In some way or another, all of us are defined by what we do for a living. Unfortunately, not many of us like the label being slapped upon us. 99.9% of the people I know or meet (myself included) wished they were something else \u2013 tragic but true. While surfing The Guardian website, I came across some interesting labels some people had given themselves in a series called Are you happy?<\/b><\/a>; one look and you know that these are people who love what they do or are just comfortable in their own skin.
\nHere are some cool labels:
\nBubbleologist (Blowing bubbles – sounds like real fun!)
\nBody Percussionist (My tummy is so big it looks and sounds like a drum when I slap it – perhaps I qualify)
\nDog Behaviourist (Erm, I can be quite a bitch. Does that qualify?)
\nRetro Enthusiast (Hmm…I like retro too…but how to make money ah?)
\nBon Vivant (What a delightful label!)
\nAmateur Astronomer (the only constellation I know is the belt of Orion…)
\nVineyard Owner (Yes, feed me some wine)
\nConvert (Can’t quite figure this one out – I’ll have to read the article)
\nGlider (Don’t know what this is about)
\nTree Surgeon (Haven’t inherited green fingers from my mum, so maybe not)
\nPoet (Not lyrical enough – I’ll leave this to good friend Monoceros)
\nProtester (Later I kena<\/i> arrested by Singapore gah-men then how?)
\nIce cream vendor (better not – I might eat myself poor, not to mention fat)
\nCurler (NO idea what this is)
\nHuman Statue (I’m too restless a person, so no go)
\nLife Model (Does that mean getting paid for just posing for artists and photographers? If so, I want. But I guess I’m not pretty enough!)
\nChainsaw Carver (Er, maybe not. I might end up hurting myself, the klutz that I am)
\nRural Tourism Adviser (Forget it – no such thing as “rural” in Singapore)
\nPipe Aficionado (Sounds cool if these are musical pipes we’re talking about)
\nAsparagus Grower (Ooh yes, I’d love to be a part-time farmer!)
\nAntique Clock Restorer (It’s a cool job to be able to turn back time)
\nThe labels that I would like for myself in an ideal world would probably be all these:
\nFood and travel writer
\nEpicurean
\nTraveller
\nOptimist
\nHedonist
\nTaitai
\nHorse Whisperer
\nDog trainer
\nDaughter
\nSister
\nFriend
\nWife
\nMother
\nAnd what is\/are your label(s)?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
