I love Mean and Tribe!!! I have the habit of talking to myself in my head but I'm just relieving emotional moments. So please do not be alarmed if you catch me murmuring with an expression on my face.

I really love to eat and I like to try quirky foods he he he, but I don't think I can ever stomach the thought of swallowing bugs and slimy things. Some of my favourite foods are plain white rice, strawberry icecream, mochi, pineapple tarts, seaweed, bahkwa, chocolate, sushi, fish&chips from Manhattan Fish Market, soya dango, new york cheesecake, sea salt caramel, chewy things, bubble tea with chewy pearls, beef horfun, custard bun, tausar pao, charsiew pao, all sorts of pao, brown rice, irish cream, chocolat,

straw hat, slimmer tummy, iPhone5?, flower for my hair, clearer skin, braces, true love

It's funny how I always have so many thoughts I want to share, but when I'm in front of the computer, nothing flows out. Oh well, my school held a career fair that day, which made me think about my future vocation. It's really scary if you think of it, it's only three years before you and I (assuming you and i are both of the same age) leave the safety of schooling and pit whatever skills we have accumulated in our schooling years against one another in the dog-eat-dog society - climbing up the corporate ladder, meddling in office politics etc. This feeling of growing up and stepping out of your safety circle really reeks. I guess this is what they mean by growing pains. How I wish I'd forever be that guileless carefree kindergartener I was thirteen years ago? But as reality would have it, it's not gonna happen.

Back to career talk, I was pretty much intrigued by the talk on Journalism and how the journalist who came to our school described his career passionately as a challenging yet flexible job that one could really get used to as a way of living. Either that, or one is daunted and quits at first chance. But what really left a deep impression on me, was the lighthearted yet inspiring talk by a teacher from MOE about her ten years of teaching. Wow, take that. I remember teaching was the ultimate cliche answer everyone would give when asked about their future profession, "I want to be a teacher, just like xxx." This would invite discrete smirks from me as I really regarded teaching as a "uh-uh-no-way-i'm-ever-gonna-do-that-cos-it's-just-too-lame" choice for me back then. I was typically more attracted to the glamourous lives of air stewardesses, hotel PRs, superstars and whatnot. I mean, who isn't? So imagine my surprise when that teacher from MOE sparked something in me when delivering her speech about that supposedly boring career path. She spoke with enthusiasm and conviction which made her eyes sparkle, and from her clearly-homemade powerpoint slides which didn't look at all corporate and professional, you can really tell what she was saying wasn't just some brainwashing politically-correct propaganda by MOE. It was her true genuine experiences as a teacher that she wanted to share with us.

And so I've settled, I am going to be a primary school teacher. I don't know what I would teach, but I would really like to help little children who are going to take over our society one day to expand their love for learning and realise their potential to the fullest. If possible, I know this sounds like my inner superhero is dying to save the world, but I would really love to teach those underpriviledged children and help them live their lives in the most fufilling way possible. back to top?
