expressed my feelings; 12:08 AM
Dreams. Have you ever thought about what they actually mean in your life?
I believe everyone has dreams. And I believe that dreams do come true, no matter how long it takes. I believe that dreams are what make a person's life worth living. I believe in living to chase my dream.
Even though dreams can be really absurd and out-of-this-world, but hey, they're still someone's dreams! And as respect towards that person harbouring that dream close to his heart, we should never look down on other's dreams, or critisize them.
I believe that dreams can make or break a person. They can give your life that spark it needs, and without dreams, life would be oh-so-mundane.
Do you remember when you were young, and the dreams that you dreamt were usually quite unrealistic, those that make you laugh at yourself for being so naive then? I definitely have had these dreams before, from wanting to become a teacher (not that it's anything bad) to Wonder Woman. It's true!
Over the years, I grew up, and gradually got over those childish dreams. Now, what I dream for is more realistic, but still what some people would call 'crazy'.
Being a teenager, and starting to think logically for my future, I would say that my dreams now are ones that could keep me interested for life. And give me enough income to stay alive. So although I admit that yes, my dreams can be quite out-of-the-ordinary, but nevertheless they are what I love and what I can see myself doing for as long as I can imagine.
Exactly what are these dreams that have stirred up so much passion in me? Well, I do dream to become a singer, to showcase my God-given talents to people, and share God with them. I know it's difficult to be a singer, but I've been having this aspiration since Sec One, so I've grown quite attached to it.
Also, I want to become a forensic scientist, studying pathology. I know many people would cringe at my mention of cutting up dead bodies and examining them, but hey, somehow I actually don't mind! Although I'd rather examine fingerprints and run tests on evidence from crime scenes.
I know that these two major dreams of mine are really absurd and do not have a big chance of coming true, but these are what I love doing, and what I can see myself doing all the way till I retire!
Therefore, I'm grateful to have a loving family who does not restrict my aspirations and dreams. My family is open enough to accept my less ordinary dreams, and even encourage me to fulfil them. And I thank them for being so understanding.
Friends, too, play an important part in inspiring me to chase my dreams. I'm glad and thankful that I have friends who, like my family, support my dreams and do not look down them. I'm satisfied that they take my dreams seriously. And in turn, I try my best to support their dreams and encourage them to take every opportunity to get one step closer to their dreams.
Dreams. That part of life I believe everyone has. If you don't have a dream, not even the smallest dream, then I persuade you to at least have one.
It doesn't matter if your dream is one that your friends laugh and joke about, or if your dream is totally 'weird', because if you chase your dreams, and manage to live them, you are already a winner. And you will thus gain respect from those whom did not respect you before.

Wow. I sound so compo-sy. Someone give me an A1 or something.
And today you have witnessed the rare-enough-but-not-really-rare side of Melody Chew. The side of Melody Chew that thinks, ponders, and writes.
Thank you for being so kind to read this blog entry. XD
