DREAM

I have a dream to be ...

As a kid, I did not have a big dream! I remembered I only wanted to make my parents happy and became a good sister to my siblings :).

As a teenager, I had not have big dreams! But because of riot happened in our country, I remembered I wanted to be rich one day and brought my family to stay outside of our country.

As a pre-university student, I had a dream.. to enter Monash University and study science, because science is always an interesting subject for me. And I love to try something new and different (for me, studying science in English was a very challenging issue since my mother language is not English).

As a university student, I was happy to be able to study in Monash University :). Studying time was an exciting time, but not for the exam time ~ This time I dreamed to work in Malaysia.

As I am sitting and writing this blog NOW, I am asking myself "What actually is my dream?"
I think environment and people around you determine the dreams you are going to have.

In my case, working in Malaysia was a dream of the past. My working pass was rejected by Malaysian government because of salary issue, so I end up landing in Singapore now. Searching job and submitting resume are the main tasks, and these tasks, honestly, sometimes make me to think a lot and doubt about myself. In my part time job, I met a friendly Indonesian woman who is surprisingly, has the same interests with me. What she shared to me about her vision in life has made me to re-consider my future, and shape my dream.

Being someone who is able to educate people..
Being someone who is not that noble, but able to inspire people to act compassionately...
Being someone who can communicate well to others...
And most important, being myself :)


For sure, DREAMS are achievable for everyone! But the way to get them depends on each individual :)
