Saturday, October 03, 2009 I have always harboured a secret desire to be on stage. Even though I don't look like an entertainer, and I may not have the aptitude to be one, I occasionally wish I was up there talking, singing, acting or dancing. One distinct memory I have of primary school is auditioning for a musical. I remember queueing up for my turn to sing along to a song. Unfortunately, my voice was too soft. On the other hand, my siblings were the ones who took part and won in story-telling competitions. Haha! As I contemplate about how I feel about an upcoming opportunity to speak in front of a crowd, I am both nervous and eager to see how it turns out. The last time the opportunity came up, I had to give it up. Anyway, I was too nervous about it. I seem to be more ready to take up the task this time, and realizing that I have this little desire helps. And that leads me to another secret desire of mine. As a little girl, I wished to... get married! But to a little girl, getting married only meant wearing a nice white gown like a princess. And happily ever after with a nice boy. Now, getting married still includes the gown and the nice boy, but it also means having to fork out a lot of money.
