I am the kind of person who likes system and order in her world. I like to do checklists and timelines to keep track of how I’m doing and where I’m heading. I don’t like uncertainties and walking in the dark. When I was younger, I have lain out my plans on my career and personal life already. However, somehow along the way, when one big aspect changed, everything seemed to change along with it. I realize that I don’t even have a 5-year plan in my life. I thought I needed to go to Singapore to find myself and explore new opportunities, but certain unexpected emotions as well as realizations are now emerging. First of all, let me go off by saying that I have no regrets in coming here. I have gained so much independence and wisdom in dealing with all kinds of people and things. I’ve learned to be patient and to be more understanding. I learned how to fight my laziness and just go and finish what I have to do, especially with housework. I’ve also met a lot of interesting people and made a lot of new friends here.
This entry is not a goodbye! This is merely a plan of where I want to be headed.
Okay, first thing’s first. In the end of 5 years, the ultimate goal would be setting up my own business. I’m still not sure what it is (or I just don’t want to share it yet.. Hehe!). This means I have to do everything that is possibly necessary to save enough capital for it. And yes, I have considered my Top 10 goal list for 2010. Jantzen has been asking me before if I was career-oriented or business-oriented. I wasn’t even sure what those meant but during these past few days of self-reflection, I realized that I am business-oriented. I guess this trait from my parents rubbed-off on all of us siblings.
I have to make some important decisions in the next few weeks that might make or break my plans, so I am really praying that God give me the guidance that I need to make the right choice.
