I once said that I want to have a simple life. But the things that I wanted to do in life, cannot be be achieved if I had a simple life. There is actually so many things that I wanna do ever since I become more 'mature'. You know, like beginning to think what I am going to do in future? Since I cannot get to sleep, I shall state what I want to do in my life!
To be in the Special Forces
Since young, I have always been very crazy about military stuffs thought I do not really know much details about it. Special forces would range from being a commando, naval diver or those unit specialize in handling special operation. The reason why I wanted to be in one is that they are trained to be fearless, trained to kill and trained to eliminate bad people in simpler term. Being trained in this way allows one to live in almost any condition and it is a skills that is incorporated into you. You will not forget about these skills unless you are dead. These are also the people that put their life on the line to safe the lives of others. But well, this thought was erased after much consideration and persuasion from my parents and grand parents.But still, if I were to be enlisted into commando during my National Service, I would take it!
I had had the chance to be the parade commander for my school's national day parade. It really feels so great to have all the school's attention on you. Watching National Day Parade every year makes me a bit tempted to be the one to be shouting out the command in front of so many eyes. Can you imagine the pride and glory that one will get from such prestige parade? Your family and loves one, your friends, your teachers and all those who know you, how would their reaction would be seeing you commanding the parade? Imagine your good friend telling their kids, 'that's papa friends!'. That would really be a dream come true if ever this day were to come. In order for me to have this dream come true, I would have to serve my life in the Armed Force, and see, that is another career that is military oriented.

To be an Air Force Pilot or Commercial Pilot
This came about when I joined the Singapore Youth Flying Club (SYFC). I flew the Piper Warrior II aircraft during my time in SYFC. This aircraft is the aircraft that brought me to the sky for the first time. It feels so great. Being in the air and leaving the land that you had walked on for the past 18 years, really feel so different. The feeling of flying just make me feel very carefree even thought flying is rather difficult. I would have to use my eyes to look out for aircraft and cockpit instrument, ears to listen for radio-telephony calls and instructor instruction, mouth to reply to RT calls, hands to control the control column, legs to control the yaw and mind to know what you are doing. It test on how far you can control what you have on your body to the extreme. With me joining my course, I even make me wanting to be a pilot after I graduate, either by signing on with RSAF or joining the commercial airline. I would love to fly the latest F15SG or Charlie 130 if I am inside RSAF and Boeing 747 if I am inside commercial airline.
During my school days, there are a lot of public speakers that came to our school and give talks about many topics. The talks ranges from confidence, love, teenager, drugs, making business and many many more. All these talks are indeed very beneficial and did help me in my life one way or another. The speakers are all very experienced and are earning big bucks for giving talks to student like us. So this kind of motivates me to be one to. Being able to talk confidently, sharing my experiences to people, motivating and helping them out in their life would really be a nice thing to do! There was this talk when I was in sec 5. This speaker took out $50 and said, whoever that want this $50, raise your hand, shout I want, come up, and it would be yours. So me seeing that it is a good deal with my friends supporting me to go up take, I raised my hand, shouted I want, gone up the stage and he really gave me the $50! At that moment, I really felt very happy that he really kept his promise and gave me the $50. The rest were applauding and whistling! It feels kinda great and that moment really gave a huge push to my confidence level. It is not about the $50, but it is about his way of action could bring so much difference in our life! and well, after the talk, within 10 mins, half of the $50 were gone to treating all my buddies! So, if I were to be really in the industry of public speaking, I would want to talk about the topic of Global Warming to everyone in this world.
To be a photographer
Taking photos has always been one of my favourite things that I love to do. Thought I did not mentioned or expressed any interest in photography in front of anyone. But this changed when I bought a DSLR recently. It is an entry level DSLR that cost $1.1k. Its not that bad but a good enough camera to start up with a noob like me! All my friends and family find it too abrupt that I am into photography suddenly. Its not because of the trend of owning an DSLR but because of the passion I would say. I am not a very good in photographing, I am still new to it and the pictures I took is really very normal. However, I have been trying my best to learn the art of photography so as to take down the good memories that we had and to capture the moment of life that cannot be reviewed once we passed it. I want to take photos that depict the meaning of life, compromising of happiness, anger and sadness. I want to take photos that express my feelings.
Saying that I want to be in politics would definitely make someone burst into laughter. The reason I wanted to be inside politics is to make a change. I wanted to join politics because of the environment. I could stand the way people are wasting our precious resources in something that is of not much uses. Once example would be the lightings in Orchard Road, the so cold air-con in shopping malls. All these energy could have been saved and put into better used right? I really hope that all these great malls would really take action in reducing their carbon footprints. I know there are some people who are really trying their best in doing their part, but i guess they would need to have a platform in order for them to spread the awareness. I hope that I can be the one that really take the lead in saving our mother Earth. I guess it is kinda stupid right? Maybe in politics there isn't any space for me to mention about environment?
To be a Back-Packer
I am a person that has to move around constantly. I cannot be confined in a space for long as I would most probably go crazy! I also love traveling around the world although the places that I went to till now is only Malaysia and Philippines. I am not very rich and thus, I could not really afford to run around to the countries over the world like some people would. Therefore, back-packing would really be a very good choice for me to have my wish come true! setting off from Singapore to Malaysia to Vietnam to Thailand to Hong Kong to China to India to Europe! That would really be nice if I am able to do so! Hopefully Visa or MasterCard saw this blogpost and they will hire me to do the visa dance all around the world! HAHA!
Yeah, so after so much of writing what I want to do in future, I am kinda tired! Its time to get some rest I guess! I think there are actually more thing that I wanna do or be in future, hope I am able to make the right choice and make the fullest out of my life!
