"I can do all things through Christ who strengthen me." Philippians 4:13 keeps her going. She also likes to eat.

My future?

I’m a planner. I like to plan this and that for my future ALOT.. but to be honest, I do not know exactly which way I should go or pursue. Although I know very well what’s my passion and interest, but I realized they’re all 50:50. They can either make me very successful, or I’m totally dead. You want to gain something? You’ll definitely have to lose something. Agree? At least I do. And why 50:50? Basically because I’m a right-brainer. Lol.

Above all of my other plans, I always planned to study animation in Japan. I don’t consider myself as a very artistic person, but I do LOVE arts very very much. An artistic lover instead? Lol. I love anime and manga, until I thought of drawing one myself. I consider almost everything as a part of art including music, life, a woman’s naked body (don’t think something beyond that please..) and etc. BUT, I do realized that I’m not a very talented artist afterall. There’s no doubt that I can draw, but always lacking of originality which an artist must have, and I’m still searching for it. Moreover, I doubt if I can be a successful one in Malaysia.. or worse still if in Japan - the ruler of animation in the world!! (to me) I think you started to understand what does 50:50 means, especially when I’m not a rich girl. So, studying in Japan isn’t my first choice anymore, neither to be an artist.

It’s really a dream comes true IF my work is my passion, which is music. Again to be mentioned, I just LOVE to sing, I mean ALOT. I love to sing in front of people, especially my friends and the music lovers. Music represents my feelings, my thoughts and my love for God, my family and friends. Wonderful huh? Indeed, it’s amazing. Sometimes, I’ll sing when I’m praying. Instead of opening the Bible, I’ll refer the praise and worship song book sometimes after finished praying, then I’ll start singing again. Lol. I plan to leave Malaysia and pursue my dreams in Taiwan. Since I already have Chinese base, my mum is willing to stay with me there somedays, the living cost there is definitely lower than Japan, and I’ve plenty of choice working there, I know I can still survive without achieving my dreams there. Now, I’m seriously considering staying in Taiwan with my mum in the future. Love the food there btw.<3

If, I mean IF there’s no way for me to leave Malaysia (which is quite impossible) or I found my true love here and tend to get married, then everything will be different. I’ll most probably forget about chasing my dreams and be with my beloved forever. <3 Or I’ll most probably doing odd jobs and freelance for web designing. Or if God has a better way for me, I’ll just have to follow Him. =)

After SPM, I’ll most probably stop furthering my study. Once, I thought of taking foundation courses followed by degree. Now, I just want to study for certificates (most probably for web design) and start working to save money and pay the fees. I’m going to learn guitar and piano after my SPM btw. *giggle*

End of my most-probably-my-future story.

    I’m sure you’ve got what it takes to be a successful artist anywhere (and yes that includes originality). If you didn’t, you wouldn’t even be considering that career path, would you?

    In whatever you do or wish to achieve, I really hope you the best!

    I’m greedy. I wish I can be both artists (singer+drawer) LOL. Just kidding.

    But anyway, thank you so much Vicky and John. Guess I just need to work hard no matter which path I choose.

    Dai ka che…You’re lucky you do know (or have an idea on) what you wish to do for your future. =) My only hope is that whatever we do, degree or no degree, we won’t be discriminated for it. Some people will look badly at you if you don’t get a degree - as if your worth is measured by whether you have that paper or not.
    (Stupid, huh? I think we have a right to refuse university if it isn’t for us due to cost or whatnot.)

    Well, God knows best so we’ll listen to Him about it. The future is freaky 0_0 Byeeeee~

    Xiao Mei, many of my friends told me that too.. but to be honest, I’m not as lucky as you all thought. x| But I’m totally agree with you that many people like booksmarters rather than streetsmarters.

    Thanks anyway Ari-chan and of course, June as well. Thanks for the support and I’ll definitely do my best in my SPM. Being chueng hei meaning that you care for me lo. Hehe. x)

    Heya Faye! It has been a while, eh? I see how you feel, but you shouldn’t let things like lack of skills or originality stop you from pursuing a dream. Everyone has skills, and originality, and you will never know it until you give it a try. You can sample each field while in the university, as an elective or a minor; something of that sort. Just explore. I sometimes dislike the fact that this generation particularly is pushed towards a certain end. For example: to become a doctor, lawyer, CEO of some big company, and they spend all of their time in the Uni working their way to that one end, and leaving all of their passions behind. Just give it a try. You can start small, and you’ll never know what you can end up with in the end. :)

    Whatever you do, I wish you the very, very best!!

    Arden-chan! *huggles*
    I’m totally agree with you. In fact, I’m very grateful to have my parents that doesn’t force me to study what I don’t like. And my mum is being very supportive all the way. =)

    Thanks anyway and hope to ttyl ya.
