My career aspiration.

Honestly, I have never ever thought that far. To me, my present is far more important. No present, no future. My current goal is to settle my A-Level stuff once and for all, in my three years in high school.

But since Ms Jee told us to do it for our own good (we must have a goal to aim for, you know), so here I am doing it and telling myself it's for my own good.

Actually, I have thought of being a novelist, a mangaka (artists who create mangas), a digital artist/graphic designer/web designer, a software writer...but now, my only aspiration is to become a doctor.

So why doctor and not any of my previous aspirations?

As I grow up and become more mature, I finally realised that it's time to be realistic. Looking at the real world out there, it seems that all my previous aspirations can be just a pastime, a hobby. When we're talking about career, we're talking about permanent jobs. Jobs that can feed you for your house, your meals. I know that it must be something I like, but I do like to be a doctor too (do you actually think that I chose that just for money?).

However, speaking of doctors, which kind do I want to be? I mean, there are so many different types of doctor-related jobs.

I did not actually think about it to that extent, so I'm not so sure myself. I went to do a bit of research, and my eyes are now in pain (there's so many...). I'm not going to elaborate about the requirements or criteria and whatsnot here (for all essential information, just go to wikipedia). There's no point copying and pasting for the sake of doing it. I wanted to interview my cousins (most of them are PhDs and Masters) but I am unable to get in touch with them...

Okay, I'm just being frank here. Still, to be able to study medicine in universities, I need to get straight-A's and there's an interview.

Haven't I said that dealing with my A-Level is more important than anything else?

I can dream, dream to become a doctor.

But my dream can never be fulfilled if I don't pay the price to grant it.

The price? The time I spent to do homework, to revise. The effort I have to put in to do my work. The attention I have to give at every single lectures and tutorials.

The wish I have made is high. And therefore the price I have to pay must be equal or more than my wish.

* * *
Nevermind, let's get on with my old aspirations. And I choose digital artist.

I have a friend who is a digital artist herself, and she draws for zbcomma, a Chinese newspaper for secondary school students. She is the one who taught me how to do CG using photoshop.

(She is currently unavailable for an interview because she's busy. Will update once I have interviewed her.)

You can go to her blog to see her art: echohall.spaces.live.com. I'm sorry if it's in Chinese, but just look at the pictures will do.

Here is one of the drafts I did using her tutorials when she was teaching me:

It's not finished yet, because I'm way too busy. Just look at my workload for the March holidays.
