Un-intention eavesdropping

When i was sitting alone doing my work in Starbucks...
I didn't mean it, i couldn't shut my ears... so i overheard an interesting conversation between a well-to-do lady and male friend next to my table.

Man: how are you doing recently? been busy with your kids?
Lady: ya, the usual. Your children must be quite big already huh... are they still in school?

And the conversation went on.... and when the ball was thrown to the man...

Man: You have a husband to support you and a maid to take care of your household. i am curious...so, what do you do everyday?
Lady: err... shopping....like that.. nothing much.... (trying to dig something out from her head)

Man: Is there anything that you will look forward to everyday when you wake up?
Lady:... errmmm......

Man: then, what is your purpose of life? anything or goal that you can work towards to?
Lady: ehh.......

The male voice got louder as he went on, and the lady was dumbfounded. Sounds quite crude, maybe... but these at least set us thinking. What do you look forward to when you wake up everyday?
