Hi there,
I am here to apologise to my blog partner, Daphnee cause I have been playing MIA for months in updating our blog; and also, I am apologising to readers that expect more posts from us, I AM TRULY SORRY ! :(
Daphnee couldn't write and update anything cause she is now in the National Service Camp, trying to contribute a little to our country. HAHAHAHA I wonder what could she contribute I bet she can't even hold a gun she is one of the most girly friends of mine. But I do admire her courages to actually attend the compulsory national service, well it is compulsory if you get selected (she is TOOOO lucky haha). A lot of my friends who were selected back then upon high school graduation but didn't want to go for it so they sort of 'delayed' their NS. Daphne delayed once, but she got called by the government again to complete her service and she realises there is no escape to this anymore so, there she goes, in the NS Camp ! HOW BRAVE !!!
Anyhoo, I was really busy for the past weeks. I had my spring break, went to Melbourne to visit my friends, got back to Hobart reality, work work and work with uni all piling up, I didn't have time to breath. At the age of 23, I realise that I shouldn't be leeching my parents and have to work my life out independently. That is why, I am studying full time as a law student and also working part time as a pharmacy assistant. Many people think that, why do I want to suffer myself, just do one thing at once, study and get a degree, then only start working. You get to pay off all your parents investment anyway after you find a proper job. But being a grown up adult, I feel so shameful to keep asking my mother for money. I know in Asian society that the parents will keep supporting the children until they are 30 or when they are really financially independent. But living at this western community, many of my friends are not getting any financial support from their parents. Once they turn 18, they are seen as a real adult, force to live outside of their parents' roof and earn their own living. I am not saying that getting support from their parents is bad cause I honestly still do that, I just think that maybe we should try to be responsible for our own life, and not just blindly depend on our parents cause they don't owe us anything.
At the same time, I am also working on my own dream. Apart from studying to be a lawyer, which I am still unsure that's what I really wanna do in life, I have this very girly yet big dream inside my soul. I want to own my own clothing brand with my own shop. So, few months back, I decided to make a life changing decision, to chase after my dream. I took initiative step by starting a comprehensive research and currently I am at the planning stage. I am still working on it now, it has been 4 months, but due to my other commitment, I have to delay it for a little while more. Also, I am unsure whether I am capable in chasing this dream, cause this requires more than just research and commitment. I have to think of it in a long term perspective, no point wasting all my time and money after all. Plus, clothing industry is such a competitive industry nowadays, to bring in my own brand is just too hard. But, I believe in myself.
This is such a lengthy post, I hope you all don't mind haha. Just sharing some thoughts, hopefully this could inspire people that want to chase their dream but do not have the courage to do so.
My life goal is to do good, to help people and make them happy, at the same time, inspire everyone as well.
Jo x
