I have my future planned out. I never knew it would play such a big role in life. I thought I could spend my life working under my dad's company. But I realized that if I wanna be happy, I should get my shit straight and start planning my future.
My DREAM is to become a stylist. of course, that is still within my reach but like my dad said, the demand for stylists isn't that high. So I threw that dream away.
Reality is, my dad wants me to be a lawyer under corporate law. I guess that is possible. After all, I am in the school debate team and I'm a bitch. So adding those up, i have a pretty decent head start. To become a lawyer I need to aim for Junior College, not for Polytechnic, like I had originally planned. I have to maintain straight A's for all subjects and still manage my social, academic, and personal life. Furthermore, Junior College life is pretty damn competitive, and I have to cultivate the habits of self-studying.To become a lawyer, I have to get at least B3's for my General Papers, I have to take written exams and I have to go for interviews. Other help-outlets? Not a problem. I should be grateful to my mom and dad for having connections.
I aim to achieve a degree. Diplomas ain't gonna cut it. After JC, I will go to law school, or maybe Ivy League? If I start studying, I should make it. i am sure of it. Positive.
Why I set high standards for myself? Because I don't wanna end up like normal Malays. they almost never go after their dreams, and most end up fucked-up and go to jail anyway. Thank god thank god thank god I have Chinese/Indonesian/Arabian blood.
I hope I get scholarships. less expenses = more money for me to shop if I end up staying in Washington with my godmother.
Yeah I still think about being an Arts student every now and then. I can try applying for School of the Arts, but once again, like my daddy said, the demand for arts in Singapore is very little.
Sigh. I should start studying now. Wish me luck.
