Dreams - lost or not?
Recently due to the pandemic alot of things have changed.
But they are not all bad. In fact, I feel it has knocked some things that have been out of alignment back in place. Not sure if my thoughts of changing job is actually one of those instances?
So lately, because of the reduction in work, I have alot of time to think and wander. I started looking at other ways to make use of my time - volunteering/ studying a new skill/ finding a part-time job etc. In the process, I find myself daydreaming about another life. I wonder what kind of new experiences would that bring me?
The ranking of my dream job is as follows:
1) Vet
2) Cheese Maker/Farmer
3) Bread Maker
Honestly, not so sure about being a bread maker because it may be fascinating for now, but I imagine working in the job for a long time can be quite boring. So I realised that I am very seriously considering about venturing into veterinary and cheese making.
Vet, because I always love animals and I imagine to work with animals can really be therapeutic, mostly because they cannot speak. So in order to help them, we need to concentrate on observing them. Isn't that the kind of connection I aim to forge in life but can distracted all the time? Well, at least for me, I feel it is. I feel to be a vet is very achievable as long as I take the course and study for it. Not too concern about my age, however am quite worried about the cost. I have heard that veterinary course in universities are expensive. Also, I'm not sure how studying overseas would pan out given the situation now.
Next, Cheese making! Well to be honest, I, myself, am not so sure if this is considered an occupation and if switching my career path to this would actually help me support my family and myself. But I really love cheese! And recent;y as I was looking for part time jobs, I chance upon one for this place call Cheese Ark. So I never knew in singapore there is like a special place where they bring in cheese that are from farm to table! This really excites me! But to work there I think I need to commit at least 7-9months, which I really can't say for sure I can if I were to still continue making films. But finding out about this place has really made me realised how much I love food. Not in the foodie love to eat way, but I truly love cooking, creating, well of course - and eating too! Something in me comes alive! But that said, this may be something that i should pursue when I retire or on the side of a full time job? I don't know, this feels like those moment when you wonder to choose something that makes you come alive or something that pays the bill? The last time I felt this way was for films :)
I guess lately all these thoughts have caused some innner turmoil, both good and bad ones. So see, the pandemic isn't just about immune system of our physical body, but of our hearts as well I guess! There is really something is quite predestined about this pandemic outbreak.
