Who am I and What do I want

In the final year of my studies.

Heard of pre-grad crisis? I'm not experiencing that now thankfully but....I do think a lot about life for me in future. I'm an idealist. By my nature, I think a lot. I often asked rather philosophical questions about life. I have been described as having potential to be an author, writer, counsellor or even a spiritual leader by many personality tests. Well, personality tests can't explain 100% of any individual, so that's why I am currently not aspiring to any of the above occupations.

Have you ever thought deeper about life?

When I was young, I thought that the only place that has jobs is the financial district area. I didn't fathom the thought of people working in the heartlands. I'm not sure why I have such narrow views of job opportunities. And of course, I thought that the only jobs in the world are that of business related. Either you buy "invisible" products, or you buy real products. But now, I see the bigger world.

Yes I study marketing, and I can imagine the job opportunities for marketeers. You simply market the product. But now, I have managed to bridge the gap between the product you see at supermarkets and the product from raw materials. That's where engineers, scientists, researchers etc come into play!

I used to think Science is boring because I don't see the job prospects for it. But now, I think Science is cool. I think more people study Business than Science, so naturally the rarer the cooler.

It's fascinating how people have different perspectives and personality. That's why I think traveling brings about a hard to described kind of feeling and learning. You always get that "WOW" feeling when you step overseas. You see another city, that feels so NEW to you. You'll never get that experience and feeling elsewhere. Similarly, I never imagined myself being able to live away from Singapore. But having done that, I begin to see things in another light.

Every city has a system. The political, infrastructure, jobs opportunities. It's the same. They just take different physical forms.

I feel so intrigued in thoughts.

Yes, I'm an idealist. But I choose to believe I'm also the thinker.

So what does that makes me?

An idealistic thinker?
