I am so sick of staying at home. I want to go out and see the world. I want to immerse myself in the sand, beach and sun. I want to do water sports. I haven't been diving for so long, I think my license deserves to be revoked; I highly doubt I still remember how to check my diving gear before setting off, all the more I can't remember how to get my buoyancy right. Goodness Gracious.
Out of boredom, with a strong urge to do Volunteer Work, with strong emphasis on education and/or conservation, I started surfing for overseas volunteering opportunities Again. This time, I found something I am really really very interested in. I think my life will change another 180 degrees after the trip. Not only will I gain exposure and experience, I will also gain knowledge, giving the amount of training they provide. How rare can that be! It's like doing and studying what I am genuinely interested in. I have the time, I have the interest, I have the passion, I have the guts and most importantly, I am Hungry to Learn.
But you know what? I lack Companion and Money.
Yes, Money is a huge factor, because the minimum length of stay is 4 weeks and it will cost some USD 2195, excluding charges like air flight tickets, insurance and visas.
Sighs.
May God Bless Me with that $10 million Ang Bao Toto. Okay, I'm not greedy, just tomorrows $3 million Toto all to myself and I will be very contented. I promise to return some part of it to the society; Social Entrepreneur shall be it, as the saying goes "Give a man a fish; you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime".
Shares a small secret: Even if i do not win the $3 million Toto, this is something I will like to do later in life when I have the means and capabilities to do so; at a point in life when I do not have very heavy financial status, and when my opportunity costs are lower.
Sounds ambitious. I wonder how many life goals of mine will actually be fulfilled when my life ends.Labels: Food for Thought
