Life Goals
There is just way too many things I want to do in life. There is just way too many goals that I want to achieve. Getting a good job that I enjoy for the rest of my life is definitely one of the many goals that I have. Quoting from Marc Anthony,
This is definitely the best working goal anyone could ever have. But here comes the problem. I've got a lot of things that i enjoy doing in my life. And unfortunately I have too many dreams. Unfortunate or not that is a question i've been wondering for life. At the age of 22 and being an international student in Melbourne I've seen so many things and met so many people that differs from the people I met in Singapore. It surely gave me a lot of an open eye experience. I had a classmate of same age, 22. She was already holding a Honours Bachelor Degree in Music and was currently pursuing her study in another degree. And then there's me, a 22 year old from Singapore who was just about to pursue her FIRST degree. It is so interesting to see what one who was not born in Singapore was able to achieve at the same age as a Singaporean.
I'm probably just babbling whatever i have in mind right now cause that is the point of this whole blog ever since my teenage years. LOL.
Now back to my dreams, there are a lot of things that i want to do in my life, for life.
1) I want a job that allows me to travel the world and allow me to see places and people (who doesn't right?)
However the point here is that i want to travel to places that is different from Singapore. Singapore is a first world country and it is all modernised. I want to explore rural places, climb mountains and meet people who lives in basic living conditions. None that lived in an apartment. I want to travel and do voluntary work. That would be a dream travelling job. I wouldn't wanna travel to shop. I want to travel to see the different side of the world. I want to be comfortable with nature. I love going to villages. I want to travel for a good cause. Sure, i would like to travel to places such as Japan, Korea, Europe and America but those are places i want to go for my own leisure, not for work.
2) I want to be a radio DJ
Yes, ever since i was in secondary school i've always wanted to be a radio DJ. I started off in Secondary School as a student councillor who does emceeing and morning announcement for the school. I enjoyed doing so. I wouldn't say i was good at it because definitely my seniors were better. But i enjoyed entertaining. I've also always played pretend with my friends singing to malay songs and pretended we were Radio DJs. Well, we had a dream back then and it was good. I probably wanted to be a Radio DJ because i've listen to the radio ever since i was young. You see, when you're being brought up by your gramps, well you know gramps and ancient stuffs like radios? Yeah that. But then again, I enjoyed media. That explains why i'm in the Media Industry right?
3) I want to earn enough money to send my parents and my gramps to Mecca.
Every muslim dreams to go Mecca. Even i dream to go to Mecca one day. Who doesn't? It is the most holiest place on earth. One could just die there and go to heaven(literally). I wish my parents and my gramps would be able to live that long for me to send them to Mecca. Of course, i would want to go with them too. I mean if i had millions of money, why not send my whole family there right? Pilgrimage Hajj is one of the muslim goals in life. But surely, the travelling and travel package to do pilgrimage hajj costs a bomb. And especially when you want to send not only yourself but your whole family to do Pilgrimage Hajj. Well, i hope i was able to live that long and healthy to be able to do so. Definitely my life goal.
4) I want to earn enough money to send it to mosques, religious schools and to built religious schools.
This is my ultimate life goal once i'm done sending my family and myself to Hajj.
Now, you see it is only 4 goals but it is a lot. Because it takes a lot of time, a lot of energy and a lot of perseverance. Do not question why a beautiful marriage is not part of my ultimate life goal because i am going to explain that now.
Sure marriage is a Sunnah and by doing so we get the good deeds. But, I believe in Allah's planning. If the time comes, it will be there and if it is meant to be a beautiful then it will. Surely Allah has prepared a testing road for me and I am sure Allah does it because Allah loves me. Allah loves everyone. Being an only child, i feel that i have a huge responsibility. Go ahead and say i'm thinking too much because yes i am. You see, i always question what if my future husband is one who is a family man and his priority would be his family and not mine? What if my future husband is one who is extremely controlling and would not allow me to visit my parents that often?
I want to repay my parents as much as i could for all the things they have done for me. Bringing me up, sending me to school and educating me the way no other parents could. I have a lot of repaying to do and surely i would not be able to repay them all. But i want to do enough for them to feel satisfied for bringing me up. I want to be a faithful daughter to them. I want to send them to Jannah. I want to fulfil their wishes. I want to take care of them the way they've taken care of me all these while. So what if my future husband is not one who would understand this? In all honesty, I am afraid of marriage. Not only that, I am afraid of the opposite gender called MAN. They have the power in marriage. I want to be a faithful wife. I want to attain Jannah. I want a marriage that could bring both my husband and myself to Jannah. I'm afraid of not going to Jannah. Because Jannah is every muslim's ultimate life goal. And surprise surprise, i don't do dates.
And there you have it, my life goals.
