine. My latest job is a series of magazine-ad promoting a new cyber-chic fashion: the Headphone Bra. Hmm... interesting piece of fashion, isn’t it?
Oh ya! The model search competition is also the place where I first met my fiance. He is a businessman, his company is doing some sponsorship thingy for the model search competition at that time. I seldom ask about his work, so I don’t really know the details. I only know that he is a nice guy, been very good and nice to me... that is all I need to know =) Besides being nice, he is also quite charimatic and that made him the target of many other girls. Others often asked if I am worried that he might leave me for someone else, I always reply that he has a choice of whom he wants to be with, and if he chose to be with someone else, I will respect his decision but if he is with another girl while being in a relationship with me, then of course I won’t accept that. I will be very sad and I don’t know what I will do.
We have been together for quite a while now and plan to get married soon, so I hope nothing goes wrong and happiness will be with me all the way.
