after an insanely long hiatus from the weird and wonderful world of blogger, i have decided to stage my comeback.


ok, not really. i am just taking a SHORT break from studies, and decided to brush the dust off this page and bring it down from the attic (or up from the basement).


anyways, past few months of 2009 have been play play play play play play play play, SHIT exams are here, study study study. and now i'm in swot vac (our study week) and 5 days from my first veterinary science exam paper. wow. even though the course is rigorous, and the competition is high, it still amazes me when i take a step back and go, "I'm actually studying to be a vet!" and just a short while ago, i was still in nappies running rounds in the playground pissing off my parents. thus is the miraculous nature of hindsight and reminiscence.

i thought it would be nice to log my dreams of the future. of course, dreams are just dreams, many may not get fulfilled, some may even be forgotten. cut the crap about you having to be the one to make your dreams, in the real world, hopes get dashed all the time, and people rarely have the perseverance to see their way through to their ultimate goals in life.

then again, for the benefit of my future worldly-wise and jaded self, here's where i hope to be down the long and winding road.

i want to work with wildlife.
i do NOT want to spend forever in a vet clinic in singapore, pushing papers and seeing cats and dogs, and dogs and cats. and the occasional rabbit.
i want wolves, cheetahs, polar bears, owls, lemurs, giraffes, elephants, pandas, and every other beautiful creature of nature out there. i want to put my veterinary skills to good use, but at the same time, devote time to conserving wild animal populations and studying wild creatures.

i want to live in a european country. i want to speak the language, sample the cuisine, rub shoulders with locals and explore the lands. i want to experience the liberating feeling that the world is bigger than the confines of my home country, extending far beyond the barriers formed by the skyscrapers and high-rise apartments of singapore.


and believe it or not, those are the only major goals i have planned. clearly, i need to spend more deep, reflective time with self and get to know me better. also, i need to think further ahead and plan in advance. then again, it's sometimes better to have lesser expectations to prevent any crippling disappointments. okay, i admit that's a tad pessimistic, but ah well.

and hence i make my departure, away i go to my crisp stacks of notes and glaring desklamp for the night. i bid you well.
