My Pink Parlor (Part I)

November 5th, 2007 @ 9:18 pm

Dear diary,

This post will be about my Pink Parlor which I always wanted to talk about but I never did until now.

To have a room of your own is a very blissful thing indeed! It’s one of the happiest thing that ever happened to me in my life.

On October 2006, my room undergone the biggest make-over ever, totally directed, designed and conducted by myself.

I repaint my room into pink (the sweetest colour ever) and I bought a set of new furniture – all in white (including a bed, 2 shelves and a table). The process is definitely not as enjoyable as you think but the outcome marks the peak of this whole experience. It feels so good to be in a brand new room with your favourite theme and your own selection of furniture.

I need to thank my mom of course for supporting me so much throughout the project. She’s considerate, helpful and motivating. She feels that I need the makeover because things are being bad at that point of my life. Therefore, she give me a push and here I am, in my lovely room.

Thanks mom! I love you! MUacks!

Some people might not see a ‘room’ as important as I do. To me, a room of your own has to be cozy, beautiful, tasteful, full with things that you love … or at least, not ugly. It’s the private space that you can chill out in – that you do stuff such as:
reading a book on a weekend morning;
or applying a mask on a hot Sunday afternoon;
or cry out loud whenever you need to;
or dressing up for a date;
or makes studying a fun experience simply because you are studying in a nicely decorated environment.

“All of these matters very much to me – more than you can imagine…”

Nobody made me adopted this weird ‘hobby’; i’m not influenced by any media; I think it’s in my roots. I remember myself sketching my own dream room on a piece of paper when I was as young as 12 years old.

And finally the piece of paper can be executed with a budget control before I turn 20.
