so recently celebrated zong you and qin jie birthday :)
day started very well, played wii at chun you's house, then went to buy steamboat ingredients, and desiree was mad at me for mixing up between bones and broth :(
then screw up came when me and zong you went for job confirmation -_- and it turns out we two could ave gone on friday, sian
and the jb we got, is cheap labour, gonna work for shop and save, help do some shelving, carrying stuff, and it's simply hard labour, pay's $5 per hour, and lucky for me, i don need to pay transport cost, cos it's only a 5 minute walk :)
but the bad thing is, this job only involves guys, so i guess u ppl can infer from here what's the bad point about this job :(
okok, that was for thursday, otherwise i rotted for the remaining 4 weekdays, and today, it's still a standard saturday, and i wished i can go out more often, although going out=spending more money, and i still want to fulfill dream 1
and here we go to topic of this post, dreams :)
on facebook, on the left, in the self-intro box, this is what that is written:
My 3 dreams (as of 14/12/2010)
1. To own as many orange merchandise as possible
2. To open my own tuition centre that charge low fees
3. and the most important one, to work as a volunteer teacher in another country, helping to rebuild lives :)
actually, i want to write more, but i didn't know there's a word limit
and today, i feel so relaxed to do lots of typing, and put my thought in order :)
1. i mean, it's obvious, right now, i only own very few orange merchandise, it's a dream to own orange shoes, water bottle, watch, slippers, handphone(though i don know if there is one, maybe an I-phone with an orange protector?), shirts and lastly, an orange NDS!!! the orange NDS is something i only saw on google images, so i wonder if that can happen. This dream may need lots of time and money to complete, and i wonder by when will it happen? -_-
alternatively, i can buy orange NDS casing, but that's only a consolation prize :) maybe an orange laptop? i also don mind orange socks, but DEFINITELY not orange hair, this is a bit too much :)
someday if this dream number 1 is fully realised, i will post a picture, of me in all this merchandise, but don't expect this blogskin to turn orange, maybe it will happen, but not in the next 2-3years :)
2. it's a dream i had whenever i thought about the topic of tuition. during my time at AMKSS, it's a dream of mine to become a teacher, cos i was inspired by the people i met at amkss, regardless of classmates or teachers :) and in AJC, 0109 guys sometimes talked about dreams, apparently, according to yibin, pisces ppl like to daydream (he said this, cos he said he liked to dream about his future), and yibin also said that if i straightaway go become a teacher after a levels, i will limit my options in life (this was echoed by almost all the 0109 pisces guys, and i really agree) indeed, it's important to ensure that u are stuck in crossroads, at least keep ur options as many as possible, and thus i want to stidy business at university, so that i can try to fulfill dream number 2, i want to appear on newspapers, saying this tuition centre produces good results and is very affordable, cos i don want tuition to be something that the rich parents abuse. tuition should be affordable, low fees such that the poor can also enjoy tuition, if they need it, also, my dream tuition centre will have an e-portal of student-teachers, such that students that want to tutor can register with me, and i will arrange deals for them, of course, this is already very common, but most ppl would not want to employ students as they may be inexperienced, hence, my portal will need to consist of students that are willing to earn much much low rates, i mean, as a student, u can't charge high rates if u are waiting for results (O/A levels) right? just accept low rates, gai some teaching experience and maybe consider a career as a teacher. this is my dream, to give students who aspire to be teachers an avenue to teach, arn some pocket money and not always ask their parents for money. ok, my stand is that if u can afford it, try not to ask money from ur parents, this is why i had to pay for my A levels, cos i could afford it, thus i want to instill the spirit of independence among these students, that's my aim, my dream :)
3. this dream was made when i watching those celeb volunteer shows on channel U during 2 years ago, if i'm not wrong. i want to be a volunteer, but to be a teacher, to teach children in poverty-stricken areas in OTHER COUNTRIES, to try to rebuild these ppl's lives. education is very important, and everyone should undergo education, ppl in poverty-stricken areas really need education, and if the kids can get educated, they could grow up to become useful ppl and bring their area out of poverty :) i know it amy sound very far-fetched and possibly over-generalisation, but another reason why i made this dream, is because so far, in my 18 years of life, i don really feel accomplished in singapore, ok there are man great ppl i know in s'pore, but yet there is thus emptiness in me, i feel empty, countless failed attempts to seek the special someone, some really sad moments when i grew up, all these amde me want to get out of this country, and if i can get out of here, and help rebuild lives, i could end up feel more accomplished, leading a more fulfilled life :)
hmmm, it feels good to type out these 3 dreams that i want to achieve, and if i ever lost my direction in life, i could refer to this again and read it, and set off to this direction that i fixed upon on myself
dreams are very important, it instills a path in you, u know what u want to do and what u need to do in order to achieve your dreams, without dreams, ur life will really be an empty shell, no substance :)
and i believe, come one day, these 3 dreams (and maybe more dreams when i grow up) will all be fulfilled, and will be able to type about how i managed to fulfill my dreams :)

hmmm, i just have the sudden urge to blog, and i think it will end up in a once in a month blog post
so it's been 2 weeks since the end of a levels, and these 2 weeks have been rather eventful, although most of the time am still rotting at home. yeah, all i wanted is just a job that i can work for in the month of december, and hopefully i can land the relief teaching job next jan, and then go army in feb 10 :(
haix, army, maybe it is not as bad as we think, but then again, it's really subjective right. all i know is that one must not be a saboh king, and just don make enemies with ppl, saying goes, one more friend is better than one more enemy :)
during these 2 weeks, did some nice things, played soccer with some ajcians, attended 4/5 outing, where initially the 4/5 outing is almost a 4-5 ppl outing :(
yesterday had dinner with mr soh, and all the knowledge he imparted is very funny and useful, all the army stories (well, most of the talking was on NS), we talked about some other topics, chinese, harry potter, marking of papers, teaching, mr soh's so-called 'experience' in jail and so on :)
i really need something to do to keep me occupied, maybe applying for this temp cashier job that i am looking at right now :)
and today was a torturous day, today started with me walking from my house to naval base sec sch, actually, walking to the sch is no kicks, walking to the entrance is so tiring :( it's like, i see the sch, and i don know where's their entrance, so i ahd to walk and walk, and because i very stingy and want save on transport, i walked from naval base to chung cheng (branch) and from there to orchid park, then took 811 and followed by 804 to northbrooks, and then backtracked to north view, then took 804 back to bus interchange and took 800 to ahmad ibrahim, and took 800 again to yishun sec, then walked home
and the total time spent in the 7 schools is much much lesser than the traveling time, cos for every school, it's just go to their GO, and fill up some particulars and this took at most 5 minutes, some schools need fill up the visitor's arrival book, but all in all i think i spent a total of 1 hour at the schools, 30 minutes having lunch and 1 hour and 50 minutes walking and taking the bus, and all i hope is to get the job :) just any one school will do :)
end of post, next time, i'm gonna talk about dreams :)
