Did you have a dream when you were little?

Do you still have them?

I remembered when I was little,one of my dreams is to be a Police Officer.

Catching all the bad guys,questioning them,and having some gun fights after that,I thought that the job was really cool.

But then I found out that,what they have to do and are doing are helping others to find their pets back,driving and patrolling around the neighborhood,doing some screening at nights,etc.

Not that I am saying whatever they are doing now is irrelevant to their job,those are also something that need to be done,too.

But,from the time I was told those are also the things that Police Officer do,my passion burnt out.

I had multiple dreams,Police Officer was one,then Basketball player.

I cannot deny that I was influenced by a comic called SLAMDUNK.

Some of you must have had the same influence source as mine.

By the way,there was a period of time when I would go to the Basketball court everyday in the afternoon to practice my skills in Basketball.

Quite tough to me at the time,due to me was overweight(I still am),I had to eat lesser to control my weight while having large amount of exercises each day.

I slimmed down quickly.

The time was fruitful and fun,I met a lot of friends,knew what was my weak points,and had a strong body.

But then I stopped playing basket was when I was forced to shift my house,to a place that is quite inconvenient for me to travel to the same old court.

Another dream vanished.

The time I moved my house was also the time I started playing Magic:the gathering trading card game (Magic) more seriously.

I used the free time which was used to play Basketball to go Ginza Plaza and play

Magic.

Magic involves lots of trading,buying and selling,if you are smart or lucky enough you could even earn from it.

Thats is what I had been doing too.

From just a newbie player to a experienced card dealer,I had learnt a from it.

Oh,and I forgot to tell my dream when I was playing Magic at that time,my dream was to become a card dealer which I could rely my living on.

But eventually,for some reason I found out that I dislike businessman.

No offence to anyone.

I stopped playing Magic when my friend introduced me a job which has a more stable income.

That was Yoshinoya Fast Food Restaurant(Yoshi).

I started as a kitchen helper in Bishan branch,had been learning on how to handle food everyday.

Met Joycelyn,Jemin,Joan,Bernard, and many many more that I cannot remember,that was the happiest time among the time I in Yoshi.

Then I got transferred to several branches,and I end up the branch in Takashimaya.

My dream when I was at Yoshi was to work hard and try to get promoted fast,hoping for salary raise,and eventually the job could feed my whole family.

But then some silly thoughts of me made me resigned the 4year-or-so-old job.
