Today is Friday the 13th. Haha people call it black friday is it?
Tomorrow 14th April will be my birthday!!! Hurray!!!
Weird isn't it? I always wanted to become an adult but when I am really becoming one, i want to be a child again.
4hours before I turned 18. Should I be excited? I just feel more responsibility than ever. It got me thinking a LOT. Though I feel that I lived my life aimlessly for 2 years after O levels, I finally decided on something.
I Want to go University. Though not sure what course, but I'll make sure my grades will be so good that I can be accepted to any course I want.
Still remember I have this dream of becoming a Singer and now that dream seems to be farther than ever. Worst thing a person can ever have is to want to dream big but really no talent, no figure, no looks. WAHAHAHA!!!
Realized being a fan is enough. Seeing idols ( now I like AKB48) worked hard and pursue their dreams make me want to work really hard for the things that are really important to me. Seeing how AKB48 went through hardships and get where they are now makes me really motivated. Being a singer is of course impossible now. Given my lousy voice and bad figure. But my dream to open a shop that is all about teddy bears (generally soft toys) is realistic enough for me. I will pursue that dream. People can laugh all they want, but I believe if I work hard enough, my dream will come true.
Since currently I am studying business and social enterprise, my business will definitely be sustainable, profitable and also helping people. Have thought about it a lot but shall not write it here. Hopefully, I can get grants within the next few years and really start running it.
Here are some of my wishes for turning 18 years old in next few hours.
No.1 Get along well with other people (Not sure why my personality suddenly changed from out going to introvert ever since I enter secondary school. Now trying to get back my personality)
No.2 Participate in CCA. Though I joined leo club but only attended the induction ceremony. Don't have a single friends there. So it deter me from going. If not, I'll join back badminton or some other CCA.
No.3 Work Hard. I believe in working hard. But currently I am not giving my best at anything I do.
side track a bit...
Ever since O level, I feel like I had lost control of my life. Should have gone JC but choose to go Poly. Got into a course I like but realize the course doesn't allow no music talent like me to be inside. Feel so cheated. But its my fate. Pray and beg and finally got into a course (Thank You NP!) Though its not something I want from the beginning but I learn a lot from it.
First year, went to smoky mountain at Philippines and discover that there are families living in dump site eating rubbish. Yet when they see us, they can smile brightly as if its nothing. It makes me feel like I shouldn't be complaining. From this diploma, I feel that I can become a better person. I may never become a good person, but at least, I will be slightly better.
For the past 2 years, I asked no questions and just lived my life as if nothing happen. Cry and cry at night asking God why can't he grant me my wish. Ask him why I screw up everything. Ask him why was I born. I get no reply from him. Used the laptop 18hours a day, wasting my life but not doing anything. Self pitying. Regrets. Disappointment. Never felt a need to have a reason to live for a long time.
At 12 years old. My dream is to grow up quickly and do well for PSLE so I can tell my relatives that looked down on my family to shut their mouth.
I did it.
At 16 years old. My dream was to become a music producer. So I studied half-halfheartedly. But because of my strong bonds with my badminton CCA friends, we aimed to do well for O levels and so I studied.
I made it. Good enough to go Anderson JC (If i DSA) even without DSA I can go probably gone to other JC.
But I chose to follow my dream and choose SP instead. Weeks before school starts where I realized without music background, being in a music course will only make my waste money and time. Appeal period over than they have briefing. Only 3weeks left and I am all alone trying to get into any course at any Poly except SP.
I made it into NP. Thank GOD! Thank NP!
Until this day, I am not that angry about the poor management of SP open house and how they works. I am just upset and disappointed at myself. A HUGE wrong decision I made cause my family to worry for me.
I thought they would scold me of say "told you so!" but they just stay by my side and supported me. Help me call Poly and help me appeal. I will never forget this kindness and love.
At 17 years old. My dream. Repay people whom have believed in me. People whom have helped me.
GPA 4.0. I did it!
But at 17 years old. I lived my life aimlessly. Go to school. Come back school. EAT. Homework. Projects. KPOP and JPOP. SLEEP.
Lost interest in hanging out with friends. Used to stay back after school every day to eat, play soccer, basketball, slack. Used to make friends everywhere but now in a new class, can't even speak up to ask a question.
However.
At 18 years old. It will be different.
If can be singer or some celebrity it will be a bonus, if not its okay. Every child at some point will dream of becoming a celebrity. So its okay if I don't make it.
In few hours time, I will work hard to live. I live for myself. I live for others too. I won't disappoint anyone ever again.
18 Year Old Goal
Ultimately, set up my dream business.
Before that, some sub goals.
1. Get into University
2. Since my GPA 4.0 is gone, I want to make it as close as possible
3. Treat my family better
4. Get a part time job (this time I won't quit after 1month)
5. Volunteer. (I sincerely wanted to volunteer but don't know why I never take the first step)
6. Get into shape, stay healthy
7. Keep in contact with my secondary school best friends!!!! (NEVER FORGET YOU!)
