Selection

I had a really, big dream. There were so many labels I put on myself. My future self.

A famous indie illustrator? Yes. A cool quirky musician? Yes. An environment hero? Yes. A vintage ootd photos girl? Aye aye. An artsy brand owner? Yap. An international pianist? Yes. An influencer? Oy. An animal lover? Sure. A wellknown violist? Yes. A gorgeous best-selling author? Yep. Any other choices? YES. It's insane.

I searched through Pinterest and Googles, what kind of life I want. Every category, I gathered so many pictures--artists in their house, musicians on stage, gardeners on field, fashion bloggers on the road, and blah blah blah. I got myself busy: colourful sheets of paper and art tools on my desk, paints that get dry easily, books to take notes on everything, unarranged music sheets on my piano, silly fancy dresses and novelty bags, expensive organic cosmetics in my wishlist, dreams about adopting a siamese cat or a samoyed dog, photos of hot guys...

Eww. I must say, it was really...really cluttered.

Then...I drew myself into a big confusion. I couldn't practice piano because I wanted to sew totebags but then I didn't want to sew totebags cause plushies will be better, I had an exam in one hour but I wouldn't concentrate and searched for new vintage shoes in the internet, brought myself into grudge for being envy to other people who seems to be more successful and popular with amazing photos of them spreadin' around the globe!

As a result, nothing I worked on satisfied my soul.
So I went to see some sample houses...

Well it's not the main theme anyway, but I just want to paste them, these photos from the past I took.

The point is, the first thing I do to separate my greed and my true purpose is to affirm that:
I just want to live well, in a harmonious surroundings. I have to make my living nest a paradise for my spirit, doing what I love, knowing what I really can't live without. 

Because I was this kind of girl before: 

too many things to do til I decided to procrastinate anyway, tho' everyone needs a break, but not a break with purposeless clutter like this...

Meanwhile, after a period of time, I saw these... 

I will probably change this room into a practice room--if possible, so, put a baby grand piano inside and music stands and my viola, and simple bookshelf! 

I like this house's parts--it's privacy-friendly. 

small, but sleek <3 

and she also needs space to play and sleep or to monitor people :p 

And how fun it is to put some photos that remind me of delightful memories:

sold on Huraya, but I want to make sure I won't forget the cover's decoration! 

OK, a short story about my trip anyway. As a pianist. 

Let's start with pictures: 

this capsule hotel, I'll never forget the washing machine midnight tale, lol 

I usually took photos of stuff I buy during a trip. But (thankfully) it's not a 100% vacation trip, more like a working trip ( had a lot of fun and a lot of people!) with a Steinway Concert Grand touch bonus lol, and, sure, I didn't have much time to gather souvenirs--tho' I still bought some little memorable touches like a cute bookmark, etc.. Almost all the things I purchased are small and for my beloved ones! Like for my parents, boyfriend, besties, teachers, and all. I also made sure those are functional things. Bookmark for bookworms, pencils for students, tea... Lol. It feels better, you know.

What's even better? I've no choice of selfish ootd-obsession. We were arranged to wear uniform for each day, similar jackets, and the only fancy item is our competition costume--a two-piece dress from sparkling songket. I didn't experience any legs injury, eventho' I walked sooooo many times and so faaar away. Perhaps because I put my trust only on a pair of walking shoes (Skechers, btw), without anymore desire to wear a gorgeous oxford shoes. Hahaha. And, people, one backpack for all ocassions!

AND THIS IS MY DREAM ROOM

Forgive me if this post has no real structure, but I just need to write things down. Hehe. Hope you enjoy it! ;)
