Do you remember when you were young, like really young, when you were still in primary school young, that you will be asked by your class teacher to write down your top three ambitions, every single year? Do you still remember yours?
Back then, I didn't have a clue what was the point of that. Not that I see what is the point of it now either.
I remembered some of mine were:
1. Singer
2. Actor
3. Engineer
4. Lawyer
Obviously you can see that I didn't exactly take the task of writing down my ambitions very seriously. Or did I?
I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote down singer / actor. LOL. Engineer was one that I wrote down every single year. Maybe because it was the most 'normal' job I could think of, other than singer/actor. Not that I had a strong passion to be an engineer. It was just one of the choices to fill up the 3 blanks. I always had a hard time putting down the 3 ambitions, so I ended up just simply write down something, just to show the world I'm not some ambition-less child. And every year I will have different ambitions, except for the engineer part. LOL.
Of course I am not an engineer today. I'm an actor.
In my dream maybe. :p
So what was your ambition?

| My other 'ambition', to have abs like that! :p |
tembak nia... police, fireman, businessman, boss, entrepreneur, doctor, usually we just put for fun one.. haha..
ReplyDeleteYeah I was a wayyyy too serious child. Thinking so hard! Hahahah
DeleteTULS is a natural!!! Other than boss an entrepreneur, all the rest are either -man or uniforms! He sure knows what he wants subconsciously since young!
DeleteLol
And j, for a while, I thought ur other ambition (or desire) was to be tied up in chains... Heh
DeleteLOL I didn't notice that when I first read it. Now that you've mentioned it.... LOL
DeleteOh and only if I'm chained by a hottie.
i suspect when we were asked that question at that age, what we write were probably what we know from/ through our parent's lenses of what is good. and becos we do not know what we do not know, i am very sure no one at that age would put things like poet, academician, paleontologist, archeologist, or for that matter, porn star...
ReplyDeleteas for me, it was very fashionable during my time to aspire to be doctors and lawyers.
I think for my case, maybe I watched too much tv when I was young, thus the weird choices such as singer / actor.
Deleteit is interesting to see how perception of certain career/ profession changes with time. when i was a kid, singers are perceived not much differently from prostitutes. but these days, singers are idolized and many a times, taken as role models.
Delete:-)
LOL it's frightening to think that I once aspired to be a 'prostitute'!
DeleteYes I remember mine!
ReplyDeleteMost years I wrote architect as my first choice, because at that time I really enjoyed drawing, I used to sketch multi leveled buildings will lots of windows, and cars and even did some comics (which suck btw) hahaha. But reality is, I'm not a talented artist.
I also remember in one year I wrote 'postman' which prompted my class teacher to ask my mum why I wrote that during report card day. Yes, I actually remember it LOL..
I never thought of writing show biz stuff back in those days. In contrast, right now, I dream of being like a singer (even though I can't reach high notes), an actor and also modelling (even though I'm not tall enough and my body isn't muscular enough) :P
I think I wrote architect too one year! Haha... postman was quite random.
DeleteThank god my teacher didn't ask my parents what prompted me to choose singer, actor as my ambitions. I think my inner diva was making an appearance for the first time. LOL!
Thinking back, what a silly boy I was! :D
Emperor, shipping magnate, business tycoon... I dont have a child life... lol~
ReplyDeleteBut then again... you did achieve what many had dream to achieve =D
Congratz!!! =)
LOL emperor? Really? So ambitious la you!
DeleteYeah I think I'm very lucky that I'm doing something that I love. Thanks. =) Hope you'll soon have that too!!!!!
I pun tak tahu why I say that... =.=
Deletestupid kan??? lollll~
just find a fucking rich boyfriend to jaga me the end... easier right... haiz...
NOOO, backbone J, backbone! You have to stand on your own!
Deletei always want to be an architect. Even now actually, but fate isnt tat nice to most ppl. Mayb it is nice, seeing tat i may fail doing tat profession.
ReplyDeleteAsian culture all the way~
Sometimes, fate has a way of bringing the unexpected. Whether it's good or not, it's how you perceive it. At least now you are on the path of a challenging and fulfilling job.
DeleteJust to be rich honestly :) And definitely not to work! Probably some rich chaebol heir.
ReplyDeleteI always manage to pick up new words from this guy~ lol~
Deletemuack
=3
Haha believe it or not, the 'being rich' didn't cross my mind when I was that young. So naive! I'm sick of myself! LOL
DeleteAnd I had to google the word chaebol too! :D
I remember when my teacher asks us to write down 3 ambitions, my choice was lawyer, accountant, teacher.
