When I Grow Up Meme...
Gone were the days when I couldn't wait to start work, get away from boring homework and evil lecturers (ok, I exaggerate, I only had ONE evil lecturer my whole time in school/college/uni).
Being in the workforce for a 2 yrs straight now, I can't help but wish, constantly wishing, for the years when it was easy and thoughtless, no worries and no responsibility of my younger years. Nowadays, a day not contacted by work would be a blessing.
Tagged by Rach, this meme brings back so much memories of hopes and dreams, and how different it was back then, and how I've turned out...
Ambition #1: Air Stewardess
From a really young age, I've always wanted to and loved travelling. This, plus the fact that my dad worked in the hospitality line, in a hotel that is near the ex-airport, has influenced my first ever ambition. Fortunately for me, my job now is similar to that of a stewardess, bar the waitress of the air tag.
Ambition #2: Fashion Designer
Most people in Malaysia used to or still are in touch with at least one (family) tailor. My mum used to go to this tailor for the most time that she's lived in KL. With my new exposure to brands such as CK, Gap, etc (my dad just came back from the states) and also access to the tailor and fashion magazines, fashion started to fascinate me. I still harbour this ambition to this day, really... just waiting for my inner tailor to unleash herself!
Ambition #3: Environmentalist
For most part of my schooling life, I was a pretty 'Green' girl... big on recycling, using biodegrable products and putting all my savings into WWF funds, MNS funds, etc and going to nature camps. This was also one of the causes why I have not eaten Red Meat since I was 14.
Ambition #4: Zoologist
Then, it dawned on me... people need to specialise! Specialise to be special.. LoL.. And after viewing Gorillas in the Mist with Sigorney Weaver, I thought, what better way to spend the rest of my life than to live and nurture... TIGERS!
Unfortunately, none of these went very far due to the road block given to me by the Education Department, that eventually landed me to the job and industry that I am in now. Not that I'm complaining...
