What should i be when i grow up?
Erlin has been often mentioning about her rapid pimple growth in her blog posts lately and it reminds me that my facial complexion has indeed deteriorated a lot ever since nus began. Needless to say, being such a vain pok, i've always been complaining and whining about my pimples. And my target audience are usually dear or my mom. HAHA. But dear's really nice, he'll always say things like i'm the prettiest girl in the world no matter how many pimples i have and would always hug me and tell me it's alright. On the other hand, everytime i whine to my mom, she'll always agree with me almost instantly that i do have a number of pimples and she'll say it's my own fault cos i didn't take good care of it when she has been telling me to. But because she would always want her daughter to be pretty, she would never fail to ask me when i'm free so that she can bring me for facial. hahahhaa. So anyway, i think i'll make my virgin trip down for facial right after my exams (since dear ends his exam after me), so i will look pretty for him when he's done with his exams.
hahaha. what a long paragraph on pimples and vanity. Ay, all the superficiality. Beauty comes from the heart, davina!
Anyway, dear and i had a nice family dinner with my parents and my aunty at Changi Beach Club just now. And on the way back, the same old conversation manifolds itself again (the usual topic of my future occupation)...
Daddy: I think you should go into pharmaceutical plants and work in the lab
Me: (Always resisting..) I don't want that. I hate engineering jobs.
Daddy: Then what you wanna be? Kindergarten cop?? (he always tease me with that cos i previously had a police force book prize in JC)
Aunty: But you studied so hard already....
Aunty: You wanna be 'house-fly' right... (means housewife)
Aunty: Ai ya...you just stay at home and make babies lah
Dear: (secretly grinning away)
Mummy: (secretly chuckling away)
Daddy: yah. you can just go and 'zuo ren'---> literally means making babies. (i was feeling so awkward and embarrassed even though i do wanna be a housewife to a certain extent..)
Aunty: i think you should go and study 'tai tai -logy'
Mummy: (burst out into laughter)
Me: ya..then everyday i can go and yum cha (high tea)... (stares cheekily at dear)
Dear: (feeling the burden cos he scared next time not enough $$ for me to be tai tai)
what's with me making babies???!!!! are my parents thinking of becoming grandparents already?! oh my.... Everytime i try to resist being an engineer, they'll come up with all sorts of things to tease me. I personally think kindergarten teacher / baby-sitter is quite a noble job wad... sigh. i really can't forsee myself working in Jurong Island (JI) and breathing in all the toxic gas. The chemicals i breathed in during lab (esp expt T1..the titration one) was chokingly smelly and health hazardous lah! i can't imagine smelling more dangerous chemicals in JI (see jurong island even has the initials of a terrorist group...okay, i'm not making much sense)
Let's analyze how my dream occupation has changed over my years of growing-up:
piano teacher --> teacher --> lawyer --> doctor --> nun / sister (that was in SAC days when i thot no guy wld want me...) --> tai-tai --> social worker --> kindergarten teacher / baby-sitter --> housewife --> Mummy
oh my.. it's quite scary how my dream occupation actually changes so drastically with time hahaha. i actually wanna be a mother in time to come...i think it's noble k! (i know you all must be laughing at me now :( haiz )
everytime the topic of ' what i wanna do in the future' arises, i'll just tell myself...there's 2 more years..let's see how things go hahaha.
but 1 thing i think my parents and dear should know...
"I'M NOT A BABY-PRODUCING MACHINE!!!!"
HAHAHAHHAHAHA. but i do hope i have my own babies one day...
okay, time to stop building castles in the air...back to 2125 assignment..... :(
