How the heck am I supposed to write a letter to my dreams? Quite stupid right. Maybe what I'd do is tell you babies what I dreamt to be when I was younger. So those who actually follow my blog or know me personally knows that I used to play netball. I remember vividly in Primary 3, I needed to choose an ECA. It used to be ECA (Extra Curricular Activity) back then lah hahaha then it changed to CCA (Co-curricular Activity) when I was in secondary school.
K back to Primary 3 ah, I was like nine years old? Yeah nine. I wanted to join library cos I like to read. My mom made me read a lot of books by Enid Blyton and then subsequently Roald Dahl. Personally, I love Matilda the most. I still do and always will. Digressions aside, so yeah I really wanted to join Library but my mom was like bugging me to join netball cos she used to play netball as well when she was still *ahem* young and fit. To be honest, I was totally against the whole idea. Believe it or not, I was a really timid child and quite anti-social (Ya I know, vast difference as compared to now) but out of respect for my mother, I just went ahead for the selections. Little did I know, that small encouragement that my mom gave became passion for the sport. I wanted to be a netball coach and even play for Singapore one day just like my coach, Yeeleen. Seriously haha, I know it sounds so far-fetched but yeah. I really wanted to. I played for my alma mater and joined a club (Sneakers Adidas) and then 10 years flew by. I wasn't the best, obviously but I love how the sport made me learn things that cannot be taught in the classroom. I met many amazing people through netball, sent me to places that I could never reach on my own.. It was a good platform. But such a pity, I made one of the stupidest decision to leave my club in 2008. I swear stupid is just an immense understatement.
Sneakers gave me a break for my O levels examination and then the lazybones kicked in major league time and then I sort of grew up? I didn't do too well to get into Lasalle Collage of the Arts and slowly the transition onto becoming a young adult weighed in. I got (well, had. I no longer work for Thicas) a job. Such a pity really, due to poor time management and lack of discipline, I lost a part of me that I loved so much and another misery? I gained a lot of weight. Part of me wants to join back the club but I am scared of commitments. I'm afraid to commit knowing that I once gave up easily. Sometimes I just wished I was brave enough to surpass all that. Okaaaaay, so moral of the story? Follow your dreams, do what makes you truly happy, work hard towards your goals and lastly, don't be like Sha. Thank you for your time to read. x
