the roads that lead me there are winding
its now 1230am and i just got home from work not too long ago. didnt really have a proper dinner..i just had home cooked carrot cake by my mum, a kiwi fruit, tomato juice and chocs. i'm not really tired from work, but neither am i energetic enough to hit the books to study even just for awhile.
Work was great, the pace was pretty slow tonight and it actually gave me a chance to practice my service sequence and interact with some of the regular customers. Btw, i'm working part time at this restaurant called Cellar Door off bukit timah. Anyway, I've realised that i can learn alot from my managers in many areas in the hospitality industry. Ok i'm not gonna describe the different jobs done by all of my managers. I'm just gonna blog abt one, who has really talked to me about things that really matters, making the right choices and decisions in what i really want to specialise in the hospitality industry. I'm already 19 and i'm 2 yrs away from 21, which would make me officially an adult by then. Right now..i've got 2 more sems to go before i go for my 1 yr working attachment and followed by 2 yrs of national service. I dont have much time left, i need to think about which area i really want to focus in.
I have so many ambitions in mind! I've always wanted to be a fighter pilot since i was in primary school..Gosh all thanks to the all time classic kick ass movie "topgun" starring tom cruise and his mothergoose co-pilot. Damn..the dog fights, speed and adrenaline rush...i can already feel that just by watching "topgun" and other movies and shows which features dogfights. Well, lets just hope i'll still have my perfect eye sight when my time is up to serve the nation. The next ambition i have in mind is to own a casual dining restaurant which caters to the majority. Probably not here in Singapore unless i really have a huge pool of capital. Maybe Australia..its cheaper to start up a restaurant there and there are schools which specialise in restaurant management. Yeah..big bucks can be earned from owning a dining establishment, its the planning and initial starting-up stage which IS very very taxing. Running a restaurant requires a pretty huge sum of capital, and one must be prepared to make loses for first few years. Its like planting a seed and waiting for it to grow into a tree. I'll really need to do lots of self-studying and research. I have so much more to share, but i'm getting really sleepy..and i've got school at 830am.
Looks like i've got a looooong way to reach my goals and dreams. God please help me.
