A Child's dream..................

I remember when i was small, nobody i mean litterally nobody would ever ask me what i wanted to be when i was all grown up, never knew that dreams sometimes do come through, seriously, believe it or not, up untill now, it seems that my dream(s) are still very elusive and seem a distant.

Today's is the day when my eldest son will be getting his elementary UPSR result, this was the conversation ensued between me and him in regards to his impending result........

Papa, " Jovial, how many As are you confident of getting?"
Jovial," Confident one 4As."
Papa, " That's very good, can get 5As ka?"
Jovial," I think also can lah"
Papa." How about 6As?"
Jovial," I wish i could lah, i would love to, papa but ........."
Papa, " How about straight 7As, Jo,do you think you could do it?"
Jovial, " If i got it, Papa, i tell you it is only luck lah"

After the conversation has ended in relation to his UPSR impending result, i intercepted by asking him this question, " Jovial, what is your dream?" and i can tell you i was amazed by his spontaneous answer to my question then he said this to me, " Papa, you forgot already ka?, i told you i wanted to be an actor" to his respond ," i am sorry Jo, i didnt forget, i just thought that you might forget, sorry. but then again you wanted to be an actor in the likes of ?"

Again, without any pause, he said this, " told you already ma, i wanted to be like Jim Carrey" then i gave him a pat on the shoulder and telling him do keep that dream alive...........

Well, my Jovial, Jim Carrey, seems far fectch, doesnt it? but as a father i will keep reminding him of his DREAM.............. Blockbuster................" A child's Dream" starring Jovial Ung Ee, coming to cinema near you in year 2020...please book your tickets now...

Hmmmmmm, looks like today's result of his UPSR will not be a crediantial for his interview for the role of Jim Carrey....

Q)Are you living your dream now, your dream job, your dream income, your dream happiness, your dream partner, your dream car,,,, no matter how big or small , are you?

P/S : My dream is now is to keep blogging, who knows, one day i wil be ........

  3. I am definitely not living in my dream home, nor working in my dream job, or even living my dream life.

    It is all so different. But who knows, I might be achieve at least one or two in the future. I will keep trying to achieve.

    Now let your son know not to give up his dream. Keep trying, keep going, never let a fall break his dreams.

  7. The problem with most parents back in the old day is they never really have faith in a child's dream... I dont know about you but my parents is giving me that impression. they never encourage or really show support when you have a dream and try to achieve that dream. some parents just wanted their dream to be their children's dream. Well, Eugene, what you have in mind for your son is good. though some of their dreams might seems ridiculous and unachievable at the time but never ever tell a child that they cant, always believe in them and trust them. no one knows the future for sure. oops rambling thought =X
