My World

For TLP's Sept 2013 Wkly AJ Challenge, the theme is OUR WORLD.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Week 1: Our Past World

Generally most things represent my Chinese & Asian heritage.

The black cloud = feelings of sadness & nostalgic.
Two hearts = loved by two different worlds = traditional grandparents & modern parents.

Week 2: Present World but not older than three years

For my Present World, I chose 12 Sept 2013.

The journaling explains it all.
Back in 1998, I had the chance to work in a pre-school centre for 1 year. Altho the pay ain’t good, I enjoyed working.
I especially enjoyed the daily interaction with the kids - 3yos to 6yos. From then, I decided to have a retirement career in this line.
Unfortunately LIFE has other plans for me. So that idea is shelved aside. Until ...
12 September 2013 I made a startling & wonderful discovery = the school next door has just launched a new diploma course related to my plan. Altho I missed that 1st intake, I’m so gonna apply for the 2nd intake in Apr 2014.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

For week 3, we are to AJ about our Future World .. as in what do we see for ourselves in the future. The keyword is SEE, not dreams nor fantasy.

Three "ups" = 3 plans in the pipeline 
Bright bg = I see a bright future ahead of me. 
The rest are self-explanatory.

For week 4, we are to AJ about our Dream World.

In my Dream World ... I want to ...
- Be surrounded by dogs -
- Travel Around The World -
- Learn about the world -
- Enjoy Myself & My Life to the Fullest -

Opsy!!! I had forgotten to put in the most important thing => MONEY <=
Bwahahahaaa !!!!!
