Ever since I was a little girl, I have wanted so very much to be a writer.
Over the past few years, that ambition hasn't changed, although I'm a little more realistic now. More likely I'll have a boring 9-5 job, and then write during my spare time. And then, hopefully, hopefully, I'll write something actually worthy of being published. And when I become a published writer, I could quit my job and write full-time.
Yeah, I can keep dreaming.
But apart from writing, there's absolutely nothing else I can think of doing. I mean. Some (idiotic) people have suggested being an artist. Pfft. You have got to be kidding me.
Teaching? Don't have the passion for it. Law. No way. (See above reason.) Acting? I've no talent for it, I only do it for the exam. And there was one point I wanted to be an actress on film, but I think one of the requirements (being a good actress isn't really one... connections are more important. IMO anyway) is being photogenic. Which I'm not.
But the thing is. I want to be someone successful. That is, someone with a four digit monthly pay, being in a job I actually enjoy doing, someone with the four Cs (car, cash, condo, credit card. If you're a Singaporean and you don't know then shame on you) and well. I want to be with my significant other.
That's a lot I'm asking for.
But it all boils down to this :
I want to be a well-paid author.
That's all.
I think can manage the rest on my own.

I love you.
Isn't the 4 Cs rather outdated nowadays? You can get a car and credit card rather easily. Especially credit cards. It's just a matter whether you can support it or not.
ReplyDeleteJust a question: Has this renaissance blog thing just started? I see that oldest your blog post is June 2008
The Renaissance blog thing started quite some time ago actually.
ReplyDeleteAh, I guess I'm a little vague about the 4 Cs. I want not just a car and credit card, I still want to be able to splurge once in a while and still not have to worry about paying back. (I hate being in debt.) Basically living pretty comfortable.
