Something about me

It took me some struggle to start up this blog. afterall I am a person who prefer talking than writing. When I was young, I had visions of being somebody big, but if someone ask me what do I really want to become, I am a bit stumped.

I had dreams of being a superstar, those megastars that you see on TV. However, to even get a spot in entertainment, it is more than just looks. You also need lots of luck, a nice voice, some brains, etc etc. And after looking at the "not so private" lives of celebrities from the newspapers, I think I do not want to trade my privacy for those money. But I still want to be BIG in life.

I pursued my studies like the normal student. Frankly speaking, I did not really love my university life, except for the few friends I made and bothered to still keep in contact and certain modules which were interesting. I felt lost during my university years and even contemplated quitting school because I do not know where I am heading in life. People who readily commented negatively on my choice of faculty (which was Arts & Social Science) did not help. But I held on. I cannot disappoint my parents and I did not want to be labeled as a failure who quit school. I graduated and hopped into society with the false hopes that life will be rosy there. Alas, the education system was just inadequate to adjust to the cruelties of worklife. Rules became different and though I adapted to worklife quickly, I felt more and more misaligned with my being "BIG in life" vision.

This resulted in several job changes because I was trying hard to get the best fit job. And interviewers will always question me on my "grasshopping" career path. Do they know better? When I was younger, I do not want to compromise on jobs where I can see no further career advancements or work under somebody who is just resigned to fate in their jobs. Even now, I do not want to do that. I believe that I deserve something better and that I can meet that special person or special group which can allow me to climb those heights in life.

And yes, I have achieved that.

Let me keep you in suspense now. I shall tell you more about that in later entries.
