Let's Sit and Talk About This

As we grow older, we have better dreams, I believe! We slowly shy away from the trivial ambitions and make goals which are achievable, time-bound and realistic. I used to make a bucket list-ish life plan, and I end up writing a new one every once in a while. You cross out a few dreams, edit others and some others remain as they are. It's one of the wonders of maturity, you know? You rise above yourself every so often.

And did you know people around you can influence the way you dream your dreams? :)

1. I can vividly remember the day of our first Bio 102 lab class. During the introduce yourself part of the whole first day drama, we were asked to say our name, course and OUR BIGGEST DREAM! Well, I haven't really thought about the biggest of them big dreams so I just said I wanted to live in Japan. It's true what people say-- the more you say it the more you want it! I've always been fascinated with the thought of living in another country. There's just this excitement and thrill to it. New people, new places, new food, new vernacular, new weather. So I dreamt that dream. :)

2. Someday in some place, I want to open a store. I'm still not sure if it will be a restaurant (the farthest I've gone is doing Restaurant City and I don't know how to cook, I just actually want to interior decorate and design menus! HAHA), a fashion accessories store (I've started making handmade hair accessories) or a hardware store (who knows?). I'm a Chinese and I'm business-minded. Haha.

3. I want to write a long story. Or a screenplay. The problem is I've never really gotten formal training in writing! But it would be interesting to give it a try.

4. I dream to be an art director! The dream's getting clearer now that I got a preview of the real advertising life. I should get my act together and begin drawing for real!

Those are just 4 of my 10,234 dreams. I have lots! The more dreams I make the greater the chance that some of the good ones might just come true.

And did you know this post was inspired by Glee's episode 19? Haha. I bet you knew.
