When I grow up

This post is inspired by the Pussycat Dolls, "When I grow up".

When I was a teenager, I wanted to go Hollywood and be in acting when I grow up. I also wanted to be famous. That lasted till I was an young adult, when I realised that million others in the world had similar dreams and breaking into Hollywood was near impossible. For every successful actor/actress, there were thousands left behind in its path.

Then I wanted to become a model. When I was repeating my A levels, I once told some classmates that I was going for assignments in the afternoon. Intrigued, they asked me what sort of assignments. I told them a little fib that I was a model. Frankly, I was amazed that they actually believed me and that no one actually caught me on it.

And I become quite popular too. And even hang out regularly with a small group of friends.

When I was a youth, I wanted to travel the world when I grow up. And the only way I knew how was to become a flight attendant. I went for a few interviews, but was just never chosen. I proceeded to the 2nd round of interviews several times but just didn't clinched the deal for the final round of interviews.

Maybe I just wasn't the right look. And looking at my previous photos pre-surgery, I dun think I would hire me for the job either.

And after that I really did not know what I wanted to be. I had grown up.

I have always been quite talented in using the computer. I learned fast and was really interested in multimedia. And that's how I got into the multimedia industry till now.

And that's what I became when I grew up.
