Babysitting? Janice? No comments.
I'm suddenly faced with a writer's block...or should I say insult blockage...oh nooo...I am becoming nice now! Since we are on the topic of babysitting, let 's talk about us 3 and our career aspirations, shall we?
Three sisters once made a pact...that they were all going to get their doctorates and become Dr. D Lim, Dr. J Lim and Dr. E Lim. An ambitious dream, but a dream nonetheless. Let's project 15 years into the future..Where will these 3 be?..(fuck, i'll be like...38!)
Dr. D hopes to be changing the world through a unique social business model. She wants to be travelling the world and convincing others that helping can be profitable, that a mutually-beneficial relationship exists between the corporate and the social world. Of course, she wants to be rich also...to be able to travel and buy things without a moment's thought. Helping the world and being rich at the same time...possible? Well, we shall see. But in 15 years time, she wants to have at least helped one individual in the world out of poverty.
Dr. J will be a world famous writer/journalist (with the help of her manager/agent/sister of course)...travelling the globe and writing in its most beautiful countries. She will have a wide repertoire of books covering humor, romance, anthropological research and bibliographies (you might consider writing mine! hahahahhaha) Flying across the world to attend book signings and movie premieres, she will leave behind a trail of heartbroken guys. With royalties, she won't need to care much about financial planning and getting a fixed job. Which is good for her. hahahhaa...
Dr. E, well...she will be working and living with our parents in boring Singapore....if she doesn't start thinking about what she wants in life. Did I put Dr. in front of eunice? Well...if she continues to be lazy and have no motivation, it will just be boring E in Singapore. hahahhaha...Fail somemore la! I have absolutely no idea as to what E wants in life, so I shall leave it to her to fill this part up...
Anyways...yup...the dreams of youth....=)

Dr. D has low expectations...
ReplyDeleteHelping at least one person out of poverty is a simple enough goal to accomplish, and 15 years to do it?
It's better to aim high and miss than to aim low and hit ;P
Well, Dr D is being realistic! She's aiming for both, so it's kinda a failsafe, don't you think?
ReplyDeleteAlthough on my part, I would never forsee myself working for an NGO. Can't. Just can't.
Dr J
Dr D is neither being realistic, nor does she have low expectations.
ReplyDeleteI can assure you that Dr D is highly ambitious, and that that phrase was just a figure of speech. It's kinda hard to be specific about the numbers no?
Dr D
P.S. I don't think helping a person out of the poverty trap is that simple a task...
