Dreams

edited by Chrisjvk

Everyone has dreams. Be it to be one of the Power Rangers when we are all young, or to be a *put in your ambition here* when we all grow up. It doesn’t really matter what your dreams are, as long as you believe in it. You know, you don’t even need to achieve it. Just let them be your dreams. Something that you can dream on.

Here is my wishlist.

1.Be a Professional Gamer


I have always wanted to be a professional gamer. When I mean professional, I mean getting paid for that. It is a carreer. Well, more like make a living with something I really like. There are world championships for e-sports. They aint so common in SEA but in North America and Europe they are. Imagine you are sitting on 1 of the 5 chairs, with your own personal keyboard, mouse and headgears, controling your hero with all your gadgets while the crowd can see how well you perform on the big big screen. League of Legends. Oh. Every single teamfight, team save, tower push will thrill the crowd. You are gonna make decisions wthin seconds, and every good call of yours will lead to cheers  from the crowd. And yourself of course. Fast reactions, fast actions, fast fingers. All these just show you are a quick witted guy. They are just like other international sports games. You need to practise, and you need to deal with pressure. How you behave is how far you gonna bring yourself. But this is one of the dreams that will never come true. I guess.

2.Experience the Winter


I have never touched a snowflake before. Never. Even my mum had the chance to  experience it but not me. How much I wish that just one day, I can throw away all the burdens and just go on backpack travelling. Have like 1 week of  break and just immerse myself in snow. And take good pictures of the snowy pine trees. Oh, snowball fight anyone?

3.Be a pilot


To be honest, I had this dream because being a pilot lets me travel for free.  I had this ambition sooo long ago. And the naïve(used to be) me thinks that it would be awesome if my wife is an airhostess, then we can travel+work together. How cool is that. Oh well. Dream and reality are always so far apart.

4. Be in a state badminton team


This is a regret, not a dream I guess. Gave up training 8 years ago just so that I have more time for other activities. But now (like 8 years later) I find that I really have passion in badminton. But its too late to train for competitive plays. Recreational maybe.

5.To serve missionary in Kenya for 1 year.


This is the only dream that is still achievable I guess. I do not know whether this is a call, but I think serving missionary in Africa can really change me,  or to be exact, humble me. Looking at how I am such a netizen, even living without internet connection will kill me. So going to Kenya is different. You deal with patients, and refugees. Those sick and disabled will let me know how rich I am, and I ought to be contented. Dear Lord, louder call please.

Here and then I do pick up new dreams, or rather small goals. And along the way I do drop them off. Frankly I tell you, dear readers, I have never achieved anything glorious. Nothing. But one thing I am sure – through day dreaming, I do find values in me. And this process shapes me. Sometimes I just think it is good to let your imagination go wild, though after that you will still have to face the cruel reality.

Having that said, I’ve never worried about my future, cos someone has already taken good care of it for me.
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future” Jeremiah29:11

Rest assured plan. This is my wonderful Lord. Dreams? I can dream, but it’s the Lord who's gonna make it for me.
In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps. Proverbs 16:9
