When I grow up!

I was at my mum's place the other day for dinner. I mean she told me that it was a dinner but it was more like a trap. She just wanted me to go over to clear some of my old stuff.  It's funny how I've shifted out for almost 4 yrs and I still have a lot of things with her. (I mean it is funny for me, not so much for her. haha)

To my horror we found my old diary composition workbook. Yes, the one that they forced us to write cliche topics like "I love my family", or "What do I want to be when I grow up".

Butcher, I always wanted to be a butcher

It's quite funny how I found a compo which I wrote when I was probably 7 or 8 that talks about how much I want to be an owner of a provision shop. Yes, that was my dream job apparently. Which I have close to no recollection.

I totally wanted to become a provision shop owner because I have unlimited food supplies. Damn ambitious lor.

Although I didn't end up having my own provision shop (yet), I did have my fair share during my part time job days where I worked at departmental stores! I worked at Metro, Takashimaya, Isetan, and even Toys R us! FYI: I didn't get fired and end up changing departmental store on a daily basis, I was a promoter and they send me around cause my sales was pretty good. They always say I'm the person who can convince a bird to come down from a tree. LOL

I always have this strong love for the retail industry. Years after my part time jobs days, I actually went into events and marketing before I started my own company. One of those jobs I was actually the marketing executive for a shopping mall. I even have my own team of interns! Internship in Singapore is actually quite fun I must say. Especially when you come to my team! Cause I always believe in nurturing and not just about making them do labour work. I didn't say this, it's my interns feedback. And some of them still kept in touch and has became close friends with me.

I have no idea if this is considered as a dream job fulfilled but I guess I still have plenty of time in my career to work towards owning a provision shop right? I mean like if one day I own something like Sheng Siong, it is STILL considered a provision shop?

Side note, instead of commenting on my dream job, my wife just went on to comment about my poor English. Job hazard I guess? :(
