People often question me...
Why Japan? Why not in Singapore, nor any other place?
Why another diploma? Why not university?
Why throw myself into the wild?
Why can I leave the place I call home?
Simple answer:
my dream.
I had always been inspired by Japanese soundtrack, be it games, tv dramas or anime. For some reason, there was this attractive aspect in the music that managed to drive me towards creating various inspirations in music composition and performance.
Well...In order to develop oneself in such an industry, sadly, i wouldn't classify Singapore as an ideal place for such studies and experience. The UK, US, Australia, even China has enough for one to develop a career in this aspect. However, why would I choose Japan before all else?
Just to say: If I were to go somewhere to pursue my dream, wouldn't the first location that come to mind be the place that inspired me in the first place?
I have already obtained a diploma in Singapore. People often ask why I wouldn't want to further my studies so that i can what..."have a wonderful career and stable income in the future". People are always aiming higher, naturally. So, why...why would i want to stay on the same level, if not, go a step back in life, and "waste" time in obtaining yet another diploma. Honestly, I am sick and tired of answering such questions.
I am not denying that these point of views aren't correct, everyone is right about this. Just that...just wanna say this: Everyone believes in different things.
I believe that I want to follow my dream and that following it is the right way.
And when there's a will, there's a way.
I've tried to obtain the Monbukagakusho scholarship for the 2nd time. And it seems I've been accepted by the Japanese government this time. I can no longer determine how hard I've worked for this scholarship. So, there is no way I would give up such a rare opportunity to do what I really want to.
If everything goes smoothly, I will definitely go to Japan. I don't want to chicken out because of some petty reason. I don't want to give up easily either.
I will strive to be successful in whatever I wish to accomplish.
I was inspired to move on this step by several motivating life stories, a really good friend, and I just hope that my actions will, in return, be able to inspire someone, anyone, who truly wants to fulfil their own dreams.
