9:48 PM when i was just a little girl, i asked my mother what would i be. hahaha, when we were young, many of us always asked our parents what would we be like when we grow older. but i remember i always asked my mom, what was her childhood dream. because to me, i always felt that she's a smart lady, but she gave up a lot for the family, being a homemaker in the end. so i had always been interested in what she would have done if she gone on to start her own career instead. she told me that she'd always wanted to be a teacher. well, suits her though =))) she's quite patient, hahaha. and she doesnt quite give up on me, when i ruin her kitchen in her attempt to teach me to bake/cook. (you know what i'm like). and i thought of this because i saw 3 primary school kids on my way home today. and they were irritating in a cute way. they were discussing about what they want to be when they grow up. one of them spoke in an adultish way, "you know, creative's the way for me." hahaha, haha and so her friend told her, "oh, then you should start going media, like medicorp. you know (someone) wants to follow in mom's footsteps, and blah blah blah..." hahahaha. it's so interesting to hear them talk in a childish, yet mature way. and so i started thinking, what was my childhood dream. hmmm, it was never quite that of being a doctor. i think most of us in it now hasn't thought of being a doctor when we were young. we had very different aspirations back then. i think, i wanted to be a teacher as well, or maybe something else, i cant quite remember actually. and in primary sch, we used to write essays on "wo de zhi yuan" like once a year, makes it seem like an annual event to review if our aspirations changed. hahaha, it's kind of funny. but to me, it's kind of a lie, those aren't exactly my true aspirations. most of the time, i cooked something up. like the job with the best aspects and most things to write about to fill up my zuo wen zhi so that i could hand it in. and im quite sure my ideal job changed everywhere. hahaha, when i enjoyed reading cleo so much, i thought it was great to be part of the cleo editoral team. but then, my gp sucks. =((( when i watched the hongkong tvb pilot show a couple of years back, i really wanted to work at changi airport. hahaha and when i watched greys and healing hands, im really glad that im in medicine. and right now, this show about lawyer's airing on cable, and i really think that the law industry's nice too. i think im worse than those primary school kids. easily affected by tv shows, which is bad, totally bad. but isn't it nice, to think back about 10 years ago. on what we really thought that we'd become now. when we were 9 or 10, in primary school. life wasn't that tough then, we played a lot. maybe it was tough for a 10year old. hahaha. |
