Things
Sometimes I feel powerful–Like today, i was in my tennis shoes,short pants and knitted tanktop,running across the huge market with 3 big black bags full of fabric. Miracle–I’m even starting to find my bearings! (Attn: I’m the kind of girl who would still get lost even if I’d travelled the same way a thousand times.) I think they are 7 kilos at least.
Going to the fabric market makes me happy sometimes–when I find beautiful fabric or accessories, but the trip itself is always tough. By the end of every trip I was normally very very dry. Sometimes I ask for water in the store, but I do not carry any bottle with me because it adds up to the weight I have to carry.I was talking to a guy while waiting for my fabric to come. He buys fabric for their designers. That’s some comfortable job their designers are having! I wish at least sometimes someone could help. I go to the fabric market averagely 3 times a week now, and normally 2 out of it is just for carrying my sample fabric back!
The other side of the coin is, yes I get to exercise. This is about the only exercise I do. i don;t do Yoga, don’t jog, never go to gym. All these walking and “heavy-lifting” might make up for the loss…
When i came back Kim showed me the new place he rent. It is actually a huge display window.(2 floors) He rent it for 3 months. It’s at the entrance of the train station, opposite to Ikea by the roadside, a place that thousands of people pass by everyday. It must have cost him a fortune. He must have big faith in this mall thing, because they way the cost is generating, is just too scary to even think about. For me it is just so exciting and I am trying to do my best.
In the last couple of days I’ve been in a “retro mood”. But I’m not gonna talk about it.
