I wish I wish..
Posted by: OLLie on: May 24, 2006
When I was young (aka 3 years old), my ambition was to become my Mom.
I wanted to wake up early in the morning, put on my cool chic working clothes, stand in front of the dressing table and do my makeup with my mouth slightly open ’cause there’s no way one can do the eyes with the mouth closed.
Then off to work I go, ’cause “If Mommy never go to work, Mommy would not have money to buy toys for you.”
–
When I was 6, my ambition was to become a kindergardent teacher.
’cause I wanna sing nursery rhymes to kids, bring them to the playground to play and give them biscuits with milo during snacktime.
–
When I was 12, my ambition was to become a lawyer.
Just simply because the Hong Kong drama serials’ lawyers were so damn cool.
–
During my secondary school years, I wanted to become:
the first female astronaut to explore the Universe,
the first female Prime Minister in Singapore,
a doctor ['cause of those damn HK drama serials again],
a forensic scientist [ditto],
a theatre actress,
a teacher ['cause of GTO la.]
a lawyer ['cause Ch 8 showed another HK lawyer drama serial]
–
But by the end of my secondary school years, my only aim was to get into RJC/ HCJC. (I failed to get there of course.)
–
In JC, my only aim was to get into the uni.
And to become an MP. 
–
Now?
My only dream is to get my deg, get a decent job (preferably something that I love), find someone to fall crazily and madly in love with, get married, have kids and lead a healthy and happy life.
It’s amazing how after a whole big round of high and mighty aspirations, my current dream is to have a happy life. There’s no need to be filthy rich, just enough to get by, and maybe a little extras for some indulgence from time to time.
Of course, if I can be filthy rich, it would be great. Then I would be able to:
*points at the Adidas bag*
*points at the New Urban Male bag*
*points at the pair of Novo wedges*
*points at that Espirit blouse that my Mom think is too expensive even at 50% off*
*points at Marie Franc Bodyline package*
“I want this, this, this, this and this.”
*swipe card*
Ahh.. I’m allowed my few sandcastles in the air at times la hor..

erinna: You know what? I actually toyed with the idea of taking nursing in poly instead of going jc.
Anyhow, teaching relatives is totally different from teaching strangers. I have more patience with strangers, which is so totally wrong.
Now I just want to have a happy life with someone I love. (:

long long time ago I want to be astronaut… no NASA here 
then I want to be musician… but I can’t play any instrument
then I saw the multimedia animation by the computing club, so I want to be animator… I push my way to JC to Uni so that I get to learn those… But in the end I learn programming and I sucked utterly in matrices (required to do animation)… and I missed my honors programme
Now I … just want to get the hell out of Singapore

I’ve always wanted to be an actress or singer!! But too bad… no looks, cannot sing.. sigh… I wanted to be a teacher when I was young cos teacher got a lot of school holidays like their students and they get lots of gifts on teachers’ day!! hahaha!! Then doctor but I suck at science, then lawyer but I saw the law textbooks and gave up… Now I just hope to climb up the ladder, earn enough to give myself a comfortable life.

When I was in Kindergarden, Primary, Secondary, JC, Army, Uni, my ambition is always the same…
Staying alive.

pmg: conquer the world? peaceful abit ok? I want to lead a happy life while you do so.
winter: haha.. It’s alright de what. Just that the students suffer only. My temper is bad too. But surprisingly, I have never blown up before my tuition kids before.
faeline: ahhh.. Musicians are always so damn cool right? I have no musical genes inside me AT ALL. Can’t play a single instrument except erm, the recorder. haha..
An: It’s damn sad right? The way all the reality hits and all our high and mighty aspirations have to take a backseat. I’m just too dumb to get into medicine.
KingMeng: Stay alive? You mean you struggled through everything? No other aspirations at all?

I want to be a teacher but perhaps not in the formal academic context.
I want to be one who shares and imparts his knowledge and wisdom to those who has an interest to learn.
Have been doing that since young and will continue to do so for a long time to come.

JayWalk: I’m pretty sure that you will be a great teacher. Actually hor, I can imagine you being GTO. Damn cool kinda teacher.

milktea: I’m glad you like it.
I was a damn ambitious child back then. You should hear me telling my relatives, “I wanna build a house that has 3 storeys so that we all can live together. First storey for you all. Second storey for Mommy and Daddy, and the third storey for me.”
Ahh.. The innocence back then.

Sometimes, it’s a lucky thing when you don’t get to fulfil your childhood dreams. For example, when I was young, I wanted to be a mum too.
May 24th, 2006 at 11:42 pm
when i was young, i don’t know what i wanted to be.
When i was in sec sch/jc/army, i wanted to be a pornstar!
From uni onwards, i only wanted 1 thing: To find a rich ger and marry into her family so i dunch need to work!! wahaha
i used to look forward to staying together with my loved one, till we grow old and pass on, but she decided that things ain’t that simple and decided to leave me….

weige: P0RNSTAR?!?!?!?!! Why? So that you can have s3x with the female p0rnstar har? haha..
I think the simple things are the most beautiful things.
May 25th, 2006 at 12:07 am
er…not really just to have s3x la…more of like being able to fulfill my fantasies and at the same time do something that i enjoy doing! (no pun intended) *shy*
May 25th, 2006 at 12:09 am

in kindergarten, i wanted to become a nurse.
in early pri sch days, i wanted to become a doctor.
then late pri sch/sec sch days. decided that being a doctor is too tough. wanted to be a scientist instead. (i LOVE science back then, i still do actually..)
then in jc days, toyed with the idea of becoming a teacher. looked at my sis/tuition my cousins.. decided that since i had no patience with them, i didn’t think i was suitable for that career. heh.
and now, i dont really know what job to do.. but i do know that i wanna get married with someone i cant live without, who loves me back, have kids, grow old with him and lead a comfortable and happy life.
