30 Days Challenge, Day 30, Ambitions over the years
When I was young, like many kids I had toys like doctor's apparatus, masak masak etc. And conveniently I had a lounge chair that I used as a "waiting room", complete with magazines, and doubled as the doctor's room as well haha. So naturally I did wanted to be a doctor.
Then when I was in primary school, I wanted to be a... Lawyer? Teacher? Something along those lines I guess. Life was pretty much carefree then so I didn't really think about the future. Though the adults in our lives did routinely ask what we wanted to be lol.
Secondary school, I think I wanted to be a psychologist? Or social worker? Oh journalist, because I love books but don't see myself writing books, so why not journalism. That idea was thrown aside after a while though cos I realized I wouldn't like the crazy hours.
Right now, the path is still pretty much uncertain. Career talks and academics have shown me what I do NOT want to i.e. anything that has got to do with sciences and maths of course. Which obviously limits the scope of jobs by quite a fair bit. Not that I'm particularly perturbed, why do something you have no interest in right? But quite disconcerting that during the various career talks, I realized local institutions are still largely inclined towards sciences. Yes there have been much improvement but the humanities sector seems to be so much less promoted.
Oh I wanted very much to be a wedding planner for a while, but I'm not sure how this sector will turn out, seeing steady or maybe increasing decline in marriages of late. Commented to dad that maybe marriages may cease to exist in the future and he was flabbergasted at such a notion lol.
But aren't weddings amazing?? No doubt planning can be a crazy affair (think Bride Wars), but still, it's a beautiful thing I think. Just look at this - engagement photos inspired by Disney's UP! =]
Ok so we're so near to the A's, meaning even nearer to the work life and I don't have a concrete idea what I wanna do. Dad keeps asking but seriously, how many of us really know? Times like this I wish I'm super passionate in something, so much that I would spend my life pursuing it and there wouldn't be any regrets in choosing that particular path. Oh well, shall just see what the future after A's will bring me to. Hope I make the right choice, whatever it is.
Wow ok so it's the end of the Challenge. Quite fun at first, not so at some parts but overall it did make me think/ reflect. And also reaffirmed that time flies like...I don't know, what's the fastest flying thing? Lol. So yay I've completed it. At least I've completed something by the first week of June hols ha ha... None of my revision completed that's for sure =[
--------------------------------------------
Anyway today was a good day. Felt this compulsion to get out of the house this morning, so grabbed my swimming stuff and walked to CSC. Despite the slight rain everything just felt right somehow. Swimming and walking in the rain.
Went grocery shopping because I've been surviving on junk without mummy around. Quite fun to grocery shop until I realized how expensive some things are bleh. Like cherries. $1 ++ for 100g so I thought that hey, quite cheap right, so I took a whole bunch. And then I realized how heavy, and hence how expensive, cherries could be T.T
One thing that made my day though, was when I went to Macs to get breakfast for bro. Left my wallet behind and the guy ran after me to return it! So so so darn lucky, I know. Especially since it's the second time in the past 2 months that I've left my wallet behidn and got it back. Previous time was when we were having vball dinner @ Marina. Left it in the toilet and didn't realize until I got an unknown call. The caller told me she found my wallet and that she was waiting at body shop 0.o SHE WENT DOWN TO THE SHOP JUST TO GET MY NUMBER because I had the membership card. So touched. Love random strangers who are just so kind. Will definitely pay it forward =] Reminds me of the movie Pay It Forward
Ok bye world, hope those who took SATs today did well =]
