So block leave's started... That's good... And bad at the same time... For one, I'll enjoy freedom til the 3rd of January. No need to wake up early in the morning, Yet at the same time, I've never felt so free in a long time... So free I'm kinda bored to be honest...
But that's not the main point.
Being in the army has given me some sort of a buffer time to think about my future. Pretty much about life after NS. What to do? Should I further my studies? Should I get a job? What am I gonna work as? Many of us don't really think about that inside until it's too late; By the time we've set a solid plan, it's time to pack our bags and head out the gates for good! NOT ME!
I have devised a simple plan to pursue what I love and survive at the same time! We all know that in this world, not everyone will get to do what they like for a living. A simple workaround would be to treat our passion as a hobby, and maintain a job that finances well :)
As such, here is my plan!
1. Get a Degree
It doesn't matter what study it is, so long as I have a Degree! I'll prolly be lookin at the Bachelor's Degree in Creative Production offered at Ngee Ann Polytechnic as a tie-in with Chapman University. With the proper documentation, I'd be able to shave off a large number of credits!
2. Off to the land of the rising sun
I'd head off to Japan with a Degree in hand and stay alive by teaching conversational English at one of the many eikaiwa gakkou(英会話学校). All I'll have to do is chit chat with the locals and correct their pronunciation errors and such. Simple! In the meantime I can even write up articles for extra income :)
3. Save up!
Gotta work hard not to give in to temptations!
4. Open a restaurant
This is ultimately something I'd like to do in Japan. I'd want to open a Singaporean hawker center to cater to both the locals and fellow Singaporeans. What's better than sipping on a cup of kopi-O and enjoying slices of kaya toast? doing the same thing thousands of miles away from home!
5. Settle down
Anyone interested??? hahahahaha!
